THIS CONTEST IS OVER


- All poets from Solemn Lines are open to this first drawing of poets for the world cup.
- Using any method you choose (polls, random choice, careful analysis, etc,) choose your single BEST poem from all of the poems you've written on Solemn Lines. The judges (Rhuaide, Blasphemy, Half-Mad Poet, and Linderel) will choose the best ONE from all of those to represent our Wiki in the near future.
- Judges may enter their poem.
- Lines and such do not matter; content is open.
- Deadline is [JULY 25th, 2006].

Best of Luck.

~Rhuaide.

The winner of this contest is...

FIZBAN!!!

with the poem...

"LAZINESS WITH A CAPITAL 'L'"!

Laziness with a capital L,
Oh how this would take one to hell.
Sloth or not, only the believer can transcend,
where the saint may very well end.


Here we stand all tried and true,
Afraid not to believe in you.
what would happen to every good man,
who simply lived without great sin,
good intent born akin?
Yet meaningless against the shrew,
who simply holds within them,...you.


Step back! It's the end of the line,
turn around, you must pay the fine.
For living that life without this one,
one life, one way, for only the best,
when laid to rest;
Can claim rights to that fest
up high in the sky, where the cherubs sing, and the devils cry.


But why, oh why? What have you done?
Well, take a look at yourself.
You lived your life unlike the rest
those put up to the test
could not survive lest, He had saved them.
Yet you stood alone, cold against life’s harsh reign,
and for staying strong, and toughin’ it through life’s solemn main,
for ever on, you face disdain.


Without contributing to those fancy statues,
without diluted light of giant windows,
or, not the love of ones maker
but the forced lies of the faker,
life is but a cold respite,
unto the bitter blight
of mans un-replicated original,
without the so called sins of our time.


"This way to eternal torment, get in line."
Sounds from the gold Plated shrine.

Sadly, unless we get more positive feedback from the other poetry wikis, this contest will end here. SO GET OUT THERE AND WHORE THE CONTEST!!!

2006-09-01 [Dil*]: when is this thing ending?

2006-09-02 [Elysian]: Well, this version has ended. Fizban was the winner, with the poem "Laziness with a Capital L". Currently, there is little activity on Solemn Lines due to college and other obligations. Soon we will be back. Thank you for your interest.

2006-09-02 [Fizban]: O.O!!

I entered, just to be supportive of the wiki...like, here, heres a haha token entry...yeah,...now lets go see someone like [Half-Mad Poet] (who in a competition of that poem, beat it...) or [Dil*], (who I would never even try to compete with...as she was the one who inspired the poem I entered...) to win it.

What was I like the only one who entered...

2006-09-02 [Elysian]: No, but you do need a slight bit of confidence in your abilities. You were chosen from probably five or six poets.

2006-09-02 [Dil*]: Nah, you beat me fair and square, I'm just wondering why I didn't see his posted.
