So, here's the rotten creatu egg I got from Derp Days! There are only 11 of them in the game, and the most recent purchase was in 2013 for 75 mil. Since I don't come here that often anymore, I figured I'd host a contest for it.


Rules:

1. Suggest a poem to me. Include the ti
tle and the poet's name in your suggestion. You can either post below or Rmail me.
2. It must be one poem, not two or multiple poems.
3. There is no minimum length. Maximum length is 5000 words. (But obviously longer does not equal better.)
4. It must not be written by yourself.
5. I have to be able to find it online so I can read it. Otherwise, Rmail it to me in a neat, easily readable form.
6. The poem must be (mostly) in English. Translations from other languages are fine, but not encouraged.
6. Whoever suggests the poem I like the best that I haven't heard of before wins.

(Please note that this is based on my personal taste, so no offense to anyone or their poem if you don't win.)

Good luck everyone!

Edit: Entries read and judged. Read the last post to see who won!

One of my favourite poems, ever.

I would have to say the Raven by Edgar Allen Poe... but i dont know if its less than 5000 words.  i think it is. 

Wondering if prose is also accepted as well?

Nature's first green is gold by Robert Frost.

Jewlzzies- only if it's considered a prose poem.

Entries judged!

then00breturns- Yours was really interesting and funny. I didn’t know there was a poem that went along with that movie! The whole time I was imagining what it was like to be Jack Skellington. Looking at him, you would think that he perfectly enjoyed being in Halloween. But it’s funny how people can have secret desires and different parts of their personality!

lilie- I love that poem, but unfortunately I’ve heard of it. It’s very good though. You can just imagine the sound and rhythm of the sea and the feeling of emptiness.

Yandere- Yours was really thought provoking. It’s kind of like the question, would you rather know you were going to die or be in ignorant bliss? Made me go look up Bernkastel!

tinkytasha- Your poem was really clever, well-written, and so true too! Teachers hardly ever do anything about bullying. I love how the teacher keeps telling him to do such ridiculous things, like sit in the sink and lock himself in the cupboard, but she just won’t help him.

Excelscia- I love that one, but I’ve heard of it too, sorry. Poe’s poetry is very beautiful though. It has such a musical, dark, and ethereal quality to it.

Lunasparkle- Same thing, I love the poem, but I’ve heard of it. It’s amazing that there can be so much emotion and meaning in such a short poem though.

Kotu- Yours was really meaningful. All of it is good advice to follow. Being a good person can be paradoxical, but it a weird way, it makes sense.

Chironex- I love the intensity of your poem. I especially love the line "You see death's hand that has glazed her eyes”. Yet even though she has died inside, people still don’t see it on the outside or have sympathy for her.

The entries were all really good and so different, so it was hard to pick a winner. But overall my favorite one was the poem submitted by…

tinkytasha! Congrats! Sending over the egg.

Ah! Thank you very much. 

congrats, tasha
