Poem Title:
Poem
Please don't make your lines too long , As my eyes don't travel well . ( Note to self make opticians appointment ) And remember long poems, They really aren't your friend . And punctuation is the cornerstone It's what makes you one of us It's what sep-arates us from the journalists As they think it such a fuss. ( Note to self obtain book on punctuation ) And remember nothing clever Certainly nothing over my head , As I've pencilled in a migraine Judging poems from my bed. Now I can't really stress enough How important this is to me So I've gone to the inconvenience To write a poem about what I mean . Untitled "I was here, You were there, Love is everywhere" I've written this at 45 degrees and how pretty it all looks, agreed? As I like to blend my artistic flare With a first in trigonometry. This is just an example A masterpiece , plain to see . Show freedom of expression , But within my boundaries. Make sure you have Google Or a dictionary to hand And if you could write it upside down Then that would be , just grand. Swinging from a chandelier ( 10 Bonus points) While writing a sonnet of love And even paint the ceiling When you feel you've had enough. (Extra Bonus Points at the discretion of partner ) p276 (Extra marks given , this does Not apply to any other offer Or contest currently running Please read Terms and conditions Pages 2 to 365 This does not affect your Statutory Rights). Disclaimer alert all injuries Sustained while entering this contest Are the sole responsibility of the Second party that's you. Marks will be deducted for any Injuries sustained or caused In the creation of your work). So really what I'm looking for Is something simple, but sublime, A lot to ask I hear you say , Oh ! Did I forget to mention rhyme. I prefer an ABAB or an ABBA poem Limited syllables please As it reminds me of my husband ( Swedish) When he proposed to me . I want passion and glory, Of how the world began, Polite note , keep it brief As I've a short attention span. I try and keep my contests simple, No airs and graces do I provide, That's why I ask my 5 year old To stick a pin in one , and decide. Now if you've read my requirements (365 pages long ) Of which they are plain but stylish I'd really appreciate to receive No later than tomorrow Your entry written in Irish . Cead Mile Fáilte ( A Thousand Welcomes). No offence intended to any of the incredible Judges who give us contests to enter and make a difference.
