Poetry, like a lot of art, is subjective; and at times it can be difficult to tell the difference between good poetry and bad poetry.
Well,
THOSE TIMES ARE OVER.
Presenting The THird Ubersite Poetry extrAvaganza! The most respected and definitive online poetry competition in the known universe.
The rules to THUPA are these:
1. Your entries must be original, and not from a previous post.
2. There are no assigned themes or titles; you are free to write about any subject your little heart desires, but it must be poetry. No prose.
3. The entry must be written. There are no audio or visual presentations allowed. Images are okay.
4. Round one deadline: Thursday, 12/18 at 11:59 PM ET. Scoring for Rd. 1 ends Sunday, 12/21 at 11:59 PM ET. Being that Christmas falls in round two, the deadline will be pushed to Sunday, 12/28 and scoring will end on Tuesday, 12/30. Round 3 deadline is 1/4, (scoring ends 1/6) Semifinals will have a 1/11 deadline, (scoring ends 1/13) and the final round entries will be due 1/18, with the whole she-bang ending and a WINNAR declared at 11:59 PM ET on Wednesday, 1/21.
5. The best two non-advancing entries from the first round will advance to round two. The best rated non-advancing entry from round two will advance to round three. The bracket below is the one we will use throughout the entire contest.
6. Being that there were 23 entries and that number is impossible to bracket fairly, I had to step in and be part of the competition. If anybody is interested in having my spot, please speak up: I was planning on being a poetry facilitator here and not necessarily a poetry creator.
Best of luck and may the most cunning linquist win!

Hey, that's cool. You may punish as you see fit if I've broken the rules.
I'd have lost anyway, since ghola was in the lead before *someone* broke out an alter to fix the scores on the first entries.
I mean, c'mon, fixing up a fake online poetry contest? How lame is that?

I know it is terribly hard to keep up with "current events" but this happened quite a while ago.
Sorry to be the one to tell you. I can understand your affixation with radios. I watched a movie once.
It was called "radio" i believe. It opened my eyes to the plight of the mentally challenged who love and collect radios.
I'm to understand that all of you do it.

Well maybe if you weren't such a woman you wouldn't live up to the vagina sterotype.
ALSO IF BY "PEN" YOU MEAN PENIS AND BY "WRITES A POEM" YOU MEAN "PREFORMS GAY SEX AT AN EMBARRASSINGLY INADEQUATE LEVEL" THEN YOU WOULD BE RIGHT.
But that is neither here nor there, point is you're a munchkin
and a woman
possibly a transvestite.
ergo an oompa loompa.

I was gonna save this for my first round but here....jsut a little something
Thinkin of a master plan
Cuz ain't nuthin but sweat inside my hand
So I dig into my pocket, all my money is spent
So I dig deeper but still comin up with lint
So I start my mission- leave my residence
Thinkin how could I get some dead presidents
I need money, I used to be a stick-up kid
So I think of all the devious things I did
I used to roll up, this is a hold up, ain't nuthin funny
Stop smiling, be still, don't nuthin move but the money
But now I learned to earn cos I'm righteous
I feel great! so maybe I might just
Search for a 9 to 5, if I strive
Then maybe I'll stay alive
So I walk up the street whistlin this
Feelin out of place cos, man, do I miss
A pen and a paper, a stereo, a tape of
Me and eric b, and a nice big plate of
Fish, which is my favorite dish
But without no money it's still a wish
Cos I don't like to dream about gettin paid
So I dig into the books of the rhymes that I made
To now test to see if I got pull
Hit the studio, cos I'm paid in full
