No poems? We have 3 already. What, doesn't mine count?

I just meant: no more poems?? Of course yours counts. But I would like some more postings from other people too. It is a contest right??

[benn11]

When is the winner going to be announced?

[METERRE]

I'm thinking on the 30th depending on the total of poems posted. If there's only a few it might be sooner.

[METERRE]

So no more poems eh... well there's only four days left and so far we got less than 10 poems. Perhaps I should've known it wasn't that good of an idea.
Or should I be happy because judging will be very time-saving?

[magprob]

Oh, don't feel bad METTERRE. It was a good idea. People are not into poetry like they used to be. They would rather talk about themselves for hours and hours on end. So, enough about you, let's talk about me!
Seriously though, just scratch it. Call it a draw and move on. I have finally realized that I'm not going to win any Little Debbie Snack Cakes so I don't care any more.

Oh chit
I fell in a pit
Kids trick or treating
Walking and eating
Can't even here me in here
Somebody bring me a BEER
All dirty and wet
I feel like someone's lost pet
I just wanted to have some fun
But fun would be being with everyone
I am here all alone
I might end up just a big bone
Oh please save me
Before I have to pee
Is that a rope I see
Oh wait did you drop that down for me
Ooohhhh that came in handy...
Now give me all your CANDY!

[startover22]

Not everyone talks about themselves... MAGatory... Blah!
Meterre... I hope this works... if not, I will think of something better... I don't care about the debbie snacks, I only care about making you happy!

[METERRE]

Thanks startover, for making me happy... cause you did. When I read your poem it really made me crack a big smile, then crack up. I thought it was humorous. But you know what... I don't care if we end up with less than ten poems, I'm not giving up... we still have to judge them, and announce the winner. So on the 30th there has to be a winner.
Well I came up last minute with a crappy poem myself, but at least I tried. I'm just not good at poems. But you guys are better than me, and that counts a lot.

[METERRE]

This is what I could come up with... yeah I know it's not very good but I tried... I think it still needs something, perhaps a few more lines somewhere, or maybe some lines would fit better in a different place. I don't know you guys can tell me if you want.
PERFECT SCENE FOR HALLOWEEN
The shadows speak
As the floorboards creak
The silence yields a mutter
As the bats begin to flutter
The owl's stare, is somewhat keen
As he wonders what the mutters mean
The window cracks open and grabs your attention
As your heart beats fast, yet without intention
The ferocious lightning fills the room with light
As you shriek and yell, cause you're filled with fright
The woods, not far, sing with barks and howls
As you hope to hear the absence of growls
The hanging cobwebs adorn your hair
As the musty smell now fills the air
The sight of a figure passes your eye
As you think you hear, a ghostly voice cry
The hair on your neck is raising with fear
As you're thinking this night, is the worst of the year
The figure you've seen, you know is a ghost
As the thought creeps you out, to know who's your host
The ticking clock, seems to race really fast
As you feel every breath, might just be your last
The thing which you saw, has now disappeared
As you feel even so, the coast hasn't cleared
The clock hits 12, and your lantern's out
As your inner voice now urges to shout
The perfect night for the perfect scare
That leaves no room for a scream to spare

I love it meterre, scary... very scary...
Not crappy, beautifully written!

[METERRE]

Well anyway thanks for trying to cheer me up though. I just barely saw the other day the post about scary stories or jokes or stuff. I think Clough had the better more attractive idea. I should've thought of that... anyway I think it's a great post and I really liked reading all the stories people posted.
I'd post something if I had anything but right now I rather just read, and stick to finishing this "contest."

[startover22]

I haven't checked clough's post out.
I think this was a lovely idea...

[METERRE]

Well today the contest is officially over... at midnight. So if anyone(I feel like I'm talking to myself) is still interested in posting something, do so before midnight today. And then tomorrow I and/or someone else will choose the best posted poem.

[startover22]

Ok... we shall see... I kind of like watching you talk to yourself...
LOL... Just kidding, what are you talking about? You are never alone here... It is a PUBLIC forum sweet!

[METERRE]

Oh well thanks a lot but I'm not sure I'm too entertaining when I talk to myself... LOL. It is a public forum but it's just you and me in this thread. As far as actual responses. But don't worry I'm not crying or anything, it's OK I can't make people be interested in poems.

[startover22]

METERRE... I want to know who won... I don't think I can wait, the suspence is killing me!

[METERRE]

Then what poem do you vote for?? Gimme an honest answer please.

[startover22]

I am going to tell you... but I need time to rewind and read through!

[shatteredsoul]

I have erased my poem twenty times. IT just sounds so stupid and cheesy.
YOU won this contest by a long shot METERRE.. I loved your poem. Although I still think Magprob's was good and he did work hard for those Little Debbie snack cakes!!

[startover22]

Post your dang poem... I bet M... wouldn't mind waiting... geeze Shattered... I like M's too but I just can't decide! I am glad you decided to be the WINNER PICKER cause it ain't in me to do it!
