Irshittabey: It has been fun all the way,following the judges, i was elated when the 3rd judge realesed his/her result(which was the 1st result to be released),while i couldn't believe my eyes when the results of the 2nd and 4th judges came out,it looked like a fairy tale.I never thought i could score that high,this competion is an encouragement for me to keep writing and composing(despite being a science student with little knowledge of English literature).
KUDOS TO THE MOD
I came 22nd/21st(copy and paste error)
I am happy! smiley smiley

Likewise me, those ones from the faculty of art tend to write better than us. But anyway, forward ever.

Please, I couldn't find the scores for Judge 5 and 6 there.
Is that the overall score?

Yes. Not all the judges made it. Sorry about that!
Using the law of average, it wont have made much difference.

By the way, we have accommodated 30 instead of 20

Ahem...Victory Speech

I would like to thank the judges for voting, my dad for toasting, my mum for accepting, and the leaking condom for my 'concepting'.

I hope to continue to write disturbing ramblings disguised as poetry, while continuing to make a general nuisance of myself on these boards.

Thank you all.

Pardon my manners, congratulations wink

Cuddles, why not use the names of the users for pairing instead of numbers to avoid confusion since the numbers will change in the second round anyway.

Cuddlemii:
Anyhoo, the official Judges are Orikinla, Tgirl4real, Mynd_44, Rocktation, Coogar, Masterpiecer. Not all of them were available to grade this round. Most of them were busy. But for the subsequent rounds, you'd see them around, and they would probably give their expert advise as well. This is just the preliminary stage. Thanks

who amongst them was judge 1? I've always hated 69 with passion! Because it drops you at a B when just one mark to make it 70 would have given you an A!sad

Na this kain thing dey make me swear for lecturers angry

FATE

It’s a new day, first of the rest
Daybreak broke a shell
My walls crashed a moment ago
To behold a world I can’t call my own

Will I grow cold cutting coat?
And get it stripped from a hot water bath?
Will I grow a chord that calls up the dawn
Or have skyscraper feed on my lungs
Will I have flames grace my skull?
Or have my carcass litter the floor
Will I prime to die at His Birth?
And my laps a delight on a dinning slab?

Whichever, whatever way
Whatever, whichever way
I wish a better bargain
In a world I can’t call my own

My wretchedness has come clear to the fore
I feel nothing without feeling it
And see nothing without seeing it
Wish I never climbed through to the fur
Gazing right into the eyes of fate

Yes, by God's grace I squeezed into Round 2. As a brilliant Engineer who likes writing & poetry without studying Art technically, my joy is that my poetry isn't seen as crap. I just think we all should be encouraged to be better poets than ourselves. We just could hit the Hall of Fame someday.
