This is all very confusing. Is this a poetry or a design contest? Let the poets do their job jare and go open a seperate competition for designers. I wouldn't mind penning a few lines if not for the silly design element which just complicates matters. |

Ibime: This is all very confusing. This is neither a ranting or rapping competition.....chill out if it aint okay by u....they Tie rope for ur neck? |

Ibime: This is all very confusing. lol The design is to add spice to it. It is not affecting you as a poet at all. All u need do is to drop your rhymes and let the organizers have the headache of who to design. The design will not reduce your mark in anyway. lol Hi, how have u been? |

Ibime: This is all very confusing. Hi Ibime, thank you for your post. Now, let me market my idea to you. We all know the traditional way of writing poetry is the way you want it. But, we are trying to persuade and convince even the most reluctant readers. We are trying to be creative and innovative. Not only book writers should be pampered with cover-pages. Poets deserve that attention too. Besides, the design component is only in ROUND 2. This is also a way to challenge the designers, to go out of their tech routines, and do something more tender and emotional. So please, we would be honored to have your poem, and test your team work skills with a designer. Thank you! |

Awesome work, Cuddles! The painter and the poet...just like we see in some clubs and lounges. Really schweet. Now, I'm hoping we'd get enough graphic artists to match the number of poets, willingly...or we could look into enlisting Erad to do a little coercing for us. Anyhoo, well done Cuddles and HBG. |

I seat with my stethoscope My pen in hand, like a telescope My muscles twitch My brain waves switch My forehead shifts Contorting in thought Prodding for ideas Ideas that exist not I am a doctor Savior of lives Not a poet Master of lines At least by definition it is So I cannot Thread this path I cannot Lest I fail And be no better that Jack Of all trades Master of none 3 Likes |

As I caught a glimpse of this thread Excitement filled my eyes as I read An opportunity to show my creative end This I know is for no airhead Just then,they troop in with their heads Exactly the people I dread They are here,the poem eggheads To make we amateurs look like figureheads As I can't match up,I'll think of what to do instead Nothing except to quietly exit the contest thread. 2 Likes |
