Iron Poet III
Welcome to Iron Poet, round three of the most awesome competition (take that, Iron Author!)
Rules
1) Only the first 16 respondants expressing a desire to compete will be the contestants. It IS a first come, first served basis.
2) The contest will consist of a number of rounds pitting 2 randomly determined authors against each other until only one contestant remains (winner).
3) Each matchup will be given a theme, picture, article, subject, or other criteria to write on, and the poem submitted must match this as much as possible. Stricter following of prompts may help you win.
4) The winner as determined by a panel of judges will advance to the next round.
5) In case of a judge or judges not posting judgments in a timely manner, I will adjudicate and determine the winner.
6) The poems will be limited to 1000 words with a 50 word minimum
7) The entries will be poems. All forms of poetry are acceptable, as long as they meet the required word lengths. If your chosen style is too short, you are free to make two of them, i.e., you may make a limerick with 48 words, then add another limerick, still following the same theme, to reach the required word length.
8) All posted deadlines will given in as much time zones as possible, as labeled.
9) No late entries will be accepted. If you don't post or fail to post by the deadline, you will be disqualified. You have one freebie per contest, use it wisely.
10) If your entry does not include the article(s) and the picture(s), you will most likely lose because of it.
11) The judgments are final. What the judges decide is how it is.
12) The entries will only include content suitable for the Playground. The Giant is nice enough to share his Playground with us and we will respect his rules while playing here.
13) I will rule on anything I have forgotten or needs clarification which is brought to my attention
14) The contestants will have 1 week (roughly) from the bracket posting to get their entries posted.

“Sometimes, immersed in his books, there would come to him
the awareness of all that he did not know, of all that he had not read;
and the serenity for which he labored was shattered as he realized the
little time he had in life to read so much, to learn what he had to know.”

Re: Iron Poet III
Hmm...I was seriously considering entering this but...I'm going to wait to decide. If I feel I've got enough time, and there are still slots open, I'll possibly join up in a few days.

To read a text that "Methodical Meat" has writ
Is no easy feat, but it shall be well worth it
For the flames of his spectacled genius
Delve deep into you and many neurons it hews
And asunder them rends
And once more mends
Methodically he arrays them again
His readers' brains,
From meaty stains
New seeming, and better than before
He leaves his readers better than before!

Re: Iron Poet III
I shall compete ONLY if I can be sure that there are sufficient judges for the contest to run semi-smoothly. Right now there are two that we know are going to be steady and consistent.
So put me down for competition and we'll see what happens.(Avatar by Cuthalion, who is great.)

If no one has any objections, I believe I might be of service.

Re: Iron Poet III
Judges are full, 3 more contestants needed.
If you have any ideas for prompts, please send them to me in a PM.“Sometimes, immersed in his books, there would come to him
the awareness of all that he did not know, of all that he had not read;
and the serenity for which he labored was shattered as he realized the

Re: Iron Poet III
We need three more! Three more contestants!
Anyone?
You may have to start the process of doing it with 12, Vaynor. Someone's going to get a bye. Maybe a few people, but with some creative finagling, it could be reduced to only one or two.(Avatar by Cuthalion, who is great.)

Re: Iron Poet III
Well done, old man! There is no post-count-requirement for this contest. Nor a talent requirement either. Just the willingness to try and have fun.
And might I compliment you on your country, sir?(Avatar by Cuthalion, who is great.)

Re: Iron Poet III
Of course! ->if I may compliment you on your avatar and your ass.
Though seriously, I'm very slightly unhappy about my country at this time of year with a broken furnace and a repairman who won't return my calls.
Edit: and your choice in hobbies. Serve me some homebrew mead in a whale tusk please.Last edited by Kneenibble; 2008-01-22 at 11:53 AM.
