Freak board Contest - Ode to the King of the Dead-WINNER ANNOUNCED!

The King of the Dead - a great statue and one that should be part of any true Ringer's collection. The Sideshow Freaks board will be giving away a brand new King of the Dead statue (opened for inspection). But you're going to have to work for this one. Write a poem or song about this character (or statue) and send it to me at: [email protected]
Subject: "Ode to KoD"
Include -
-your board name
-real name
-Shipping address
and the poem

The deadline for submissions is midnight PST September 18. This is open to US and international board members.

It can be a haiku or an epic, funny or sad; just make it good. A team of highly trained literists will judge the poems (or maybe just me). The winning poem will be posted here after the contest is over.

Get out those quill pens and let's see some poetry!

Very cool of you and SS Dave!! Since, I have one I will pass on this contest.

Oh, this is a tough one!

I was rubbish at English at school but I'll see if I can get a few lines down.

I've got my first three lines but I'm strugling with an end!

Just finished my 12 line poem!

I think this has to be the first ever poem I've writen... I might have to start wearing fancy hats with feathers in them! :hat

I'll email it over in a bit... I just want to check a few bits in it.

Psycho Cenobite

I've just sent the email with the poem! :yay

Just to point out that I'm not very good at spelling or English in general. So if there are any spelling mistakes or incorrect grammor, let me know and I'll try to correct them.

As I already have KOTD, I pass. Great contest Dave

TC :bonk :eye :bonk

There one lived the King Of The Dead,
Who actually didn't live as he was speared through the head,
Isildur he betrayed, and was made to haunt a cave,
Now he's waiting for a king and a sword instead!

RE:

Violets are blue,
Roses are red,
The way is shut,
Said the King of The Dead!

This wasn't the one I entered but I might put it in if I can enter twice! :yay

Re: RE:

Another GREAT contest Dave!!!!! I'm in! Email sent.

I was a poet,
And didn't know it!

Guard protect and cherish this land. For there is no afterlife for a place that started out as Heaven.

Re: RE:

I'm gonna hazard a guess and say that the poem has to be in English, right?

Hmmm....I better get my groove on if I want to win this one :hat

Re: RE:

English? You can write it in Elvish if you want, but I'll need a translation into English also then.

Re: RE:

Hi Dave! Nice idea this comp!

Did you get my poem? I have to send from my Wanadoo account and I'm never to sure if they send!
