2nd DPS poetry writing competition :)
-
Heehee, I thought love got mixed feeling mah.Originally posted by tare:of cos lah, duh.... tis poem abt a love lost leh..... hubby still mean no need to get over
Sometimes I also write 'lost love' kind of poem for my loved one.
-
Well, I was already thinking about that poem and had the rough structure ready before I knew there was this competition. Had fun trying to omit the use of words with the letter 'u'.Originally posted by DeadPoet:Dear ratslen, your poem has set a new height for DPS poetry competition. I really hope the rest of the poets will not be discouraged because of this.
Excellent! -
Hmmm.....worth a try but may I ask if the author would be made known to the readers of the poems posted?
-
Once an idea,
Always an idea,
Wrong,
Be an idea clubber,
No longer will your idea stay an idea,
Never will it be a misty dream,
Never an imagination,
Be a idea club eager,
Ever ready to sow to greater height.
To test your mighty wing of idea.
That is the true spirit of idea clubber,
To serve and never to despair or yield.

No lar its not about being shy or not lor. I just feel that the votes might not be objective if the author is being made known coz sometimes people tend to want to support their friends mar.Originally posted by tare:if no put who's the author who to award the winner?!

Good timing.Originally posted by ratslen:Well, I was already thinking about that poem and had the rough structure ready before I knew there was this competition. Had fun trying to omit the use of words with the letter 'u'.
You have not only omit the word 'love' but also words with the letter 'u' and yet still able to write such an excellent poem. Well done! -

Hey froggie,Originally posted by froggie:No lar its not about being shy or not lor. I just feel that the votes might not be objective if the author is being made known coz sometimes people tend to want to support their friends mar.
There will be two kind of voting. One is open voting which allows everyone to cast their votes (two votes each). The other kind will be votes by the four judges, i.e. each with 15 votes. (Total of 60 votes)
In order to be fair, I am thinking of changing judges for every competition. The problem is in identifying them. Not many people in sgforums are interested in poetry. Secondly, I do know that there are clique in sgforums, but I trust the judges to be fair when casting their votes.
I will try my best to make sure that the competition is conducted fairly.
If you have any suggestions, please let me know. Thank you.
Looking forward to see your poem! -
It is just an idea,
If not excluded from competition,
I would submit it for competition too. -
Thanks for the reply. I'm sure the organiser will do all they can to ensure the fairness of the competition. I will try to crack my brain hard to come up with something.Originally posted by DeadPoet:Hey froggie,

Just a question? To avoid the usage of 'love' word in the poems.. Does that mean words like 'loving' or 'lovely'... etc. should be avoided too
-
yup yup.... frm the root word "love" all cannot use.... loving, lovely, lovable etc... more challenging rite?Originally posted by Devil1976:Just a question? To avoid the usage of 'love' word in the poems.. Does that mean words like 'loving' or 'lovely'... etc. should be avoided too
devil u're joining ?? -
Good question!Originally posted by Devil1976:Just a question? To avoid the usage of 'love' word in the poems.. Does that mean words like 'loving' or 'lovely'... etc. should be avoided too
Thanks for pointing that out!
After much considerations, I have come to a decision. All words that have 'love' in it will not be acceptable. For example, lovelorn, lovesick, lovely, lover, loved one, loveless, lovemaking, beloved, etc.
Of course the word ‘luv’ is also not acceptable.
However words like lovable and lovingly are okay.
Dear judges, please take note of the changes.
Thank you. -
Dear ratslen and Master -_- , I have read through your poems, both are not affected by the latest changes.

The judges of DPS 2nd poetry writing competition is out!
They are, KittynMeow, the Bear, tare and LazerLordz! Two former judges and two new judges.
IÂ’ve also decided that the winner of the previous competition will automatically be appointed as one of the judges (unless he/she turns down the invitation).
In the previous competition, we have two winners, i.e. tare and TX. Since tare is the judge for this round, TX will automatically be one of the judges for the next round. (Together with this round winner)
TX, please take note.
I hope my arrangements are agreeable to all poets. Thanks. -
Can lah. If you very luan, don't worry I will guide you.Originally posted by tare:hmm.... to be fair, "lovable" and "lovingly" also not acceptable rite? otherwise very luan! u must pity me tis beginner judge! -
My entry.
Title: I Hate You... Not
I hate you not,
I swear I don't.
You infuse me with,
A warm fuzzy glow.
When I see you,
I close my eyes.
For to open them,
Means my heart will sigh.
And yet I cannot,
Tell you what I know.
And what I know,
Is that I adore you so.
It is my cowardice,
That drives me from you.
That I appear mean,
And melancholy isn't true.
But I cannot allow,
Myself to get near you.
Because I hate you not,
But I hate myself so. -
~clap~clap~clap~
I hate it ... not.
Love it! -

i write for fun one....
Who is this that steals my heart?
Big bright eyes,
Sparkle with charm,
Always smiling,
Stealing my heart away.
Long flowing hair,
Shiny and smooth,
You are so fair,
Who can compares to you?
Slender build,
Body so slim,
Not an ounce of fat,
No matter what you eat.
Gags you play,
Destruction you creates,
Correction you escapes,
Wagging gets you away. -
