Closed Contests

[sapphiresmoke]

All contests in this thread are now closed to entries. More contests may be found on the club page on HL.

We have a couple of new contest! Here's the info:

Club Card Contest
Rules:
1) Must have some kind of writing or book on it, obviously, since we're the Literature Club. Whether or not is has a horse on it is up to you.
2) The club name and the number of the account must be on it.
3) If it can sort of match the layout (doesn't have to be exact), that would be a plus.
4) Have the names of both prezzies on it.
5) We'll end the contest when we have enough entries. The prize will be 500k for now, but it might go up.

Poetry Contest
Rules:
1) It does not have to rhyme, be a certain length, or be about a certain topic. Just have fun with it! Nothing too long, of course (Hollywood and Trinity do have to read all of the entries that come in). Just keep it less than a ballad, okay?
2) Prize will be 500k. As with the club card contest, this may go up. The deadline will be posted soon.

If we have an entry, do we post it here or in the poetry section?

[sapphiresmoke]

Please message your entry to the club. So far, everyone has made the poem into a pic (type it onto the background) and sent the link of the pic to the club. If you can't do that, you can post it here and I can do it for you.

okay its not a rhyming poem but it is a very special poem to me.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I’m sorry I didn’t love you enough; I wish that I had
But instead, I took you for granted
And missed what could’ve been.

I look back and think
Of all the fun times we spent
Together.

Learning to drive to golf carts
Collecting golf balls
Art lessons.

But that was when I was little
More recently, we went dancing
In the town square.

But the most recent times of all
Are the most
Saddening.

You desperately wanted to share your wisdom
With me
But I ignored it.

You wanted to compare
Our childhoods
But I only half paid attention.

Now that I’m
Going off
To high school nearly,

I feel like
I’ll always forget
Something.

It must be the smile
That I always got
From you.

What I’ll miss most are
Your fuzzy sweater, cologne scented
Extra cozy hugs.

I wish
Right now
I could have one.

Just one more
Is all
I ask.

But my wish
Will not be fullfilled
For a long while.

For you are filling Heaven
With your hugs and
Mery mirth.

I am jealous of those
Up in Hevan
With you.

For they are
Getting the hugs
I so desperately want.

I’ll miss hearing your unmistakeable voice
On the other end
Of the phone.

I’ll miss you when I’m in horse shows
For your loud voice and boastful attitude
Will not be there to encourage me.

I’ll miss you so much when I’m in musicals
Because music and dancing
Were two of your favorite things.

I’ll miss you most at Cheeseburger in Paradise
For Jimmy Buffet music
Was some of your favorite.

As I think
Of the memories
I feel tears tracing my facial lines.

Especially the laughter lines
Which you helped
To create.

I wish so much for you to be here now
To wrap me in a cologne grandpa sweater hug
And reassure me that everything was all right.

I’ll miss
The lakehouse
And The Villages.

But I think the one thing I’ll miss the most
Is
Your incredible smile.

It can make anyone smile
Especially with your famous jokes
And stories of tricking the nuns.

I wish so much to relive that Sunday before you died
So I could tell you how much I loved you
And your hugs and stories.

I at least wish
That God would give me the chance
To say goodbye.

If I could hear your voice once more
Feel your warm embrace a last time
I would never complain again as long as I lived.

On the day of your burial, so many promies and vows were made to you
I wish that I had something to say then
But I didn’t.

Now that I think of it
There are a few things
I have to say.

I promise
With God as my witness
To be nicer to Kevin.

I promise
To try my absolute hardest
At everything I do.

I solemnly swear
To visit you and Grandma Eileen
As often as I can.

I’m runnin out of things to say
Although there is only one thing left to say and it’s this:
I’m sorry.

I wish I hadn’t taken you for granted
Because it’s true that
You don’t know what you have until it is gone.

Fancy That.

Well I was sitting at home,
just like you do.
Watching television whilst
drinking a brew.

When all of a sudden,
who could have knew?
A pixie came tapping;
his name was Stu.

He'd brought me some biscuits
and a lovely cake too!
So we lit up and candles,
and out they were blew.

"Happy birthday!" he cried,
like an actor on cue.
"That cake wasn't mine,
I baked it for you!"

I shook my head solemnly
"My birthday's not due,
for weeks or months even and
their number isn't few."

His eyes welled with tears,
"That's just not true,"
he cried with disappointment,
"I was told so by Sue."

He huffed and he puffed,
a real paddy he threw.
"I'm gonna find me some traffic,
to push her into!"

Well, he carried on shouting.
He turned the air blue!
And when he finally finished,
i was forced to say "phew".

It was overreacting,
in my point of view.
So i booted the chap
with the toe of my shoe.

"You're pretty rotten at heart,
and that's not untrue!"
I told Stu the pixie,
so he knew we were through.

"I bet Sue was joking,
it's nothing new,
so get out of my house,
go on now. Shoo!"

That was the last i saw
of that mean pixie who,
into a right royal temper
he quickly flew.

Ah, excellent... You're entering it. In the new contest, though... Not this one. This one's done... I'll post it as an entry in the new one.

[azaioh]

May I enter the club carb contest?

[sapphiresmoke]

The club card contest is over, as I mentioned... I'm not posting new contests here anymore, as no one seems to look at them. The new contest are on the club page on HL. Right now, we have a poetry contest and a short story contest.
