Poetry Competition 3/1/2005-10/1/2005?

Babar · Mon 03/01/2005 09:17:55

Welcome to the first ever AGS poetry competition. You have one week in which to submit your entries after which there will be 3 days of voting. This is subject to change depending on how you think it should work.

Ok, this weeks rules are as follows:
You are a character who has been jailed for robbing a bank. You want to tell your wife where you hid the loot, so you write her a love poem. Inside the love poem, you have to somehow convey where you hid the money. It can't be too obvious, because your letters are going to be read. However, don't make it too obscure either, or she won't understand.
Good luck

Excellent rules!

I wanted to write you
The ultimate letter of love, then
I thought of that weekend
that we spent in Skye
I am yours forever!

Do not doubt
That I remember your touch
Your kiss, your perfume

The memory of them
is what keeps me from dementia
Each of your letters I keep
And I read them until
You set my heart on fire

Wait for me, please wait
for when I can again be your lover
I am yours alone
Please remain only mine

Nice idea for a competition, and nice rules. See if you can spot where it's hidden, although I think its a bit obvious for mine.

Up in the clouds, through the rivers,
Nowhere near this place of shadows.
Down there with you, I wish to be,
Everthing to be the way it should be.

Right now I'm thinking of you,
Drowning in my tears just thinking of you.
Over these days, I am truly sorry,
Or with this gift I would not worry.

Right now I want to see you're face,
Many times I've longed to win this race.
A love that will last, 'though I did you wrong,
Today I want to give to you through this song.

Roses are red,
violets are blue,
the booty is under the bed
but I still love you.

Just joking, when I have some time, I'll put myself into it

Spoiler

It may well feature in a movie, but I have no idea which one and I didn't deliberately take it from anywhere

This is about SSH's entry. Read on if you figured it out.

Spoiler

The ultimate letter part threw me off first. I was looking at the letters in "ultimate"

. Then I tried to look at your poem like I did auhsor's, and found the answer.

The winner is the first person who doesn't use the word "under" in their clue!

DragonRose · Tue 04/01/2005 15:45:40

I remember meeting you
On a bright September day
We danced the night away
I would give anything to be there
With you
Everything is there
With you

Booyah! And I didn't use "under!"

SSH: Hee hee.. you're thinking too hard. No one said it had to be a cypher.

Pelican · Tue 04/01/2005 23:41:56

My love for you, shines like the sun,
Over meadows where we once roamed,
When wildflowers graced your hair,
And hardship we had not known.

Look to our secret grove,
Of passion, among the trees,
And there you'll find my heart,
Hidden beneath the leaves.

Hah, I didn't use "under" either!

Indie Boy · Wed 05/01/2005 21:20:33

XxxxxxxxX

Bleeding in hell
I generaly weep
Bills remain
Loves one
Evoles bits

Craves oh.........
Oh the love from you
Deliverence is soon
Enjoy!!!!!!!!!

XxxxxxxxX

HillBilly · Wed 05/01/2005 21:56:00

Oh how I love the smell of your perfume,
Your shiny, blue eyes,
and your red and firm lips,
Please clean the big box in the attic!

Bet noone can solve that nut. hahah!

Bombadil · Thu 06/01/2005 11:33:53

I don't get Potter's one...
How can I hide text like you guys do?

I'll post mine in a while...

Babar · Thu 06/01/2005 11:45:18

Gaaah! I think I got everyone's hidden message, except for Dragonrose....unless:

Spoiler

The husband is talking about some place that they met at in september, and "everything is there"?

Here's mine... hope it's not too difficult...
[Maybe there are some few mistakes or rhymes that don't rhyme... but I'm not an Englishspeaker native...

Here I am in jail
writting in your mail
a little poem of love
thinking about what my dreams are made of

My mind goes to our little house,
where uncountless times I undressed your blouse.
Or in our sofa in the garage
where you used to give me my good-night massage.

Excuse me if I barely remember our study,
where we "created" our little Judie,
but just thinking of our bed
I can't take you out of my head

In our garden full of flowers,
where we spent delightful hours,
we had a precious lemon tree
under which leaves I kissed thee.

Here I can't get no clover,
but when all seems over,
I remember Monkey Island...

Where's the money?

DragonRose · Thu 06/01/2005 22:41:03

Ding ding ding! Babar is a correct person!

auhsor · Fri 07/01/2005 12:27:22

Just a note. I'm not expecting to win, but I still have to sit out of the comp as I am about to leave for 2 weeks holiday
