I wasn't trying to kiss up ya pain in the butt monkey.
I think it's cool that they made the effort to get the contest going just for the good of the board.I wonder if I can work smacking a monkey repeatedly into a winter poem? Anyone making that into a pervy statement will also have a starring role in a violent poem.

Great, I think I've managed a poem as bleak as the view out my window.
With a week to go, I could problably get to desolate, or even barren.

You're allowed to use the windows of your mind, you know...

damn it! I missed the view from my window part and damn it and I already wrote the poem.
okay I can do this I can do this, I used to write 4 a day, I can write one fucking poem.
let me open the blinds see what is happening across the street. Hopefully the neighbors have their blinds open too,
urgh

Does the poem have to have a reference of looking out the window at winter?
(Sorry, a little slow and just now seeing this 1st monthly Lit poetry contest thread.)

Seems like winners should be "out" for the rest of the year, right?
It would be cool if there could be a way to do a plurality poll. The mathematics of voting is fascinating. I know I'm drifting off into never-never land here, but I can't imagine that I won't want to vote on more than one poem.
I bet the voting is gonna be hard. For me, at least.
Oh, will Bubba and his pals be voting? Or is this posted only in the poetry feedback thread?
*breaks out into sweat, babbling Spanish expletives*

Stop whining, people.
The poem should be winter themed and it should include a reference the view from your window. You don't need to use the words view and window, though, and I already said that "you're allowed to use the windows of your mind". Come on, that could mean anything! It's just a thought to get you started.
I'm happy to announce that we have already received 12 poems, but some of you are still resisting! You have a little less than 52 hours left to send in your entry!

Re: rules
We only have a real prize for this first edition (for now, at least), so no one will be excluded!foehn said:

A Winter Poem
Can I enter this one and call it an emulation.
An Old Man's Winter Night
by Robert Frost
All out-of-doors looked darkly in at him
Through the thin frost, almost in separate stars,
That gathers on the pane in empty rooms.
What kept his eyes from giving back the gaze
Was the lamp tilted near them in his hand.
What kept him from remembering what it was
That brought him to that creaking room was age.
He stood with barrels round him -- at a loss.
And having scared the cellar under him
In clomping there, he scared it once again
In clomping off; -- and scared the outer night,
Which has its sounds, familiar, like the roar
Of trees and crack of branches, common things,
But nothing so like beating on a box.
A light he was to no one but himself
Where now he sat, concerned with he knew what,
A quiet light, and then not even that.
He consigned to the moon, such as she was,
So late-arising -- to the broken moon
As better than the sun in any case
For such a charge, his snow upon the roof,
His icicles along the wall to keep;
And slept. The log that shifted with a jolt
Once in the stove, disturbed him and he shifted,
And eased his heavy breathing, but still slept.
One aged man -- one man -- can't keep a house,
A farm, a countryside, or if he can,
It's thus he does it of a winter night.
(I just want to depress all the other contestants.)
