Our brave contestants have boldly entered the contest, fronting their corpsified poet of choice.
Honorable mentions go to:
te_lanus with Eyvind Finnsson Skaldaspillir
"Cut then keenly the king’s broadsword
through foemen’s war-weeds, as though water it sundered"
Aniki with Matsuo Basho
"a cuckoo cries
and through a thicket of bamboo
the late moon shines"
And Wafflecones with Jim Morrison
"The time to hesitate is through,
No time to wallow in the mire,
Try now we can only lose,
And our love becomes a funeral pyre."
--------
In the end only two remained.
khnk222 with James Russell Lowell
"They are slaves who fear to speak
For the fallen and the weak;
They are slaves who will not choose
Hatred, scoffing, and abuse,
Rather than in silence shrink
From the truth they needs must think;
They are slaves who dare not be
In the right with two or three. "
and
akhliber for somehow managing to creepily convert half the threadfolk into their own personal drone army. In front of this vast army of deceased is one Raymond Carver.
"Woke up this morning with
a terrific urge to lie in bed all day
and read. Fought against it for a minute.
Then looked out the window at the rain.
And gave over. Put myself entirely
in the keep of this rainy morning.
Would I live my life over again?
Make the same unforgiveable mistakes?
Yes, given half a chance. Yes."
And the winnnneeerrrr is…..
Oh man. I have to do a coin toss real quick. I canna' decide!
