Chatterbox: Chirp at Cricket

Cricketeer Poetry Contest

Cricketeer Poetry Contest!

So...this is how it works! We'll have three rounds so that I can participate in one too, and we won't leave anybody out. We'll have a first place and a runner-up.

I'll judge the first round. Anybody can enter! The winner of the first round will judge and pick a topic for the next one, so that he/she doesn't win two rounds in a row and I get to enter at one point as well.

So, topic is: Believing. Do you believe in fairies? What about hope? Books? Poetry? Do you really think that the rumors about neon green, pie-eating rabbits are true, or do you think that the one about a fluffy, pink pickle-like creature who is in love with your brother is more believable? Judging will take place NEXT SATURDAY 'cause I got summer camp, which means spending a week w/out electronics!

I'm not very confident in my poetry skills, but I'll give this a shot. Although I need inspiration... So it could be a few days before I enter. Good luck, everyone!

I don’t believe in fairies

I have never said the following line:

“Magic is real.”

I believe that

Magic doesn’t exist.

I disagree when they say

“Magic’s real!”

But so what?

Science says that sorcery can’t be true.

But so what?

There ARE supernatural creatures in this world.

I believe that

Magic. Is. Real.

Oh gee I totally forgot about this. My friend seriously hurt her ankle on Sat and then I got braces yesterday so I was highly distracted.

So...the winner is Clouded Lepeord, and the runner-up is Alexandra! Great poems guys. I chose yours because of the description, detailed image/moment depiction, and obvious effort on your parts. Clouded, you may judge round two! I'm making another thread...
