Notice: This is supported by Admin Bulerias and will soon be stickyed.
Welcome to The Bell Tree Poetry Contest!! (Also known as TBTPC) I, Terry16389, want to give TBT a very warm congrats on the 100,000 posts. To commemorate this joyus event, I have brought TBT this contest, which may bring people joy, sorrrow, confusion, and sheer hysterics. With that, I give you TBTPC.


<big><big><big>Rules:</big></big></big><big><big>
1. All Admin Rules apply.
2. No spam (obviously).
3. No flaming (obviously).
4. Absolutley no poems with explicit content will be accepted.
5. There are no rules against the format of the poem, thus every type of poem is allowed.
6. Do not submit Fan-fics. This is for poems only.
7. Have fun!

<big><big><big>Suggustions:</big></big></big><big><big>
I have come up with a simple list of suggustions to help out first time poets.
1. Keep your topic clear, you don't want your readers getting confused.
2. Never, ever, get off topic. It will cause your poem to get a low score.
3. Try to not stray into poems about games and stuff. Sure, a poem about a game every now and then is fine, but I'd prefer to not have to go through 50 million poems about AC:WW.
4. DETAIL! You have to include detail, but DO NOT make one stanza 20 lines long giving detail. Give detail, but only enough to get your point across.
5. Spelling and Grammar are a must! Poems with bad spelling/grammar shall recieve, in turn, bad scores.
6. Repitition is good. Especially if you're on a topic that makes repitition all the better.
7. Try not to use bad english. A thee or thou here and there is okay, of course.

<big><big><big>REWARDS:</big></big></big><big><big>

From my house, in which I live,
To the river, and the fish it gives.
From the forest, where bugs thrive,
To the houses, where animals live their lives.
Flowers, everywhere, blooming bright,
Stars shining through the night.
Where is this, the place I speak?
It is fair Lithimus, a town unique.
 
Walking through the morning town, where the dew is still on the grass,
The celebrations are over now, the people are asleep,
I wander on, nowhere to go, aimlessly around,
I find somewhere to eat and drink, on the river bank.

Along the riverside, atop the bank, i see a fish,
One sliding speck of silver, through the water like a torpedo,
Under the bridges, beside the silt, it flies past water and foam,
The gentle lapping waves, against the morning rock.

It's midday now, i've been out for many an hour, laying by the riverside, watching for the fish,
The trees block the sun out, from underneath I stare, the brids have awakenend,
And fluttering calmly, in the Spring Sun, they come out to fly,
The blackbirds and the Robins, The Woodpeckers amongst the trees, the finches and thrushes in the golden green leaves.

The sun begins to set, as I head back home, no fish are around and neither birds,
And the celebrations begin again. It Springtime, It's Springtime! They chant,
And i want to join in! I go over and spend the night awake.

Now it's dawn again, the dew still on the grass, but i'm not there walking,
I'm asleep in my bed, the warmth is creeping over me, the sun starts to rise, I get out of bed. I stand at my window thinking, looking at the garden birds, the fish in the river, the bugs on the ground, and i think, i think,
What a great time Springtime is!
 
The Story of WiFi


Before I used it at the library
who had just connected!
I finally got a connection!
But was a bit dejected
because no one responded to my thread
to come to my town!

Finally a kind user!
DS_MARKER, not a hacking abuser!
He came to my town, and bought an orange cone
That upgraded my store!
So now I can color my hair chrome!

I just discovered recently:
I have Wifi in my house
and have no idea why!

I stole it from my neighbors
I'm getting it for free
Though the connection works less then perfectly!
I have traveled abroad in AC,

And raced in Mario Kart
And I discovered, that they simply have beat me!
I am poor in Wifi,
With very little skills
Compared to other players
Who are old enough to pay bills!

This is the story of my journeys in WiFis!
I hope you enjoy these rhymes!
Please make these lyrics win the lovely prize!
 
I'll enter I guess...this is an old one

There are many ways to live life
Procastinate, Shallowly
Rebeling, or religously
but whether its the right way
is still undecided
some waste thier lives
trying to figure out that way
some say
God will show the way
some say
the American way
some say
its not important
trying to figure the right way to live life
as long as you are happy
as long as you are content
as long as you are feel and breath the fresh air
you will live life your way
not the other's life
because if youchoose to live your live
then you are living just right
 
Irony

My town is called Asgard
An idyllic paradise
Named for Norse Mythology

My house is cutely decorated with Snowman
Though I long to have the worth
of Gulliver's Travels inside my abode
The items that I had in Gamecube, by the drove!

Thy lovely Mermaid Statue from Denmark!
The pagoda from the reaches of Japan!
And though it's a collectors item
The Metroid I don't want!
Who would want an icky monster staring at them so blunt!

My sister has the second floor
She is in love with Japan
Her house reflects that interest
With bonsais, swords, and bows!

Our styles greatly differ.
She the Japanese Geisha,
Myself the Goddess of Asgard.

Two seperate beings.
Joined by blood,
Living in the same town!

Friends I have many,
she has none!
Due to her not being on forums!
Where I have just begun!

The Golden Slingshot I have.
She does not! I have hogged the presents from the sky!
Her slingshot left to rot!

Asgard is a peaceful town.
Though our house is small
We have much to offer!
So come to Asgard one day.

You will see!
Our collections: complete they will be!
Thou shalt wonder at the feat.

Hacked we have not.
Taking our lives by the day.
Special Visitors come,
and then we always play!

This is the tale of Asgard
My, no OUR lovely town.
Come visit one day! We'll always be around!

<big><big><big><big><big>HUGS</big></big></big></big></big><big><big>

It's wonderous what a hug can do, a can cheer you when your blue. A hug can say"I love you so"or,"Gee! hate to see you go. a Hug is,"Welcone back again."

A hug can soothe a small child's pain and bring a rainbow after rain. The hug! there's just no doubt about it, we scarcely could survive without it. A hug delights and warms and charms, it must be why god gave us arms.

Hugs are great for fathers and mothers, sweet for sisters, sweel for brothers, and chances are some favorite aunts love them more than potted plants. Kittens crave them. Puppies love them, break the language barrier, and make the dullest day seem merrier. No need to fret about the store of 'em, the more you give, the more there are of 'em

So stretch those arms without delay and give someone a hug today.
