Now is the winter of our discontent. Hopefully we can channel some angst into poetic brilliance.
The Theme
There is none. Choose whatever theme you like so long as it is at least somewhat related to Lizardmen, Seraphon, Salamanders or Saurian Ancients.

There is an unofficial theme to make this winter and/or Huanchi focused, but that is a recommendation, not a requirement.

The Rules
There are none. (Apart from the following)(So in actual fact there are some rules, I lied to you, I am sorry)

-Keep your poem to an artistic minimum. Word count wont be stressed about too much in here, but ideally the poem should be more than two lines.
-Keep it anonymous. Don't use your own name in the poem or use someone else's name throw them off the scent
-Keep Lizardmen in the story or some aspect of their world / lore.
-Keep visuals and images to a minimum or none at all this is a poetry competition.
-Keep em coming
-Multiple entries are allowed from the same person!
(limit of three per person though just for sanity's sake)
-Submission deadline is January 1st midnight US Central time. To submit, please send a private message to me, Scalenex.

The next poetry contest will be near this Summer

Oh well, one will never know if will be kissed by an inspirational muse.
 
Hopefully something springs to mind.

As per my usual op basis, I'll try to do a serious one and a funny one if I can.
 
I have twice as many poems the last time I posted on this thread...

We have a very severe shortage of poems. What is keeping you. Last year, I was buried in poem entries.
 
Is this your acknowledgement of my poem above?

No, if I did the number would be 3.000000001.

Anyway, you didn't submit your poem through private message like the instruction said and it did not mention Lizardmen in anyway.

It was not a submission, nor meant to be. It was specifically written for you, to tide you over and to see you through your poetry famine. In your time of greatest need, it was the NIGHTBRINGER that reached out to shield you from the darkness (ironic, given the name).

and it did not mention Lizardmen in anyway.
You are incorrect!!

Scalenex is clearly a Lizardmen character, as evidenced by...

I have three poems? Do you want me to run the contest with three poems or extend the submission deadline?

If extending the deadline means that there will be more poems... but I am not sure it will :(

Grrr, Imrahil
 
I will extend the deadline to New Years Day. If we don't get more poems. I will post the three we have and will probably suspend future poetry contests :(
