It's my birthday today, and I decided for it I would do a poetry contest. You can enter any kind of poem you want, just try to make it at least five lines, proper grammar is required, unless you want to say it as like a hillbilly or something

First prize-fat pack of M14

Second prize- intro deck of your choice, or modern masters pack

Third prize- pack of your choice

Also, if people want to send there own prizes to the winners they can

Birdbrain

Posting it here is fine

I forgot about haiku's...ok. Haiku's are the exception

Here my entry:

Mechanical Failure

The clock hands twirl and signify the slow dance of submission. 
And I synchronize my movements as time dares me to intervene.
But me feet pace in this infinite circle and dizziness clouds my judgment and direction.
For every crossroad found feels like the same one from before because I can't remember the journey or the choice of my destination

Every breath I take is cloudy and full of ice
Is it the temperature outside or in?
My life is full of mistakes and vice
Is it the temperament inside or out?

So now ill swallow this potent mixture of pride and oil spill
To wash away the grime and corrosion of all my slowing gears
And as I succumb to mechanical failure, the weight of gravity becomes apparent
For I am a lesser metal, bent and shaped to the will of the world, and it spins at a speed so rapid that the only form of safety is the act of acquiescing

These robotic intentions come so naturally
These robotic intentions come so naturally

Birdbrain

I forgot to mention the contest is going to be judged by a bunch of mods to determine the top three or four, and then the community will vote
