The "Freeola Customer Forum" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
I really don’t know why we don’t have one of these in the Life forum, so this is why I’ve decided to create one. For a while now, I’ve being following the SSC and I was hoping to have a go myself – but when I tried to put my thoughts on paper I wasn’t going to happen. Then I decided to make a poem – something I really enjoy, and something that I excelled at in my scholar youth. So hopefully, those creative people who write SSC may want to have a pop at the new and exciting SPC too.
We can use similar rules to the SSC; the winner gets to pick a subject, a closing date and gets to judge the entries – as well as adding their own personals rule, if applicable.
I think 300 words would be enough to compose a decent poem – my Tramp poem may look long, but in actual fact its only about 230 words. But we will have to see about the word limit, expectations may be made. And remember, its not quantity – its quality !
I will try and organize some sort of SPC website – or I’ll talk to Ashman about the situation, seem as he has made a good job of the SSC site – but we will have to see if this takes off first.
So then, onto the Poem!
This Poems topic should be based around a Horse it doesn’t sound like anything exciting, but rest assured if you think about it you could come up with some interesting things – make your own title and post it in this thread. The closing date will be two weeks from Today – The 7th of august giving most people a good chance to get their entries in.
I really do hope that this can catch on, but if it doesn’t then no hard feelings – its just something that I’ve had on my mind for some time. Please give the Short Poem Competition a chance!
===================================================
We have a winner!
I read through them all last night, I couldn’t really decide – because most of them were quite good. Although I think that Paradoxes poem took the biscuit. It wasn’t really about a horse – but he mentioned the word hoarse, I didn’t say it had to be about a horse.
I really liked his rhyming style – although it was short it was defiantly sweet. Like a small chocolate killer cake from Thornton’s. I’d rather have a small cake from there, than a big cake from somewhere like Tesco. Enough of my cake fantasies though.
So I here by crown Paradox the winner, for bringing a smile to my face with his unique poem. If you would, please start a new topic ; Short Poem Competition 2 and explain your set of rules – a closing date – and the topic… And please, try to choose a better topic than I did!
Ok, well I have to go – thanks to everybody who entered. And sorry I’m sorry that judged late ; I hope you can find it in your hoarse heart to forgive me.

Excellent carbon copy of my poem. Bravo Wakka.
Jack - My Horse
You were the best
Better than the rest
You used to run
As if just for fun.
At the start of the race
You used to set the pace,
Beating all, and laughing in their face
You would always finish in first place.
I named you Jack, after my dad
I know he would be proud and glad
When he left us, I was so sad
But I still love him, though I'm mad.
You were the best
Better than the rest
I'll always love you too,
Until you leave me too.

I take it the subject isn’t going down too well.
Well those who still want to enter you have until Saturday :)
You can do a poem that only mentions a horse on the last line if you want - or a poem that is to do with a horse, but not about a horse - for example a cowboy uses a horse...
I'll let you do the thinking, thanks for entering if you have done so already.
EDIT - Spelling Error

Ruud Van Nistlerooy
He is brilliant, he is great
He is the one who we rate.
His hair is as black as coal
But he always scores a goal.
A poacher he may be,
But he is better than me,
And we shall always see
His goals on the T.V.
He might be very 'Ruud'
When he is in the mood,
He might look like a horse,
But he score goals with force.
