I'm letting you see this because I don't plan on entering it into the contest.

(It starts out alright and then degenerates as it goes on)

I've no title for this. (Did I mention that it sucks? Or that it's really pretentious sounding?)

Dawn breaks across the deathly halls
Of Time, and there upon the floor
The story of the world enthralls
All those who venture through the door

It guards the entrance eternal
And casts on us a sleeping spell

We listen to the dreams of old
And ask of naught we are not told
The hist'ry of the Earth goes by
While inside untouched courts we lie

A single stasis outside life
Is where we make our humble home
We know not happiness nor strife
And never seek to leave or roam

The marbled walls so long ago
Were wholly felled by one great blow
Yet here they stand, now sound once more
And kings within them gently snore

We know the night waifs in the skies
That are but stars in others' eyes

We watch the sun and drowsy moon
And bide our time and wait and sleep
For man's last breath, to us comes soon
Then, shall we rise up from our keep

Note: Alternative last line is "Then, shall we rise up from the deep"

I might as well let you know that I have no idea what exactly this is about.

P.S.: Some budgie forum I forgot I joined has gone Christian. The creator or something sent out a long email (that ended up in my Spam folder) detailing how "the budgies have been speaking about God!" This pisses me off. It's so full of religious crap and I can't even unsubscribe myself or delete my forum account...

It's ok. Don't worry so much about explaining that you think it sucks, do you think any of us could write poetry any better?

"I might as well let you know that I have no idea what exactly this is about."
Me neither! But poetry is just writing whatever the hell you want and making it sound nice, who cares if it makes sense.

The budgies have been speaking about God? I'm sorry, I believe that's my fault. I put an Easter pamphlet at the bottom of mine's cage, and she must have read it or something...
