    when is the deadline? all poems here are so wonderful that they inspire bears to participate... but bears will be unable to for another two weeks

    Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)
    When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)

    bears are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Winters a bitch
    She bites, she hurts. she rips out your life
    You daren’t look her full in the face as you know
    She will whip at your face with her
    Velvetine claws
    You huddle inside
    Cold to the bone
    She’s vicious she is evil with no conscious thought
    Each one of her breathes is a shard to the skin
    Your lips are frozen into a corpse like grin
    As you brave the full force of her wrath
    She is darkness she is despair she is all that is bad
    In times you think she will thaw out a bit
    But she fights back and she hurts all in her path
    The old and the young are her first easy prey
    But you know she is coming for you
    You suffer in silent despair
    Not knowing that all the world is in black
    You think you’re alone and its you that she hates
    But she hates everyone and would kill in a stroke
    As you sit in pitch black not daring to breath
    You know she is at the door waiting

    Well, clearly the deadline should be whenever bears can submit one.

    next time there's a contest, then, bears will try to submit first, declare it the deadline, and become winners by default!

    *contest begins when bear creates thread and posts the first poem in his starter post and then closes the thread because he was the ONLY one to meet the deadline and thus won*

    I left the deadline vague due to our varying climates.

    I think I stated "sometime in March."

    As always, I will give warning before ending the contest. I will also hear reason for extension.

    I wish for as many entries as possible.

    Thank you, Jon. It went through several iterations before it settled into it's final form. I had to keep reading it to myself to get the meter down correctly. It was there, it just took me a while to find it.

    And that is why I refer to a poem as a "work."

    bears are so sorry they haven't been able to participate this time! they will look forward to the next contest

    Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)
    When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)

    bears are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
