Thanks for your entry, AEMelia.

Including the title qualifies it by minimum word count.

Best regards.

Yours sincerely

Four Letter Words

This poem will open your mind
Look into your soul, open void will thou find?

What thou seek, soon will show
Love, hate?
Only thou will know

This land will soon rust
Time will turn your body into dust

When Birds Fall From Blue Skies

 

Make love your home;  
base life with acts  
that will keep whom  
we’ll meet from harm,  
 
that dark runs amok;  
just wait, don’t make  
this rule your fate.  
 
That life will live  
four ways, five days  
each spell will wage;  
with hawk reap  
came wolf howl,  
then wind blew.  
  
Cold rain, then snow  
goes blue when bird,  
this pawn, thus flew,  
knew such pain from  
ages long gone.  
 
Turn page, with sage  
word that sets fire,  
alas, ally amid, runs  
like ants gone home.  
   
This can’t help; that said,  
fury fills mind, hard fist.  
Beat your self upon  
cold dead prey.  
 
What else will they hunt?  
 What does that  
earn this your life?  
 
Turn away,  
walk away calm,  
look anon:  
what isn’t ours  
this time when they fall.

WTF (Written to Fours)

This show will sure take much keen wits,
Thus slow pace will make such mean hits,
Find fine kind inks that this mind maps,
Like long line idle talk poem raps,
Seek hope that will come thru with four,
Hard bold text must flow calm then soar.

Hear them slur then play with good word,
Can’t cuss? Well then just flip this bird,
This form will feel like real hawk ward,
Let’s face this mess then pull such cord,
Here this poem will come unto good ends,
Like some chop test puts down your pens.

Wow, wallyroo92

I'd swear you were swearing in a titular manner but that hasty confusion has a tasty conclusion!

Your crafty manipulation of four-letter words definitely qualifies for this competition.

Thanks for participating.

Let me rectify an oversight in my initial response to your submission, AMElia:

"Thanks for your entry, AEMelia.

Including the title would qualify it by minimum word count as much as upgrading any word that falls short of its letter count would more fully align it with the stated criteria.

Best regards.

Yours sincerely

Hi, J-P

I acknowledge your resubmission.  It's not a clean slate but your slate is clean -- of all errors.

Thanks for your graciousness.  In a world void of perfection, it is our efforts and sacrifices toward rectifying ourselves that count for excellence.

Yours sincerely

Congratulations, Bluelulu for an excellent example of a four-letter word fun poem!  We had many such, not least of all those submitted by RUNNERS-UP you, wallyroo92 and you, Jade-Pandora.

Thanks to you for taking this to such a high.  To all the bubblers -- everyone else who entered --  who could not be accommodated on such a small podium, thanks for subscribing and participating.  Without the challenge you brought, there would have been no hurdle to the trophy.

Thanks, Admin, and all who tested the entries by that critical vote.

Why doesn't everyone now go and try out for my Christmas Tricube Thriller? - https://deepundergroundpoetry.com/forum/competitions/read/11160/
