The Competition Executioner

poet Anonymous

Poetry Contest

Be the last to post your poem about an exectioner and WIN
Why not?! Post as much as you want, but writings must be on subject of executions. Any kind of execution you wish to imagine...or even a famous execution of a person (or idea) that is factual.

The last person to post before the clock is killed and the deadline met WINS. That means at least one of the guys here will have to set his alarm to wake himself up from dreams of kissing women in his boxer shorts...just so he can have a chance at grabbing a trophy with the title of "COMPETITION EXECUTIONER".

All poetry submitted will be read by me and I'll try to comment on each, so long as you can handle a wee bit of snark treat (which I sometimes toss.)

One week.


PS If a mod executes this thread, I'm okay with it. I won't die. Just tell me why you end it.

Yes, as ML suggests: the last submission must be a valid entry still relevant to the topic of executioner or execution. Not just a quacky scream resembling, "AXXXXXX WHACKS".

I think you should amend to ask for quality submissions, so the last person to post, doesn't throw in some nonsense gibberish, just to win.  Just a thought ! :)

"Execution" By: Mike Stewart® 2014©

I can imagine the mental wrestle of the executed one there, MI. Leaves one feeling that those who convicted him did not give him much thought in the trial either. Bad defense lawyer too probably. I am sure somewhere in history there is more than one true case of people unfairly put to death. Kudos for making a strong impression with  brevity that feels like sudden death.

I wrote my nonsensical gibberish with invisible digital ink. I reckon you should let me win for being so fuckin' original.

ah yes. I am familiar with that method. I used to work as a layout artist in a plant that made bronze plaques. It's called a rub.
Place paper on inscription of plate and brush thick lead pencil over the letters. the result is an image of the memorial plaque.

Very smooth, your entry John. :)

You better hope DU isn't down at the time the comp is due to end...

Actually, that could be funny.
