Romance is hard, poetry is harder - VALENTINE'S DAY COMPETITION

[popsprocket]

COMPETITION IS NOW CLOSED

It's February, and that means Valentine's Day is in just a few weeks. To celebrate, WF is holding a small competition over on our Facebook and Twitter pages. The competition is simple. Head on over to your choice of social media time-burning website and either write on our Facebook wall or tweet at us (@WritingForums) your best four-line 'roses are red' poem. Be romantic or funny or cynical or creepy or whatever you like. So long as it's four lines long and begins with the word 'Roses' the entry will be valid.

The day after Valentine's Day, when we're all nursing mild contempt toward fake occasions that are just excuses to get consumers to buy things and who even cares about Valentine's Day anyway!? The day after Valentine's Day, the best poems will be chosen and the winners will each receive 1 month subscription to the forum!

Because who needs a VD date when you have a heart-melting forum like this one. Nawww. That was sweet.

Terms and Conditions:

1. One entry per person
2. Entries will be recorded by the Media Team as soon as possible after being received, any editing must therefore be done before they are recorded
3. Those entering a poem into the competition agree that WF may share the work on our social media pages and/or include it in our monthly newsletter
4. Winners will be chosen by the Media Team based on merit and not by chance
5. Entries close at 00:00 EST on February 15, 2015, with prizes being drawn later that day

Roses are dead
Violence is due
Run all you like
I'm coming for you!

[Schrody]

Roses are red
I'm spying on you
I'm the shadow on your wall
My love is true

[Kevin]

Roses are red
You threw your shoe
I just laughed harder
Your face was so red

[mrmustard615]

Roses are purple
Violets are blue
Bananas are yellow
But my dog has fleas

[Boofy]

Roses cause dread,
Violets do too,
I'm allergic to pretty things,
And just look at... at- achoo!

[am_hammy]

Roses are turquoise,
Violets are tan,
I slip away fast boys,
Try and love me if you can.




Brief question though, we can put the poem here as well as the social media correct? Just want to make sure because I already did but I don't know if I need to specify who I am on the social media. Or is this considered my proof to match for the social media aspect of the contest?

[Jeko]

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Our love is like a poem
Which doesn't work.

That one isn't actually mine, but it's the best I've ever heard.

You guys crack me up , but seriously you have to post it on our Facebook or Twitter pages for it to be an entry!

You can post it here as well if you like. Either way I was going to be contacting people and asking them for their forum screen names once winners were chosen.

Roses are red
I am blue
the worst mistake I've made
was when I said "I do"
