Well, as three people are tied for finalist spots instead of two, I figured we'd have people vote again for their favourite poem. Here are the three poems raring for finalist spots!

The Poems

The Doom of General Discussion
by Kelti


The GD was once a home to many of us;
To us Gaians, we laughed and cussed.
Until one day, the trolls invaded;
Spammed our forum, had a parade.

The mods did little, for they were never on;
But some joined the flamers, and in moments their modship was gone.
The regs tried helping out, but unsuccessful they were;
To try and get their GD back, but did they? No, sir!

Within months the spam got so bad;
The regs couldn't take it anymore; they were more than mad.
So fleeing they did! To never return;
But watch the GD, like Gambino's Mansion, helplessly burn.

Eventually, when the ashes died down;
Some regs came back, with their lips in a frown
To see their GD, no longer glorious with glee;
Because the trolls, spammers, n00bs, made them see

That it wasn't just the trolls that made GD worse
But the regs themselves, made the GD cursed.
Now they found, after the war they fought
The GD is now nothing but naught.

Never again, will the GD be gold
But a shameful place, only entered by the belligerent bold.
The GD is done, gone, never the same
Which is why, my friends, we never again speak its name.


Untitled
by Lyzz the Dark Beast


It's as if the thought of sleep
Has pulled me in so deep.
So now I close my eyes so tight,
Wishing, wishing, every night.

If you see me, if you don't,
Long to see you, wish I won't.
Sleepy eyes so drear and gray,
Tries to push the pain away.

Sleeping silent, sleeping sound,
On the door no-one will pound.
Late is early, night is day,
You can't wish the sun away.

Wish I may, wish I might.
I will lock this pain up tight.
If I see you, if I don't,
Help your day, wishing won't.

If you're here, If you're there,
Wishing won't help anywhere.
Lively eyes so bright and blue,
Not to wish they have no clue.

So go to sleep,
Don't count your sheep.
Lay here now it's that shameful gray,
Don't you wish this pain away.

Ways of Rhythm
by Reeves


I found a boy the other day, sitting on the docks
He had his journal at his side, kept with fourteen locks
Eyes set on the ocean
His body gave no motion
But he sang a melody with rhythm on the rocks

I tried to learn the awkward notes, but nothing could compare
His voice was monstrous in his youth but fragile in his care
Caught in lines that glistened
For the one who listened
He was finding conscience and the rhythm in the air

And the rhythm moved on
To somebody else's song

I walked home in the bitter sun and sat down at my desk
I wrote a song of mischief and I sang it at my best
And the air was silent
No wind growing violent
The boy had woke the rhythm, and I had put it to rest

Later it would move on
To somebody else's song

What if the two people in first place aren't tied, but one's higher than the other? Is the other the winner, or is there still gonna be the improv thingy?

Thanks. ^^

That's the spirit!

And I hope your fingers feel better soon.

I don't want to make you type more than you have to.

Dude, let's hope that we don't tie again.
That'd be not cool.

I'm pretty sure I would laugh hysterically.
