Poems

There were once two bored children. A little boy and his older sister (figuratively). As they pondered what to do, the discussion of the popularity of sappy poem writing came up. It seems that many of their acquaintences have taken up this hobby. (Though I must say, their poems are quite clever, it is rather hard to read them and not laugh until your ribs hurt.) At this, the little boy suggested that they have a contest by writing sappy poems. The rules were set. Round 1: A sappy poem of any topic 4 lines long. The first to finish would win. But first, lets introduce the contestants. (In the descriptions, I find it easier to refer to the poet as 'he' even though it might be a 'she')

Poet A- has a great deal of sappy poem writing talent in his blood. His brother is a developing poet and his best friend is one of the originators of SPW. (This friend was the one who inspired this very contest). Though poet A does not have much experience, he is slowly improving. His last poem, about his love for cs, should win the New Sappy Poet Award of the year.
Poet B- Has no prior experience in SPW. Enjoys laughing at grossly sappy poems of desperate authors. He has written poems before, but they usually concern everyday life.

Round 1 Results:
After ten minutes of furiously thinking, Poet B finally mustered up a poem of considerable sappiness. Poet A also finished his poem at the same time, so it was a draw.

Poet A's Poem-
first light of the morning hand's grasp
a new day is reborn to fulfil man's ultimate purpose.
with every light that reaches the ground
men have seized and conquered the unconqurable
AHH...LIFE IS GOOD

Poet B's Poem-

A little boy with a secret
Unwilling to share with his friend
Could not reveal his true feelings
Before unexpectedly meeting his end

The Second Round's topic was to write a Sappy Love Poem. This time, it would be 3 lines in length and the same rules applied.

Poet A finished at an astonishing speed of a mere 2 minutes:
the way u talk makes me want to know u more
the way u smile makes my day a whole lot brighter
the way u r makes me want to love u even more

Poet B (not used to writing such embaressingly gross poems was stuck for a while.) However he went all out and thought of the sappiest poem on earth. So sappy, it cannot be mentioned here, lest all you readers laugh until your hearts stop beating.

Needless to say, Poet B won round 2 hands down. Poet A's poem should be considered corny, not sappy, for all you who are wondering why.

**Now it is up to YOU to determine whether Poet B will win round one, or Poet A will win it. If the latter does, expect a round 3.
