Premium MemberLove the Excited Music Contestants

Entering a singing contest would fill me full of woe
I’m not saying singers would mock me as I would go
But I am not a crooner, as every relative doth know
I cannot carry a tune, yet I adore music so….

The Voice and American Idol are my favorite shows
I love the excited contestants and music that flows
Entering a singing contest is not for me in any way
But I love classical music and folk music every single day.

Premium MemberJudges Have Been Selected

Hello, my most esteemed poets,

I am trying an experiment that I believe has not been done here on the PS site. I have posted a new poetry contest called "The Prismatic Self: A Gauntlet of Mirrors within the Arena.".

The JUDGES have now been selected:

1. Lin Lane
2. Ink Empress
3. Duke Beaufort
4. Vanya Evangeline
5. Anne Winter
6. Hiya Sharma
7. Andrea Dietrich
8. Daniel Rodgers

Since only one person can view the contest, all contestants' submissions will be distributed between the group for input and ratings. When the contest is complete and we have the final list of winners, we will have personal insights from all the judges for each winner and all honorable mentions. 

Thank you for your time and patience

Blessings, 
Daniel

Wrestling

Two people of equal weight
Strong muscles straining
Both suddenly subdued with spiteful hate
Hand and buzzer the winner ordaining

In truth the real sport
Is the judging of the referee
Here the fighters are in his court
And he moves like a boat across the sea

The fact is that he moves across the ring
Slithering and crawling
All waiting for the finial ding
Or the contestants still and sprawling

Striped shirt with logos on either sleeve
Sponsorship like the fighters in the match
Except his own body does he heave
And both rule breakers and winners does he catch

Sometimes moving on head and toes
So he can spot the smallest changes
All to see the joys and woes
And anger’s varied verbal ranges

So, put simply, this is his domain
With the expert eye of a professional chef
He goes through the most entertaining strain
Enjoy watching the ref

presidential races


Well, the morons are in the race

A little behind but their keeping pace

Running at a close last

I see its the idiots they finally passed

don’t pull your bets: its not over yet

I see the imbeciles sneaking up on the left

Well the out comes unsure of a race finally won

But of the five judges only three have their thumbs

We look to the other judges in the show

Both of them quibbling so I don’t think they know

Now to the contestants to get their thoughts

Who really won and what was the cost?

The moron explains that the sweat their eyes

Prevented them from seeing, but know the judges don’t lie

While the idiot is sprawled-out on the ground

Their number 1 finger never went down

The imbeciles' eyes were lit by his grin

Their only comment was “so I really did win”

Premium MemberWinner Winner Chicken Dinner

Nursery Rhymes Only Contest - sponsored by Eve Roper

To Eve’s winning contestants, I write this poem for you.
I have read each one and commented till I am blue.

You won’t see them there however.
I’ve been getting an error forever.

Your nursery rhymes are clever, cute, unique, and precious.
It is the comment fields that are the most treacherous.
So know I have read and do wish you congrats!
My non-existent comments will skew your stats.

It’s “Error!” “Error!” “Error!”
I am a “System 500” starer.
Where is that IT repairer?

Should I cross my fingers or say a prayer?

Premium MemberLets Rhyme

“Who knows what rhymes lurk in the minds of men?! 
The Shadow knows!”
 
“Let’s rhyme”, said Shadow. Off it goes! 
The challenge’s up for PS pros.
The number of contestants grows,
The cascade of mono-rhyme flows,
Poetic quills dart tos and fros,
Words gush forth freely and verbose, 
The brains revolve, open then close, 
Randomly shut down for repose. 
If lack of rhyming talent shows 
Then ready Rhymezone surely knows. 
(If it has nothing to propose
Poor poet’s alter ego blows)

That is how rhyming story glows 
Along with Soupers, I suppose!

Beauty Queens

Near Abu Dhabi, beauty queens
Must have expressive eyes.
Their droopy lips and shapely humps
Might help them earn a prize.

The competition’s very fierce;
Big bucks are the reward.
Contestants, in the thousands,
Strut around, appearing bored.

The winners, wearing necklaces
Designed to look like gold,
Bring honor to their owners
Right before each camel’s sold.

Premium MemberHosting Jeopardy

Jeopardy fans are asking, “What the heck?”
While the producers try to replace Trebek.
I understand they are working harder still,
But, so far, no one has appeared to fit the bill.
How can it be so hard to find a candidate
Who has a modicum of ability to moderate?
When guests are the real stars of the show,
It’s not the host, but what contestants know
They could dub in an A.I. robot, for all I care,
It’s contestants who knock me out of my chair
I will support whomever they ultimately get
Meanwhile I watch re-runs and do not fret!

Premium MemberThe Chasers and Bradley

I'm Mark Labbett, ' The Beast '.
I love a mighty feast.
I feed on fear
And then I cheer,
" With me, the show's complete! "

I'm  ' The Governess ' Anne Hegerty.
A.K.A. " Old Knickers a Frosty ".
I'll watch you wriggle and squirm
While you recall what you've learned...
Let's see who can escape from me!

I'm Jenny, ' The Vixen ' Ryan,
Don't like to send contestants cryin'.
I'm the Bolton lass
Who brings some class
To The Chase. And I'm not lyin'!

I'm Irish. I'm clever. I'm kind.
But beware, I can play with your mind.
My name's Darragh Ennis,
Pet name's  ' The Menace '
Never dreamt I'd be known UK wide.

I'm a doctor, comedian and smart.
I fulfill my roles like an art.
But  ' The Sinnerman's ' face
Is quiz genius on The Chase.
To pick my best moments, where to start?

Never underestimate a lawyer...
I'm also ' The Dark Destroyer '
I'll make your heads spin
With my glorious win
And this will really annoy ya! 

My dear contestants, you are strong.
Don't want to see you put a foot wrong!
If you're on your knees
I'll put you at ease...
I am with you -  " All day long "

Premium MemberBig Points On the Line

Judges get a lot of credit
with the aid of a prompt
they offer motivation
they provide inspiration
and reward dedication

Contestants rush in
to show off their skills
when offered points
high hopes for honors 
of a podium finish

Fight

For what you're waiting?
Are you expecting the failure of all your competeters
So that you can win
Or are you in the thought of a miracle that going to happen is the death of all your co-contestants
No victory is real if you won just because you're the only participant
So never expect everyone to leave the show
Fight with them and raise the cup
Be the fire that burns but give lights to all
