Hey folks,
In the interest of stirring up some activity of our members I've decided to start semi-regular contests here in the forum. The best part of these contests is that there will be prizes for all of the contests. The prize for this first contest is going to be a pair of plastic figurines from Ghost in the Shell that came straight from Japan to my house.
What do you have to do to win this prize you ask?
Simple. All you have to do is write a poem about anime and post it in this thread before noon Eastern Standard Time on Thursday the 22nd. Then, all entries will be judged and a winner will be announced. Following that announcement will be another announcement for the second official Import-Anime Contest. If these contests go well I would expect future prizes to include DVDs from the store along with other toys and anime related junk... er treasures that I've accumulated over the years.
To get the ball rolling, I've written a little lymeric. Feel free to write Haiku's, lymerics, Burmashave, iambic pentameter or any other poetic style that tickles your fancy (if you can pull off iambic pentameter then you've got a leg up on other entrants). Enter as often as you like just make sure your entries are original.
Let the games begin!
There once was a man from Nepean
Who had some anime worth seein?
He announced with a hop
As he set up his shop
There?s no better forum to be in.
Gullible isn't in the dictionary.

Lain Poem
There once was a girl named Lain
Who everyone thought was insane
the world she sought
wasn't as real as she'd thought
so she just went back to her brain

Anime and me
O anime how I love you so
You can take me to deserts or even to snow
I can watch blood shed
or people getting hit in the head
There are heros
who are usually the focus of many shows
but that is just the start
anime can make you feel with your heart
look at grave of the fireflies
a true anime that will make you cry
for a true horror classic there is vampire hunter d
just watch it now and you too will see
another example of a great anime
that can be watched in december or may
regardless of the time or season
loving anime never requires a reason
so with great things of anime said
I depart now and go to bed.

Detective Ragnarok
Magic and spells they whirl
Time and space will twirl
But life is more than that
My soul searches for truth
It's all negative stimulus

Another Detective Ragnarok
Wizardry are all the same
But I can offer you more
The things I do will sore
My word I give in my name
The spells I cast are unique
Best is the results I get
My enemies wish they never met
In my sight they are all meek
Oh! my colleagues have zeal
I respect them hundred fold
Take care of them my God told
Yes! this life is all so real

About anime
Anime is all so great
Life without it is lame
Anime is better than games
How did I get into this bait
Yet I won't let go
drawn characters is the way
but reality is not here in the day
Though fun and laughter sow
Boys and girls get along
Funny though girls are more dominant
I worship the animator's delineate
So to the opening and closing song

Three haiku
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Happy tears wet cheeks
From nose, a river of blood
Panties have been seen.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Awake demons are
Extra phalli teacher has
Keep schoolgirls away
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Women kids and pets
On a space ship have no place
Spike is a softy

How can i measure
my love for anime
So great it is
indescribable would it be
mere thought of it
makes my brain ache
and makes me convulse
with glee
and though i have
my fair share of dvds
i want more
is that wrong of me
how can i
justify
all the money long spent
when kids starve in
third world contries unbeknownst to me
oh well they're with
jesus now!

Kenshin, Spike, and Vash agree
Shinji has poor pedigree --
Guts ain’t bad and Kyo’s a trip,
though pixellated in the rip.
Nunki’s cool, the Elrics rate --
on heroes, there is no debate.
Only chicks blow the consensus,
making Spike wax contentious --
the odd man out who doesn’t pine
to wine and dine Faye Valentine.
(Embarrassing; but I think these contests are a great idea.)
