SummerFaire Vanguard Lowku Poetry Contest! - FORUM

In honor of mighty low-quaciousness of our guildkin Lowrenzo, the Vanguard is sponsoring:
A SummerFaire Lowku Poetry Contest! - Forum version.

Contest starts July 17th and lasts through the end of SummerFaire on July 21st, 2018

Lowku follows these writing rules:

1. Written in three (3) lines.
1st line - five syllables
2nd line - seven syllables
3rd line - five syllables

2. Spelling and grammar preferred.

3. Pirate speak acceptable, but must be marginally understandable.
How else are we gonna understand ya ta give you a prize?

Characteristics of Lowku
> A focus on all things roguish (open to interpretation)
> A "moody word" such as "Humph!" that tells the reader how the writer is feeling.
> A division or disagreement somewhere in the poem, which focuses first on one thing, then another.
> Describe the details of a scene that causes a feeling or emotion, but under no circumstances admit to how "it" makes you actually feel.
> Ignore any and all rules and do whatever you want!

Sample Lowku:
me mug be Empty,
me belt pouch be full of rocks,
Duckbill be Pesky!

------------------------------------------------
Forum Contest RULES:
* You may enter as many Lowku poems as you like, however only one will be chosen randomly for judging.
(roll of the bones)
* The Contest will end when SummerFaire Ends.
* All who enter will receive a prize.
* Grand Prize for best Lowku: 2000 Plat
* Vanguard Guild Members can participate.
