Is it a bad idea to run an unofficial contest while official polling is going on? Probably, but I see no other reason to not do this.
So, your duty, should you choose to participate, is to write up to three poems of your choosing. You can make any kind of poem, but one rule of the contest is that you must prefix each of your poems with the type of poem it is.
Example wrote:
Here is my poem, folks! I hope you enjoy it.
Haiku
This is a poem.
You can tell just by looking!
I hope it is good...
Here is one list of various poem types. My search for potential lists was not very extensive, as I believe this one is adequate for our purposes.
If you win, well, good job. I only have two mod points in my possession at this time, so I could give the winner a shiny rank point. You will also likely win more respect from other forumites if you win.
EDIT: I really did not think of a time limit before starting the contest. So, the time limit shall be inversely proportional to the number of players playing. To a rough degree, of course.
Get your creativity up and get cracking!
