Can you write bad poetry? Of course you can! I'll bet you have, too. Here's your golden opportunity to put those skills to work once again. This week's contest is to write a poem about a character in the HP universe. Write any sort of poem at all, using any sort of formal structure or rhyme scheme, or none at all, as you prefer. Here's some examples, by yours truly: First, a haiku: Ugh. Draco Malfoy. Evil, unredeemable. I do not like him. And, even worse, this awkward limerick: George Weasley has a twin named Fred. By whom he is usually led. Some people say George must be gay. But I really don't get how they came up with that thread. Think you can do better? (You could hardly do worse.) Get to it! Send me your poems, BY EMAIL of course (to HP4GUCon@aol.com), NOT BY POSTING THEM TO THE LIST! BTW, if you can actually write good poetry, that's even better! I will leave you with JKR's gem about everyone's favorite young wizard: His eyes are as green as a fresh pickled toad. His hair is as dark as a blackboard. I wish he was mine, he's really divine, The hero who conquered the Dark Lord. Additional notes: filks are allowed, and any number of poems may be submitted.
