Thanks but I'm afraid that I'm not good enough in English!

I stink at English too. It's to bad that is the only language I speak. I say ol’e chap, give it a try!

I'm fluent in 17 languages no, I'm not. I speak Latin, Tempus Fugit, Amo amas amat, cogito ergo sum, veni vidi vici

LOL, and I can count to ten in 7 languages:
English
Spanish
French
Italian
German
Latin
Hebrew

And I am good with English cuz my mom's a grammar freak

lol

"cuz" she's a grammar freak huh?

I said grammar, not spelling

(c'mon more people enter, plz)

My first Tanka (it's just a tanka version of ode to Lapis)

Lapis you're the best,
Hardest worker no contest,
In peace you shall rest,
A master at everything,
For you I'd do anything.

Tanka #2

Watch them work all day,
Farming, building, healing too,
That's Isola's way,
As a tribe they'll all pull through,
Solve a puzzle shout woohoo

That's an ABABB rhyme scheme.

Tankas and Haiku do not have to rhyme - although its not a bad thing if they do

I'm sure people are working on their poetry

And how are we supposed to compete with you Jazzo!!!!!

Thank you Eyeshigh for this contest I shall have to get my thinking cap on!!!!!

I stink at Haiku
It all just makes me so blue!
But rhymes I do like!
So that is what I've written.

Syllables to count?
I rarely take all the time
to put so much in
to the words I would spin here.

I know, but I like them better when they do I'm just impatient
