Carp posted a poetry contest about the Bardfinn in /r/Drama, which was fun until it got jannied, so I want to host another one here. English only (Latin allowed if you're feeling quirky), but it has to be related rDrama. If it's the type of thing to get posted here, it's allowed. It'll close tomorrow, Monday 6/11, at 21:00 PDT so get it in by then. Reward and what determines the winner is, we'll see... trans lives matter

There once was a bard named Steve,

Whose family had threatened to leave.

After beating his wife,

He took out a knife

And now he must sit when he pees.

I call it The Odyssey.

Based on a true story.

β€”β€”

Deep in my slumber

I had an ill-advised wonder

How fricking @schizocel would feel.

β€”β€”

With one repeat motion,

And more friction that lotion

I imagine her starting to kneel.

β€”β€”

But then things go sideways

And I’m lost in a head haze

As my vision starts to dim.

β€”β€”

I go limp in my hand

As I stare β€˜cross the sands

Of this desert of disparate limbs.

β€”β€”

β€œWhat is the place?”

Naked fear on my face,

As I search for any reprieve.

β€”β€”

But the horizon extends

With more horrors than ends

And I’m foolish to think I could leave.

β€”β€”

It takes over three years

And ten million new fears

Before my mind is wretched free.

β€”β€”

I’m back in my bed

Filled naught with dread,

Scarred by the visions I see.
