Here are the submissions for the Poetry category. Please vote for your favorite one.
And bear in mind, anonymity is still required here. Authors of any works below may not declare what submission may be theirs, or in any other way ruin the anonymity of theirs or another member's submission. Those found to be doing so here or anywhere else will be rightly and sneakily punished (You were warned when you submitted to this competition that if you screw up you will be publicly flogged and embarrassed). The thread is for discussion of the articles at hand and voting, NOTHING ELSE.
One other note: Non fiction and the Themed categories did no receive enough submissions to stand in this contest alone, so the few entries into those categories have been combined here or in long fiction.
The Lament of the Arm-Chair General - Entry 1
The Way of The Sword - Entry 2
The Song of the Celedhil- Entry 3
Bushido: A Dead Mans Tale -Entry 4
Rain - Entry 5
