Our Poet Lauerate of SLÜGS

The winner of the poets-only SLÜGS lottery has been decided: Wizard Lizard, who entered using this fine sizain, meant to evoke the tapering form of a shell:

Crawling along my skin
Cool through the summer breeze
Both naked we begin
To jerk and shake and sleaze
You provide all I need
With your slimy slick tail

Your mantle is hard
The tail underneath
I crave and reguard
I will be your sheath
If you show me how
(I can't really tell)

What's that you say?
Hermaphrodite?
I love risqué
And you can bite

What are you
doing to me
that hurts too

Please stop
No more

Slügs

The runner up by means of being the second contestant was Skullface Q, who provided "The Worm Quest":

I cant walk if my legs are cut
Cant say why the king eats mud.

For every footprint, a trail of death.
For every spell, a loss of breath.

Nothing chains me to daylight, as i see my life drains under this moonlight.
Screwed demon, filthy slut

Come here to try my steel and win a copy of slugs.

Although I had only but one prize to give I thank you both equally for participating! SLÜGS may have touched all of us, but SLÜGS should truly touch you both the most of all.

Pöems for SLÜGS

I managed to get ahold of two copies of SLÜGS today.

While no person needs two copies of SLÜGS, all persons should have at least one copy of SLÜGS. For this reason I am going to give away a copy of SLÜGS, by lottery.

Entrance to this lottery will be open until the 26th of June, 12:01AM PST. A winner will then be selected at random and I will mail this winner their copy of SLÜGS for free, once they provide me with an address. That’s right, I'll pay for shipping. If I didn't this would just be shopping, wouldn’t it?

The Rules of the Lottery:This lottery will be open only to those who honor the SLÜGS of SLÜGS through the noble and refined art of pöetry, and the creation of a pöem.

To enter yourself in this lottery demonstrate your ability as a pöet of SLÜGS in the comments below. In this comment give the title of your pöem, it’s rhyme scheme, and most importantly the text of the pöem itself. Make sure that your comment (or the account attached to it) has a way for me to get ahold of you in case you are chosen by the fickle hand of fate as the winner.

A SLÜGS Sönnet is the standard form for a pöem, but any correctly executed SLÜGS Sëstinas will be accepted, and also likely honored and admired all through the hallowed halls of the OSR. Furthermore, Simple Häiku will not qualify, but Hän-käsen will be sufficient. An Öde or a Ghäzäl would also be perfectly acceptable. Off rhymes and clever umlauts are also acceptable when creating a pöem.

I'll update this pöst once the winner is chosen. Now, off to your pöetry chambers!
