1) Screen Name: [Deg]
Poem: Welcome, Elfpacker, to the Giffie-Pet store!
We have fuzzy-wuzzies and creepy-crawlies galore--
Pets that crawl and some that soar!
This is a special place filled with magic and lore,
All bets are off when you walk through our door!
So come on in and have a look around,
You can even adopt from our Giffie-Pet Pound.
Just keep in mind that you can only choose one!
Make your choice wisely and when you're all done,
You'll have a special friend to show off to everyone!
Word Count: 90





2) Screen Name: [Flisky]

Poem: A cat, a dog, a rodent too,
In green and red and even blue,
Find the one that's right for you.

Maybe you want a bird of red,
Or maybe a Llama with a brown head,
Just make sure you keep them fed.

Don't see what you're looking for,
Then go ahead and look some more,
Here at Giffie-Pet Store.

Word Count: 61





3)[Product of a Primal Urge]

Who doesn't like to romp and play
In a field or in a bay?
But friendless you'll no longer go
With a Giffie-pet to show
Atop your page and pick the name
Any name, from cool to lame.
Two legs, four legs, or none at all
Perhaps some wings and you'll have a ball.

W/C- 54




4) Screen Name: [Saffron]

Are you lonely friend?

Does your pain seem to have no end?

Well fear not for there is the Giffie-Pet Store

It's exactly the place that you are looking for

So rush right in and pick your pet

You won’t even have to take it to the vet

Once your home watch them play

Soon you will start to have a better day

They have charm, wit, and are pretty too

With rare breeds not seen at the zoo

Then come night fall tuck them in

and fall asleep with a satisfied grin

5) Screen Name: [Saffron]

There once was a cute red fox

Who got stuck in a big fat box

He scratched and clawed to find a way out

With no luck he soon began to pout

Then along came a Zombie

Who went chompy chompy

And that was the end of the cute little fox

Leaving behind a very red box

Word Count: 57





6) Screen Name: [Cerulean Sins]

Oh Giffie Fae so sweet and with
the flow, She brings so many pets
covered in fur, scales, feathers,
and in all different colours
that makes us purr with glee!
So come on down to the Giffe-Store!

Word Count: 38




7) Screen Name: [HeAVenShallBuRN]

If you find your life nothing but a bore
So bad that you fall asleep with a snore
Why not come on by to the giffie pet store!
We have dozens of pets
Ones that don’t even need a vet!
Pets that need lots of love
Yes yes, we might even have a Dove!
So come on by, anytime
Oh my…look at us rhyme!

8)[HeAVenShallBuRN]

Once my life, was a bore.
So I packed my bags
And headed to the giffie-pet store
They have lots of lovely little pets
So I bought one and
went to the Mets
It was a little cute blue puppy
Who looked a wee bit yuppy
Now this little blue creature
Is one of the higest feature
So don’t look so glum
Come on by and pet my chum!

9) [Yudan333]

Hug me,
Squeeze me,
But most of all love me.
Because as a pet I may get grumpy;
If you don't rub my tummy.
Play, roll, jump, squeak;
I enjoy a good game of hide and seek.
Fuzzy, fluffy, scaly, pokey.
Sacred, rare, popular and misunderstood;
We all enjoy a home if you could.
Come get one of us we don't bite;
We promise to give you a loving tender hug.
Don't forget to check out our site;
Please adopt us we'll be snug.

10) [sammie h!]

the Giffie pet store is a place for me
The best ever pets the eye can see.
There is normal house pets
Exotic ones to
And every single one of them
Can be earned by you

2011-08-10 [Stephen]: Please check the spelling and grammar of your entry. I am not going to be a spell-checker. I'll fix small errors, but if your poem is almost impossible to read, then I'll simply delete it.

2011-08-12 [Stephen]: Nice poem. :)

2011-08-12 [Deg]: Haha, thanks. :) I tried. Really hard. For like five minutes. >.> I'm no good at poems but this was too fun to pass up.

2011-08-12 [Stephen]: I like it. ^^

2011-08-12 [Deg]: Well then...thank you. :) I'm glad you do.

2011-08-12 [Stephen]: Nice, [Flisky]! :)

2011-08-24 [Shatureel]: I like them both, nice going.

2011-08-25 [Stephen]: You should submit! ;)

2011-08-27 [Shatureel]: Laughs, I will work on one.

2011-08-27 [Stephen]: <img:img/mood/5_1116262874.jpg>

2011-08-31 [kittykittykitty]: Aww sweet poems :D

2011-08-31 [Deg]: Heh, it's going to be forever until we have ten submissions. :(

2011-08-31 [Stephen]: =(
I know.

2011-08-31 [Deg]: Damnit. I'm going to spread the word.

2011-08-31 [Stephen]: Yay! Another entry. =D

2011-09-01 [Shatureel]: working on mine.

2011-09-01 [Product of a Primal Urge]: Yep, I didn't want Po'Deg to hunt me down!!

2011-09-01 [Deg]: Yes! YES! My threatening worked! Muahahahah!
:D
All evil aside, thanks so much Primal Urge for actually reading/listening to my diary posts, haha!

2011-09-01 [Product of a Primal Urge]: You're welcome :D How've you been?

2011-09-01 [Deg]: Good, good. On vacation with family right now before school starts. :D

2011-09-01 [Product of a Primal Urge]: Ah nice!

2011-09-05 [Deg]: :D yeah! So what have you been up to?

2011-09-06 [Product of a Primal Urge]: School and getting my apartment in order. You?

2011-11-06 [Stephen]: Hahaha.
I like both your submissions, Saffron! :D

2011-11-06 [Saffron]: Thanks!! : )

2011-11-06 [Product of a Primal Urge]: Put the link in my mood, maybe we'll draw just a few more in to finish this up :D

2011-11-06 [Stephen]: That'd be nice, and that's a good idea. I'll put it in my mood, too.

2011-11-06 [HeAVenShallBuRN]: :o I love them

2011-11-07 [Saffron]: I like Ceru's : )

2011-11-07 [Cerulean Sins]: Thanks [Saffron] :) I think your two are awesome! :D

2011-11-07 [Saffron]: Thanks!! Does yours rhyme? I don't think it does?

2011-11-07 [Cerulean Sins]: The last few lines rhyme lol

2011-11-07 [Saffron]: Ahh : )

2011-11-07 [HeAVenShallBuRN]: I don't see the rhyme...cause friend doesn't rhyme with friend >>

2011-11-07 [Stephen]: Add a word count, Jimmy! :P

2011-11-08 [Saffron]: *la shock* You stole my vet Rhyme!!! Tisk tisk!!! *put appreciates the submision* : )

2011-11-08 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Rhyming doesn't technically justify a poem as a poem... Several wonderful poems that have been written don't rhyme...

2011-11-08 [HeAVenShallBuRN]: Does this count as poem donation?

2011-11-08 [Stephen]: Not unless you donate it to either Elfpack Poets or Elfpack Featured Poem -- which you should, to at least Featured Poem.

2011-11-08 [Saffron]: Rhyming doesn't justify a poem, but it is part of the rules. The poem has to rhyme. Thats why the question was asked I imagine.

2011-11-08 [HeAVenShallBuRN]: ^^ *donates*

2011-11-08 [HeAVenShallBuRN]: [Saffron] is right, and no offense to SHelly bear, but friends doesn't rhyme with friends.

2011-11-08 [Stephen]: I suppose I should say something about that, since I'm the contest mod and you guys are rather blatantly pointing it out.

2011-11-08 [Stephen]: @[Cerulean Sins]:

Your poem doesn't rhyme and it does indeed say the poem must rhyme in the rules. Therefore, you should edit your poem to rhyme at least a few times. ^^

2011-11-08 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: No wonder I'm not entering this contest...

I'm sure hundreds of poem writers feel slapped in the face... Rhyming isn't always the most creative thing, nor does it always make sense in a poem.. While I like all the submissions above.. That's one stupid ass rule.

2011-11-08 [HeAVenShallBuRN]: You are correct, Hannah, BUT those are the rules.

2011-11-08 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: No shit sherlock.. I get that. But it could very well be the reason you're getting so few entries. Just pointing it out.

2011-11-08 [Saffron]: We have 8 of 10 o.o 

2011-11-08 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: There are two by yourself (Which I like) And two by Jimmy...

2011-11-08 [Saffron]: Thanks : ) I just rly want the prize that's why i submitted two of them. 

2011-11-08 [Saffron]: Figured a more advertisement piece and a funny zombie one was the key!

2011-11-08 [Stephen]: @[Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]
Try to be less hostile.


Rhyming is part of the theme set in place. The winning entry is going to be listed on the Giffie-Pet page, so it has pretty strict requirements. Which is also why the winner gets so much for winning.

I knew the entries wouldn't come in quickly, which is why there's an entry deadline instead of a date deadline. =P

2011-11-10 [Yudan333]: just put something in really quick since [Cerulean Sins] invited me. um some of it rhymes. I should have done a haiku lol

2011-11-10 [Stephen]: It's nice! :)

2011-11-10 [Product of a Primal Urge]: Damn, that was a quick set of submissions after almost nothing :D Way to go guys!

2011-11-10 [Stephen]: Just one more needed. :)

2011-11-11 [Saffron]: Yeah!!!!! Go team go!!! *cheers*

2011-11-11 [Deg]: 8D
ONLY ONE MORE NEEDED! YES!

Thank you all who submitted a poem, it's great to see some participation! I was getting discouraged that no one was entering and now all of a sudden so many are and it's wonderful. :)

2011-11-11 [Saffron]: : )

2011-11-15 [Saffron]: *snuffles* We still need one more! Who can I torment to make one...hrmm....

2011-11-15 [Stephen]: Torment [Morgoth]. :)

2011-11-23 [Saffron]: TY Sammie!

2011-11-23 [sammie h!]: Its ok, thought I would make it easier for you, so thought of one, now you can close it, ohh happy days lol.

2011-11-23 [Stephen]: @Sammie

Your poem doesn't rhyme. You should change it a little so it rhymes somewhat (or use the same word twice, close enough). I normally wouldn't care, but I made [Cerulean Sins] rewrite hers as well. It also needs a word count.

Please edit the page and fix those two mistakes. [=

2011-11-23 [sammie h!]: me
see

to
you

They both rhyme perfectly well??

2011-11-23 [Stephen]: Oh, I didn't notice that.
Me + see works.

to + you is kind of weird since it skips a line, but it's rhyming enough.


Alright, that's 10 entries. Contest submission period is over! :P

2011-11-23 [Stephen]: I'll get some input about the poems, and then open a vote. =]

2011-11-23 [sammie h!]: Thanks [Stephen] :)

2011-11-23 [Stephen]: You're welcome. :)

2011-11-23 [sammie h!]: I'll make sure it's better next time :)

2011-11-23 [Stephen]: No worries. :3

2011-11-23 [Deg]: Ooooooh my gosh I'm excited. :)

2011-12-03 [Saffron]: Stephen! Your slacking! Hurry up : P *poke poke*

2011-12-03 [Stephen]: I am not slacking! :P

Not all the Giffie-Staff have been active lately, so I'm waiting on 'em. :)

2011-12-03 [sammie h!]: *sings* "Why are we waiting whhy are we waiting whhy are we waiting why why why" lol

2011-12-03 [HeAVenShallBuRN]: WELL Sammie, if you L2read you'd know we're waiting on the Giffie-Staff

2011-12-03 [Saffron]: ha ha ha

2011-12-04 [sammie h!]: I know we are, it was called humor, what it sounds like you have never heard of before *whistles as I walk away from idiotic behavior.

2011-12-04 [sammie h!]: Oh and if you learned to write in English, I would of understood you better. :)

2011-12-04 [Stephen]: You guys are all so adorable. :3

2011-12-04 [sammie h!]: Why thank you [Stephen] for your very welcoming comment :D

2011-12-04 [Stephen]: ;)

2011-12-04 [sammie h!]: <img:zabuN-gif.gif>

2011-12-04 [HeAVenShallBuRN]: :o Sammie does'nt know Wowspeak! lulz And if you continue calling me idiotic, I'm going to blow my chances of being guard and bash the piss out of you, you've been warned

2011-12-05 [Stephen]: xD
Oh jeeze. Let's all play nice. =P

2011-12-05 [Saffron]: o.o I resent that remark....but can't we all just get along?  : (

2011-12-05 [Cerulean Sins]: I love that show! The show I am what I eat! :D It helped me lose some weight, it's such a shame on TV anymore :(

2011-12-05 [HeAVenShallBuRN]: *Snuggles up to [Saffron]*

2011-12-05 [Cerulean Sins]: Jimmy be nice or...I'll tell your mother! XD

2011-12-05 [Saffron]: I love his mother : ) She is so nice

2011-12-05 [Cerulean Sins]: Oh she is! :D I talked to her over Facebook on Jimmy b-day and she is sooo lovely :)

2011-12-05 [HeAVenShallBuRN]: ^^

2011-12-05 [HeAVenShallBuRN]: I WANT MY SHANNON PILLOW NAO!

2011-12-05 [Saffron]: Oh I should face book her too....>.> She will be my mother in law one day. Or so I hope *nudge nudges the James*

2011-12-05 [HeAVenShallBuRN]: *snuggles!* will be one day

2011-12-05 [Saffron]: *hugs tightly* I'm glad *kisses* : )

2011-12-05 [HeAVenShallBuRN]: *kisses back*

2011-12-06 [Stephen]: Oh wow, some wiki-comments seem to have disappeared.
Me and my twitchy fingers. ;)


Srsly though: Play nice. I didn't do any "official" warnings, but don't fight with other members. If you don't like someone, ignore them. It's very, very simple. Playful banter and fun trolling is fantastic, but being an asshole to someone else for any reason is not OK. Next time, I'll take the official actions.

2011-12-06 [HeAVenShallBuRN]: *couchs and refuses to make any comments..to be NICE*

2011-12-06 [Cerulean Sins]: If you can't say ANTHING nice then DON'T say anything at all :)

2011-12-06 [HeAVenShallBuRN]: I never said anything :P

2011-12-06 [Cerulean Sins]: If you can't say or type ANYTHING nice then DON'T say or type anything at all! :D

2011-12-06 [HeAVenShallBuRN]: I didn't type anything till now :P

2011-12-06 [Cerulean Sins]: Jimmy it's 6.04am, I haven't had a smoke yet, not never finished my coffee....so do not push me laddie. Warning one is all yer gonna yet, alright?

2011-12-06 [HeAVenShallBuRN]: *snickers* Love you too Michelle :P

2011-12-06 [Cerulean Sins]: yeah yeah yeah love you too Jimmy :)

2011-12-06 [HeAVenShallBuRN]: :0

2011-12-16 [Deg]: *still waiting patiently? for voting?*

2011-12-16 [HeAVenShallBuRN]: Now's not the best time

2011-12-16 [Saffron]: *makes a petition for Stephen to get busy with poll making*))

2011-12-16 [Deg]: Now's...not the best time for waiting patiently? O.o? :D

2011-12-16 [Deg]: *signs that petition!*

2011-12-16 [HeAVenShallBuRN]: Things are hectic

2011-12-16 [Saffron]: I understand : )  Things need to be level before we do votes. : )

2011-12-16 [Deg]: That's fine, I was just being bored and decided to just let everyone know I'm still waiting haha. I haven't given up!

2011-12-16 [Saffron]: My cats declared me the winner! The votes have been cast! Yeah!!! *cheering meows in the background*

2011-12-16 [Deg]: D: NOOO! My puppy disagrees! hahah!

2011-12-16 [Saffron]: My two cats out vote your puppy!!

2011-12-16 [Deg]: My dog, my puppy, my seven fish, and my two cats unvote your two cats! :D

2011-12-16 [Saffron]: O.o! My 14ish sea monkeys and two cats would like to argue that point! : P

2011-12-16 [Deg]: ...DAMN THOSE SEA MONKEYS! Haha! They are always ganging up on me...

2011-12-16 [Saffron]: Awwww *pats shoulder*

2011-12-16 [HeAVenShallBuRN]: And my two cats too!

2011-12-16 [Saffron]: That's right! My bf's cats also agree : )

2011-12-16 [Deg]: Not fair! I get to choose someone to back me up. Hm...I'll go with my best friend! She has two dogs, two horses, and twelve fish. So my total comes to...35. And yours: 18ish. :D

2011-12-16 [HeAVenShallBuRN]: *cough* I also have a dog

2011-12-16 [Saffron]: If we are choosing I'll pick my dad who has a two tanks which has about 30 fish in one and about 10 in the other......the bf just decided to put in his two cents

2011-12-16 [Deg]: Well my friend also owns a lake, so I could count all those fish too but that would probably be impossible to guess how many are in there haha!

2011-12-16 [Saffron]: Okay now thats just cheating : P

2011-12-16 [Deg]: Right? Haha! But it was a man made lake, so technically...still counts. But I'm not that desperate to win ahah! :D

2011-12-16 [Saffron]: *chuckles* It's only fun anyway : P If we really got into it, we all likely have an infinite amount of links to a bazillion pets. lol

2011-12-16 [Deg]: HAHA! No kidding. Then we'd be pulling in like, just life forms in general. "Oh, but I have ten gallons of algea!"

2011-12-16 [Saffron]: ha ha ha

2011-12-19 [Stephen]: Hm.

I'm torn on how to make the poll.

I can't put the poems IN the poll, so how would I make the poll? Just say like "Saffron's Entry A" or put each one on a wiki page and link to the page in the poll?

2011-12-19 [Deg]: I'd say a wiki for each submission, might be easier for the voters.

2011-12-19 [Deg]: I'd be happy to help, if you decide to go that route. :)

2011-12-19 [Stephen]: :D

2011-12-19 [Saffron]: Well they are are listed on this page. Likely the easist method to do it is have people vote for..."Entry 1"...."Entry 2".....seeing as there are numbers by each on here. All people would need to do is read the submissions and decide which one they like best. : )

2011-12-19 [Deg]: Whatever works. I'm just thinking, if I were voting, what would look most organized/professional/easy. Having a link right in the poll works. Saves some scrolling. Not that it's difficult, but ya know. :) Just an opinion.

2011-12-19 [Saffron]: Whatever makes people happy : )

2011-12-19 [Deg]: Agreed! :]

2011-12-19 [Stephen]: Well, the poll will be on the main page of this contest, not the submission page. So they'd need to go read on this page and then submit to the vote on the main page.

2011-12-19 [Saffron]: Kosher with m e : )

2011-12-19 [Deg]: I see! Then yeah, I'd say wiki pages in the poll. For convenience. If you're slightly ADD like me, you'd appreciate it. However, still doesn't really affect me either way, so do what you think is best!

2011-12-22 [Stephen]: So you guys think I should do poll with poems on wiki pages?

2011-12-22 [sammie h!]: No, its much better on the main page as thats the first page you go to, plus that's what everyones used to. x

2011-12-22 [Deg]: Well, the poll is going to be on the mainpage from what I understand, so...haha. But yes, I think the poll should be on the main page, and the poll should have wiki page links to the poems.

2011-12-23 [sammie h!]: Yeah, thats the better idea. :)

2011-12-23 [Deg]: =D
