You guessed it! An SFGAm Poem Contest--1st Edition/Feb 2004.
Here's the rules: Poem has to be at least 10 to 20 lines in length or more, IT HAS TO RHYME! IT HAS TO MAKE SENSE! No swearing in your poems, no profanity of any kind, no racial slurs or negative comments in your poems.
FAILURE to follow these rules will result in your poem being disqualified from the contest.
The 1st Edition will be open for ONE WEEK, I will choose myself the winner of the contest and four other worthy Judges to judge the competition. All Judges must agree on the winner and/or X amount of judges say player 1 wins, while the other judges left say player 2, in that case the player that has more of the judges vote wins. Winner will also be based upon the votes of other non-competing members. You can vote for yourself, but ONLY once.
Each player is allowed ONE entry per Edition. No editing of your poem is allowed or you will be disqualifed. You may make your poem as facny as you like, you may include ONE picture attacted to the BOTTOM of your poem.
POEM must be SFGAm related, that includes everything SFGAm and what-not.
I went to Six Flags
and Ran to V2
when I got there,
I lost my shoe.
When I got off,
I started to cough.
Knowing what was next,
i tryed to run my best.
but on the way for the can,
i couldnt help but look at the 2003 coaster Superman.
Then i felt better,
and wanted to get wetter.
I headed to Loggers Run.
I sat with a bum.
I sure got wet,
but i couldnt regret.
I thought of a bet
to jump in a net.
Then I saw Viper,
gosh, I got hyper.
what would be next?
RB looks the best!
Giant Drop looks cool,
but so does the Columbia pool.
I had a great day
although I sure payed..
I'll come back tomorrow
and take all the flowers!
*The End* hehe

I disagree with the rhyming part of the requirements. Since when did a poem ever have to rhyme? I would look more for poetice devices instead. (personification, alleteration, imagry, etc...)
This is stupid nobody's going to answer. People like me love six flags but dont right poems. We like the rides not poems.
Then STFU and get out of this thread. I, pearsonally, really look forward to seeing some of your poems.
Is it okay if it's about just one of the rides at SFGAm? Cause I wrote one about Deja Vu a few weeks ago, I was bored. It doesn't rhyme, though, cause I'm no good at rhyming. I personally don't like that rhyming rule. When I write poems and I try to rhyme, it never makes sense.
Shockwave,
You bring a tear to this Dave.
As you sit on the hill,
The bull and white maeks me gill.
1988,
Was the first date.
You satisfied many,
With shorter lines than any.
2002,
was the last year they thought we would think of you,
all mighty and blue,
It will allways be true.
As I come back to reality,
I hope you have fun with your neighbor Mr. Tree.
Along side your new home,
All alone.
I believe,
You won't rest in peace.
For Six Flags is limiting our time together,
If only I can be with you for-ever.
For your legacy may never be forgotten.

We arrive at the park at ten after nine
Near the Hometown Chain, we form a line
"Great America will open in five", says the speaker
Our self control becomes weaker and weaker
The chain drops, from left to right
And we're off! It's a beautiful sight
Some run to the left, to get on the Vu
Some run to the Bull, for a ride in Row 2
Nevertheless, it's always fun
And we cheer because our day has begun.

I agree! Very nice Planea!
Ahhh the wonders of history class. Actually I was published for celebration of young poets a few years back. You can look me up if you have spring 2002-Dvaid Niecestro Thanks for liking it.
Wow! the results so far are impressive! I would also like to say that planea380's SFGAm poem about ole' big Blue brought back some unforgettable memories.
This new 'thing' although not new everywhere else, is really taking off.
And for those people who think this is stupid or whatnot, just IGNORE them! Who cares what they say anyway?

The Wave is gone, there's a new monster in town
Its trains are grey, its track is brown
You don't sit down, no no! You stand up
Don't forget to wear a cup
Out of the station, up the lift hill
You think to yourself "I'm in for a thrill"
Through the first loop, into the turn
No pain, no gain, feel the burn
A couple of bashes, into the the brake run
You say to yourself "Please be done!"
Done? Never. You still have brain cells
A few more turns, they will smack you up well
It's finally over, unlatch your harness
You try to get out of this state of deafness
You begin to walk away from the Wolf of Iron
Yet for some reason, you make a U-turn
Is it possible? You want to ride once more
Of course it is, it's just a ride you adore
