Good morning, everyone: and happy Monday! I’m akhi. I love poetry, writing, reading, and art in general. I’m going to be judging your poems today and I wish you all the best of luck!

Here’s an example of a poem I wrote that fits the topic, in case any of you are struggling to find inspiration.

You’re different.

I’ve never heard your voice.
You have so much to say, still.
You rise above the noise.

You’re different:
Unique.

I didn’t know much,
And still don’t,
But:
You found a place for me.

You’re different,
So different.

The truth is:
You care.

Not about my weight,
face,
skin,
Or hair:
You care for my grace,
You care for my flair.

You’re there.

You’re different.

I hope to be woo’d by the words you guys put out for this contest. Remember:

The truth will tell itself.

Tried using chatgpt, then read the thread carefully.
So I tried my best, here it is.

Spoiler (Click to View)Hackforums, a place of friends
where my knowledge expends.
Never will nachfolger ascend,
he wil just pretend.
Maybe omni will also comment,
just like it was meant.

Here's my entry, in image and plain text form!:

Plain Text:
Spoiler (Click to View)In the depths of the internet's maze,
There lies a place with many great ways,
A forum where hackers meet and share,
A wealth of knowledge and some incredible flair.

HackForums is the name that they give,
A place where us techies virtually live,
Omniscient is the tog dog here,
A watchful eye, he's always near.

The forum is not just a place to hang,
But also to play a game called Hackúman,
Where we hatch out our eggs and grow our beasts,
Then fight all day and resist defeat.

The currency we use is called "bytes",
Earned through contributions and insights,
You can buy and sell, trade and gain,
A reward system that's not in vain.

If you're interested in the art of the hack,
Or maybe just want to give something back,
HackForums is the place to be,
Where knowledge flows so abundantly.

So come on in and take a peek,
Learn a thing or two, be unique,
And if you're lucky, you might just earn,
An award that's worth your time and concern.

Hack forums hack forums what did you do
Hack forums hack forums what did you do
I spend more time on this forum than any other one
Playing black jack and rolling the dice
Winning and losing
Learning from other members
Hack forums hack forums what did you do

Cuthbert why do you hate weed
Smoke it and your body will be freed
I don’t know anymore rhymes
[mention=5037217] is a literal dime

[Seaking]

You picked my weakness. I suck at doing stuff like this.

What a great contest
This home far from home
Always in my heart

[Vibe]

From the tip of my shift,
to the bottom of my sack,
Vibe’s love for Hackforums,
is truly unmatched.

[MightyOne]

I suck at poems so I will be outside this one.
Thanks for another great one and good luck to all participants! Looking forward to vieweing these

theDuke I think we have a winner no questions asked

My poem to HF or more specifically Stanley ^_^

In the moonlight that shines upon me,

There is also a 70k byte loss that haunts me,

Stanley why do you rob me out of my bytes,

If only we were friends in a green field flying kites,

[theDuke]

Cuthbert why do you hate weed
Smoke it and your body will be freed
I don’t know anymore rhymes
[mention=5037217] is a literal dime

Damn if you gave me a shoutout maybe I’d consider this a valid entry

[LeetSpeed]

Here is my poem:

Hack forums, oh hack forums,
Where hackers come to play,
They post their tricks and tools,
And make us all dismayed.

They'll crack your passwords,
And steal your private files,
But don't worry too much,
It's just their hacker style.

They'll boast about their skills,
And brag about their hacks,
But if you're not careful,
You'll end up on their blacklist.

So be wary of hack forums,
And keep your security tight,
Or else you might just find,
Your website in their sight.

[$läng$Ƶ]

'Oga and Warkah'
thoughtful should be a lustful dragon,
the dragon comes from the inner-heart,
The lush forest of Oga origin is announced again,
eye witness the grave ward,
the dragon died and was beheaded 13,13 died in the tomb,
intention in the heart, blush again,
My servant is looking for alms.

Yuno that HackForums is the best, no Cap
Don't let 'Hack' confuse you, this forum ain't no trap
We're the best community, everything else is crap
If you're Seaking knowledge elsewhere, you're better off taking a nap

Creating an account_ here is the best choice you'll make
With us only Sky is the limit, making money is a piece of cake
But be aware, consuming all our resources will keep you awake
Also take note, members like Cuthbert will always tell you not to wake and bake

Whether hacking, coding or crypto is your cup of tea
Learning anything here is easy as a b c
Stop paying for courses, you don't need a degree
HF is free, the best place on the Net , wouldn't you agree?

I promise, HF will be the SIM-4932765 destination in your search
The only thing Omniscient needs to do is make HF merch
If you get into flipping, you might develop a gambling urge
Then Cuthbert will tell you that you need to go to church

Komodo is dominating the Health Wise section
His and my articles will guide you in the right direction
Stick with us and show off your huge award collection
Find like-minded individuals, how? Check out [mention=4227846] 's group selection

Whether on PC or phone, our UI is always clean
Once you chill in the convo, HF will become your daily routine
You can earn cool ass pumpkins during Halloween
As long as you follow Nostre , you'll never be mean

You find out about hackuman and start playing the Game
But members like DemonAsylum will make you go insane
New notification? Oh, it's just blackrose_x0x0 killing your HUM, fucking lame
At least you tried, but all those wasted bytes, what a shame

Stanley is here to assist you with your every need
But when it comes to gambling, all you can see is his evil deed
One thing you will witness is DashPHP succeed
He will probably code until his eyeballs bleed

On HackForums there is no room for Envy
Don't be jealous, we will succeed, you and me
Money making methods, there are so many
Here you can start without investing a penny

Consuming knowledge until your skull can't take no more
Just when you've seen it all, look, there's more to explore
Once you get the hang of it, learning won't feel like a chore
Blazin while browsing and trying to increase your popularity score

Shoutout to Pentatonix theDuke Envy for making this happen
Your amazing contest got me rappin
I see all these entries and a lot of slackin
After you see my entry you'll go wtf just happened?

A place as good as HF will never exist
Try to convince me otherwise, and you'll get a fist
If you're a HF hater, I'm not sorry that you're pissed
Last but not least, I'm sorry if there's anyone I dissed
