Oh here is my entry.
DiSTANCE
We didn't give Distance a chance..
To make chance for our romance..
You had doubts in your mouth..
You've let your anger out..
That you even forgot you and i could have had endurance..
We needed assurance..
We wanted what we feel to be of importance..
We want our life to rhyme like couples kissing under a tree..
Forgetting this piece rhymes in agony
Forgetting distance is a just a chance to build an everlasting romance..
Distance was a test, i admitted it put you in a trance..
You wanted us to go round the world, from spain to france..
Just to dance..
From a husband to a wife of substance..
Yet it was time you refuse to give in abundance..
You refuse to wait instead you fell,
off the way..
Önly if you knew i needed a while..
To make distance bring us closer..
Love an ever glowing light
Existing beyond time
A beacon in the darkest night
So vivid and sublime
Bursting through the dusky fog
Which shrouds the mind in doubt
A spring of hope and clarity
To end a hopeless drought
It cuts through heavy, inky fear
With tendrils sharp as blades
A brilliant, vibrant sentinel
Around the heart cascades
A growing strong and radiant beam
Through cold eternal space
Seeking out a place of rest
Within a warm embrace
Each half of whole compelled to stir
To draw the other in
Two parts of soul ignite a blaze
Love found within their twin
I'll take a shot. Thanks @mitchelljaworski for notifying me!
Here is my poem <3

I'll be entering shortly, but I thought I'd help you with a little proofreading first:
"I will judge and do all the payouts on Tuesday 17th September."
This seems unlikely to be true, seeing as it's October now, and the next September 17th to fall on a Tuesday won't be until 2019...
Thank you it was past midnight here when I posted. My match sticked eye must have missed that one :)
Sleeep!
Here is mine! YAYYY!
