Wow. Really deep and impressive poem! Well done. Definitely a lot going on there and a very vivid story is being told. That's really cool you made a poem about your friend. Sounds like quite the character! :)

In regards to the part about "Disclosure: This poem has been in the works for me for awhile. If it is supposed to be written during the length of the contest, I can withdraw this entry."

No worries! There are no rules about that sort of thing, it can be old or new poetry, just anything having to do with poetry. :)
Thanks for the awesome entry!!
