| Editor’s Note: Entries are no longer being accepted. The submissions phase ended April 24 at noon (EST). Check back soon to read the winning poems. |
Anyone can go to see a superstar in a huge venue — that’s easy. But it’s a rarity to catch the queen of pop in a much cozier joint. If you’re a Madonna fan and a decent poet, you’ve got a shot at making this dream come true. Our “4 Lines To See Madonna” contest is all about celebrating the arrival of the singer’s new Hard Candy on April 29. We’ll select two winners, and they’ll each get a pair of tickets for an exclusive performance at New York’s intimate Roseland Ballroom on April 30.
Here’s the deal: you submit a four-line poem about Madonna in the comments section below. It can rhyme, not rhyme, be about her fashion sense, be about a song, or be about a particular era of her storied career. Hey, it can be about any aspect of Madonna’s life that moves you. We’ll check entries through noon of April 24, and decide on two winners. Transportation to NYC is not provided. But once you’re here, there will be two tickets waiting for you.
Feel free to submit more than one entry. We’ll contact the winning poets on April 25 via the email that you include on the “Mail” field of the comments section. (This email will not be made public.) Download the official rules here. You’ll be judged on outrageousness, musical knowledge, and crazy-ass rhymes. Need an example to get you started? You got it.
You’ve sung about sex and spiritual stuff
You’ve proven for years that you take no guff
Now that you’re in the Rock Hall of Fame
Everyone knows, that girl you’ve got game.
Check another example after the jump.
Timberlake‘s bud, Warren Beatty‘s too
Used to play punk rock, but those days are through
Madge you’ve moved on to much more acclaim
Thanks to your stuff, we’ll never be the same.

From loss and sadness, bear in my early thoughts,
I eagered, I struggled and stagnated, like the swallow flew without it’s mother.
It almost tore my wings apart.
I didn’t know where to start, begin or end…
But to venture the unknowns with playing music, my art
embarking on a journey, trying put rythem to my broken heart , allow my deepheld emotions to spill out onto rivers and ecape to the seas,
free to open my wings and connect to what i thought was lost
finally take to the skies, unified to be touched by the light and love once again
And Now I understand, my life was given by her, mother, mother, guided me all those times..she knew I could be the very pheonix that take to the skies of what is eternity.
Madonna I hope read this someday as I hope you will understand the message in it. just something I felt i needed to express to you.

ERES MUY GENIAL ESTOS DIAS,ERES MUY POPULAR EN MI VIDA,ERES MI ARTISTA PREFERIDA, ERES MY LOVE DE TODA LA VIDA TE ADORO NONNI.
so they call her mrs. ritchie
and some even say that she’s _&*#` y
oh but we know her much better
so we continue to love her, whatever.
Just like a cameleon. Just like a virgin. Just like a prayer.
No matter what, Madonna is the one and only true artist that will ever be loved.
Express your emotions, express your feelings, no matter what you will be dealing.
She’s got no oponent. She’s the material girl, the frozen heart the broken rose.
The one who’s changing like the one above. The human nature, the only throne. The Queen of queens.
Just like the seasons, she’s changing, just like the weather, she’s melting. The one and only. The great desire. Madonna’s hot, Madonna’s tire.
You’ll love her or hate her. You take it or leave it. To have and not to hold. To kiss and not to stroke.
To watch her and not adore. To miss her and not even call.
Rocco and Lourdes, the beat is in your veins, the music in your body and your love is in your taste. Madonna’s number one, you know she is yo mom!
peace & lub

please tell her that in person ,
1>(Smoothness is not soft body to body, and the piece of friction because the other body to body produces heat and this heat produces pleasure, required
The smoothness is the speed of salvation when the body descendant of the water.
Whenever risen faster running proved Softness.
2>Everything has grown Rights imagination, and the wave of Beauty,
either encounter something or swim until the end of the beach Up
on the ground and disappear among the sand.
There is calm
question .
my best regard.

Dejame tenerte por un momento !
Solo un momento, tu y yo nada mas.
Dejame sentirte mio.
Dejame sentirte cerca.
Cerca muy cerca,
tan cerca que hasta
pueda escuchar tu corazon.
Es solo un momento !
Regalame ese momento !
Luego te iras y te olvidaras …
De este momento,
y tal vez de mi.
Pero yo tratare de olvidarlo,
aunque duela y lastime…
Quiero un momento con vos !
Solos tu y yo,
una unica vez,
una ultima vez !

Every time i sleep i hear voices calling my name, he is in sane a waste husler strugling for identity but none of them knowns the tue meaning of my name.
some times i wonder, is it in the nature of their culture?
to leap what they never sow?
to wipe out what they never belt?
maybe, probably, perhaps, this might be another origin of the Tsunami Part
They sing thier favourite song as they padal their canoes in the sand of the Sahara desert, “smokeless fire, smokeless fire.
and they tell their young stars to adjust the sails because they about to hit the shoes of the Namibi desert.
i think the end has become the first.
SMOKELESS FIRE

Papa dont preach,hung up,into the groove,open your heart,was the first song I ever heard by you Now im addicted to you. Everyday i find a new song that i love by you. I was born in 1989,so i know im a little late but i just saw truth or dare and now its my favorite movie and i have more respect for you,you dont take any crap,and speak your mind thats what i like about you. Cant believe your 50 age sure doesnt have an affect on you. I watched the S&S tour on youtube i wish i was there it was the best tour i scene,And I thought nothin can beat the 90′s blonde amibition scene.And you still have seven year olds dressin up wanting to be like you and die hard worshiping fans worshiping you. Your my inspiration i wannna be a singer too,eveytime I wanna give up a put on a madonna record,and think what would madonna do?
