Clarification. Does it have to Rhyme?
It has to follow a legitimate ruleset of a type of poem. If you're not sure what ones there are, bother Gretchen.

This made me laugh. Gretchen, are you secretly a poetry major? :x
I guess open form poetry is right out. How about free verse?
On the border we share with The Klink,
Task Force Argo is poised at war's brink.
How they valiantly fill
Ackbar's Crabshack and Grill
Fighting boredom with gossip and drink.

Strength in bondage.
Strength in War.
Chores that have been done before.
I ask why we are fighting for something that was already
fulfilled before. A struggle of flesh and bone, a
conflict of spirit and trust we should have known.
We fight for something we do not own.
A power we claim to have but don't.
Boats sail across the cosmos giving
birth to heroes and villains both.
We are Argonauts
We rise
There is no disguise.
Monster appear before our eyes.
A Hydra we kill but it does not die.
A Fleece is sought but doesn't come.
Songs are sung but nothing is done.
We strive for a time.
For a new era to begin.
No more fighting.
No more War.
No more old chores
But won't we just be bored?
No..... there is a Final Frontier to Explore.
WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. That was the best i'll ever do.

Ack, sorry, I'll address this when I get hoem.
For the record Skyler, I tried, but I couldn't come up with anything. I've now discovered that I have no skills in poetry and am going to have to rely on my witty charm to get me through life.... that and my dashing debonair smile.
Sorry, Dae-Fail.
Sorry, Dae-Fail.
Voting is now open, and will run for a week!
Three days for this! Vote~
Right, with a tie, not much I can do with this steam key.
I know Gretchen doesn't want it...do either of the remaining contestants have a similar mindset?

I must concede that I am not worthy of 1st place.....and I will instead take the .... the forum title. Unless.....uh....someone doesn't want 2nd place, in which case i'll take the cash
