Poets! I've gotten some great entries and amazing works, plaese don't be offended- but you can do better than this, and my contest is *weak* it needs work and and an idea which i am without - so, you'll know by tomarrow if i decide to save my points or re-do the whole contest-
thanks all for entering,
maybe somewhere else there is light
*guten natch, friends*

Hi! this is going to be a rather quick contest that I'm going to end up wishing i never created it- please, prove me wrong!
Here we go, poet friends! Once again (i shouldn't be surprised) I find myself lost. I've considered abandoning this site, and really, have you ever looked around for inspiration and then finding nothing- isn't that frustrating!?!?! So, I'm really depressed again-why should you care? because you can get 300 points out of it if you work hard...
so what do you have to do for 300pts.?
EASY!:
create an inspiring - totally inspiring like jump outta your swivel chair inspiring! make me forget I'm lost and depressed and weird give me an inspiration for being *different* - let my nonconformist outoftheordinary ways drink from your words with new hope inspire me through a poem based on a DEPECHE MODE SONG!!!(I'm obsessed)( don't steal the song) ( put song title in your authors notes)here is a useful link for the above option: http://www.lyricsondemand.com/d/depechemodelyrics/
character comes from suffering- show me howRULES:
no erotic, profanity, adult content what so ever no lengthy poems- no longer than 30 lines pleaseactually read everything on this page
be creative and actually inspire me please
other stuf:
up to THREE entries allowed! donations would be honored, I'm lower on points than I thought- (donors will be noted) hey poets, circulate, read the other entries, you get points and give encouragement- this IS NOT REQUIRED but would be nice-that's all for now
GO WRITE!
