I Want Friends, Don't You?



I want finds who are kind, caring, intelligent, wise, and brave.  Any one may enter.

You may enter up to two short poems.

Read, and comment in your author's comments, on your favorite AP writer.  I do not count.

Read and comment on "Time To Spend"      allpoetry/poem/995523 or  "Mind, What A Wonderful Thing"      allpoetry/poem/1206640

Places will be chosen based on feeling, not necessarily quality.  There will be a few honorable mentions.

Good Luck!!!!!!!

Andy

    This is a cute contest idea! Seriously. I might have to consider doing something like this myself I wouldn't mind entering, but I've always disliked the rules that require me to read and comment on the works of the contest holder. I have to say, I particularly like that you admitted you would chose places based on emotion and not quality. I'm discouraged by contests that do not state this, yet chose poorly written poetry. lol. I'm a stickler for things like that. Good luck with your contest and I hope you make a few new friends out of it!

    Let's be friends...

    I used to feel that way then I thought, we are supposed to make four comments for each piece we write anyway... So two to contest runner or entrants isn't much to ask when you stand to gain 300 points or more. Actually, probably all four should go to contest runner and entrants. However, probably like you, I am bogged down with favorites that I don't want to let down either. I think all contests are based on emotional and personal choice. I have seen poems win that only won because they followed rules. I have seen contest runners be quite rude about rules must be followed then winner didn't follow any. It is an imperfect world and we all make the best of it as we can being just as imperfect.

    Oh well, I agree this is an EXCELLENT contest and I hope lots of poets enter. A nice start for first day with four entries.

    Godspeed and best wishes 24/7

    love your stuff, it's great.

    too late to enter, but just love to put a little saying out there.
    If you had one choice to change a thing, would you change them or the person with-in.
    Would you want them longer when their day was through,
    it would only be selfish, something for you.
    would you want another day.
    If you did most would reach out and give instead of taking in.
