Heart-Felt Regrets

This is my first contest and I want it to be a heart-felt one.

I want heart-felt poems written on the thing you most regret.  Something you did that has changed your whole life.  

Examples of something I DON'T want:
"Oh, I regret breaking up with so and so because..."
or
"I regret not finishing my homework because I got a bad grade..."
etc. etc.. you get my drift.

Example of one I DO want:
Something along the lines of...
"I regret the day I didn't say... because..."

Doesn't have to be exactly that, but I want something with feeling.

If it doesn't follow then it gets disqualified...

Rules:
1. No cussing.. I don't think that is needed in this.
2. No StIcKy CaPs please.
3. No Internet language.

If you enter a pre-write, please enter an original also.

Have fun!

  • Final notes:
    Thank you everyone for entering my contest. I didn't have such a hard time deciding who won the contest after all. I know it may not seem fair to some but in my thing I specifically wrote that if you submitted a pre-write you also had to submit an original poem. For those who didn't do as I wanted them to I read the poems but I didn't consider them for winning any places. Sorry. All the poems submitted were good in their own way. But I picked the winner based on how it touched me and made me think about things. Great job everyone. I'll try and figure out how to give everyone else points for trying also. I can't promise anything though because I'm not sure how to do it.

    I'm going to try to get something in for this contest. I have something stuck in my head, and if I can get it out, and down on paper it will be entered!
    All the best, Mandy

    Everyone, this is going to be a hard contest to judge. These are all heart-wrenching poems. All have a different form and all are equally great. I only need one more person to submit a poem then I'll start the judging. This is my first contest, so the top winner will receive 300 points from me, and I'll see if I can make a second and third place winners also. Everyone else I will give 10 points to if I can figure out how to do it. I'm new at it so please bear with me. But everyone will at least get something. Thank you everyone, once again.

    Thank you for the bronze trophy (sorry for the late response). It really means a lot considering what you had written in my comment on it. Best of luck to you.

    ummm can I ask u a question?
    Im kind of new in here and i didnt know how to put an original because I thought that when you wrote it in allpoetry that was your original or what do you mean by original because you only write one poemin allpoetry with the same name. Im really confuse.Thank you for having the time to read my request.
