For this contest I want pure emotion centering around YOU. But I have options
1- Abuse you've suffered
2- Anger, for anything
3- Something sad you've experienced
4- If it's happy it has to be GOOD
5- Happy love, Sad love, any love. Not "I love you so much bla bla bla" or "I hate you but I love you"
6- Anything else, send me a message
Le Rules
1- No sticky caps
2- No internet chat
3- Put your option no in your author box or tell me what you used (ONLY) if you contacted me and I approved (even if its a prewrite)
NOW!
I can't stand really really long poems, I won't even finish them
I love dark poetry
Rhyme is good, but if it sounds forced then I won't like it
Again, I love metaphores but if its used over and over I won't like it
If you make me cry, smile, laugh, clench my fists, I'll give you 5 points
Now, I have 300 pts down for the gold but it will be more. In my last contest I awarded a total of 1035 points. And most everyone got something.
Now DEPENDING on the quality of the poems for gold, silver, and bronze, I will award points accordingly.

I hava question for you, do you mind if its a story about drugs??? and getting over them?
I hava couple poems i could put in here but i might put them in once they are done being judged in another contest.... plz let me no about the poem...tnx
Valerie -
Go right ahead. ^^
-
How long would you consider too long and how many poems may we submit. I have a poem that is 4 stanzas but each stanza is about 9-13 lines
-
That's okay. Just make sure it stays interesting.
-
I'm not entirely sure what you meant by this... "Put your option no in your author box or tell me what you used (ONLY) if you contacted me and I approved (even if its a prewrite)". Does that mean we have to contact you to get approval for entering ANYTHING? I'm just a tad confused by what you said... I would like to enter something though, a prewrite about surviving abuse.
-
Oh. It means that I have to approve you to use a poem that's option isn't written down. Say, your prewrite doesn't fit one of the options. If I approve you to use the poem then in the author box say "I asked and you approved of the poem"
-
Ah yes, that makes more sense to me now. I feel silly for not realising before, hehe. Thanx for that, and I shall enter my poem now.
Thank you for clarifying!
-
No problem
-
Umm I wasn't quite sure if my poem qualifies for the option I chose so could you please check it out and let me know if it's ok in that option? I would really appreciate it.
Thanks heaps.

Good luck judging, you will need it.

whoa.... i was going to enter this contest, but i thought i'd spare you. it looks like you are going to have your hands full judging this contest! i liked that you gave plenty of options for poem topics. again, good luck with the judging!
-
WOW, toooo many, think I will find another, you have your hands full of reading here, all the prewrites......good luck, hope you are able to get through all of these in some time frame....great idea for the contest, loved it, but just too many entries.
-
Good luck Nikkiebockie ^^ ... i miss you already
-
Lots of entries! !
Good luck to everyone!

Great contest I hope you like my contribution, something

Yes! I keep on delaying the judging because I love reading these poems. Just make sure you followed the rules. I never give cceptions,especially when there are so many entries. ^^
-
Thank you so much for the third trophy...I am glad you liked my poem that much. Ireally appreciate the time you took to read my work. Thanks again

Thank you so much for the honor of gold. Congratulations to all the winners and mentions

I know there were a lot of entries, but the contest ran for over a month, and I followed the rules and it doesn't appear that you read my entries. Your name doesn't appear on the list of people who've read them (although that only goes back 2 weeks) nor did I get any constructive criticism on them (which is the real reason I enter contests). If I'm mistaken I apologize.
In any case, congratulations to the winners and the long list of honorable mentions.
If anyone wants to leave comments on my entries, they are welcome, but please be patient about me returning the favor- I am in the midst of moving and also due to deliver this crazy kid in 2 1/2 weeks! -
I've been checking the number of times my poem was read and it never changed...it was read only once by a nice person who also commented on it. What does the "author" of this contest have to say?
-
because I allowed prewrites when someone would add a prewrite it would go into the date comapred to the others, and some got past me ( because I read them over a week or so)
-
Allowing prewrites can confuse things- poems will be listed in the order written, not the order entered... I find it's helpful to click on the link to the poem each time I get an entry message- although I hear that's not always accurate.
The very best thing to do, once it's closed for judging, is to click on the first poem (read and comment) then use the "next in contest" link to go through the whole list. That way you shouldn't miss any.
Or if you got a paid membership, you could read all the entries in their entirety from the judging page (but I find that somewhat confusing).
I do want to thank you for visiting my entries once I called your attention to it- and for your generous points allowance for your mistake. I'm sure it was an honest mistake because you've been very kind about having this called into question (those who respond less nicely I suspect of purposely judging poorly, though they may adamantly deny it!)
Thanks again and I hope you will keep those tips in mind for next time. -
I will, and I thank you for helping me.
