Oh Yes... my next contest!
Have you ever wanted a Gold membership on Allpoetry? Can't afford one? How would you like one for free?! Well.. if you win this contest you will win my free 3 month Gold membership as part of Kevin's buy one get one free offer! Interested in winning it? Read on little puppy!
I'm looking for your BEST poetry. Write about anything and everything (apart from Adult poetry), just make sure it is your best! I will be judging, and I will be enlisting support from my closest friends if the contest becomes too hot to handle!
Why am I doing this? I can't think of anyone to give the 2nd membership to. I really want to give it someone on here that will appreciate it and that will help them grow as a poet.
What will I be judging you on? The quality of your work, how much you want this Gold membership and how this Gold membership will enhance your skills as a poet in the future!
Stuck on what to write about?
You could write:
1. A dedication to a friend / partner / secret admirer
2. About a bad experience you've gone through and how you have / ha vent pulled through.
3. About how you feel. Just had exams? Stressed? Nervous? How do you feel now? (Don't necessarily have to describe the event, just the emotions)
4. About your favourite object / person
5. About a new opportunity / hopes and dreams / aspirations
6. About why chickens can't do back flips, cows go miaow and snakes bark.. seriously! Anything! Twist the warped we live in to your advantage!
7. Hate some aspects about society or politics? Write a skit or poem about the world you live in? Live 8 is coming up.. what do you think about the issues raised!
Just some ideas. You can write about anything, not just the things I mentioned above. Just make sure they arent of adult content!
Remember, I want poetry! Think free verse, rhyming, haiku's etc.

3. No prewrites allowed. One original poem per person only!
4. Make friends, have fun and enjoy yourselves!

Okay. I am oficially stupid. Would this be considered the authors comments? I'm so new to this, it's cinfusing ;x
-
Np your not stupid matey! Put the details in the authors comments of your poem. To do this, edit your poem and you will see a box entitled "Authors Comments" Hope that helps!
-
Okay. After looking at that comment. I really am stupid. I cant type for beans. What I meant to say was:
I'm officially stupid. Would this be considered the authors comment box? I'm so new to this, and its confusing ;x -
hehe This is the comment box, Authors comments is a separate thing
-
Yes! very much so. Now I'm going to try it! Sorry for posting so many times. I'm confused about this site! But I like the general idea, so I'll just have to be patient.

This is a terrific idea, and I plan on entering! Yes I do! I will bookmark it and come back to it as soon as I get a bit more muse going. I kinda sorta just woke up... so my brain and muse are still D-E-A-D. lmao So yes, I shall be back! ^.^ Great idea! You are a very generous person!
