You are allowed to write about any subject you like.* I do not allow cursing and obscene language. And for the rest, the rules are the same as counts for all the other contests.
First prize 300 points
Second prize 200 points

*Put in your Author's Comment,
the name of the country where you are living.
*Well good luck in this Contest!
Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on July 11, 2005
- Rewards: Gold: 300
- Final notes: Gosh.... If I could, I would haven rewarded half of the poems in this contest with a first prize. They were all so good: nice subjects, well written, original, but..... all so very different. This made that I had a very hard time chosing the first three. It took me hours of reading and rereading. Thanks once again for entering this contest. Hope to see you again a next time. Zonia.

Excellent
i'd just like to say that this contest is an absolutely wonderful idea, i am english myself but i hate the fact that everyone thinks that the whole world should speak english and if we dont then they shouldnt be listened to. everyone has the right to express themselves no matter what background they come from. again i say well done for this wonderful idea. i hope many people enter this contest. good lukc to all those who do.
best wishes

thanx Zonia,
I have a prob here
coz i dont believe that i have any prob in writing in English,i don't like the idea of putting my poem in fot this contest but did that coz u asked me personally!
and one thing is that i really felt honoured on seeing my name in ur fave poets' list, as m new at writing, n never even cared to check, i hitted tht link by mistake!
that aside, m putting my poem for U !
thanx for putting me in ur fave list!
n ya i have to appreciate tht ppl who face probs writing in english coz of the reason i Q would get a moral boost
nmay be m not eligible for this contest too
englishis my second language, i studied it since my pre-school,so its as good as my mother tongue to me
thanx

Well you may enter, but please put in the Author's Comment where you are from and since when you live in an English speaking country. OK?
-
(No) Problems with writing English is not what matters. I understand that older people probably know English (as their second languagr) better than young people (although I sometimes wonder). Sugs I am honoured that you entered my Contest. Welcome.

What do you mean, putting you in the category "older" people? I have not taken into account age at all. I just looked at the poems... but they were all so different: in style, subject, rhyme scheme. It was very hard to jugde them. A next time I will ask for a certain subject though. That will make it a bit easier (I think)

Final Result:
First place: "He who has no face" by Mecs
Second place: "~Aun Existe Amor" by Lonely
Third place: "...Perhaps because we were... by DamnUnique -
