Give me the writes you like and I will pick those I like. Pretty much open contest.
1. Read and comment on two of my writes.
2. Only two entries per writer. Prewrites expected, but not required.
Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on July 6, 2005
- Rewards: Gold: 300
- Final notes: There were many great poems and it took a lot of effort to weigh them. Many on a 1-10 scale were 10's, though some not my cup of tea. Therefore, three I decided were eleven's placed.
Locked Away - violet-kisses won first
Wealthy Mother Nature - Amanda Smart won Silver
Why do you lie to me - Rafter169 took third
Because of many recent victories, I am awarding points to 2nd, 3rd, and to honorable mentions.
Every poem I felt was worthy of a 10 is listed here under honorable mention; there are a bunch:
The Poet's Taboo - Diamond
Evil among us - Queen
Falling Stars - Donjo1030
Aries The Ram - Charishma
And she vanished - Andu
Dark Deed at Daybreak - hobbitscanfly
Rain - avendesora
Once upon a time - LonelyArtist
Battle Within - KittyKat327
Lemmon Aid - willowleaf77
She Waits - LadyUnique
Pandora's Box - Blazing White Wolf
Mascara Flood - ohioisforlovers09
I appreciate all the interesting entries. I am trying to develop new ideas and I am certain your writes will help me do just that. I appreciate each of you.
Andy

I like this contest idea. I wonder, does it have to be a poem? I'm trying my hand at something new for me, and wonder if I may enter it.
-
I don't really want anything too lengthy, I will have a lot of entries. You will have to enter your write as a poem.
-
I WUV ANDY! yay so I'm going to enter..but I commented on like all your poetry already...so what the hell!?
-
Good Idea for a Contest.
Oh my Gosh! Look how many entries you already have. The competition is too intense here. I am toying around with a poem but it may not come to fruition. Time will or will not tell. Does that make sense?
-
Some have not qualified, but you would already be qualified because you have read many more than two of my writes. There are going to be a lot, may have to close it early.
Andy -
good luck in judging the contest. there are a lot of enteries and the competion is feirce.
-
Thanks. It is definitely going to be a challenge, but I am looking for inspiration. If I survive, I should find some.
Andy -
Hi Andy... yet anoother new contest by you... I wish you all the best for judging this one too...
hope you get what you like...
Neha -
Of course I meant to qualify or I wouldn't have entered and I will get around to critiquing two of your poems sometime today.
-
I subbmitted two of my prewrites that are so different you would even know ther by the same person. ...Andy I'll comment tommorow cause I hate to comment on poems and not give applause. I have non left so i'll do it first thing in the morning. ok? OK
-
It's a pleasure to be apart of your contest. I'll make this short because you have a lot of entries which requires alot of reading and typing. Enjoyed reading the poems of yours I've read so far.
-
I don't show that you have commentedf on two of my writes. Which ones did you like or dislike and why?
Andy -
I'm sorry I commented after the poems I read. I dont recall the titles but one was she walks, and the other was about how you have fell at her feet and she doesnt love you and the ? of her love for you. The first one I seen my relationship, me being the walker, and it open my eyes some after reading your words. The other one I felt like i was the one at the feet begging for love and wandering if the love ever exists. Thanks for your time. And I enjoyed both of them.
