Ok, well here's the deal. I haven't been able to write much lately. I keep getting caught up in really negative emotions and that's all I write about. I can't write about anything else because I have no inspiration. So that's what I'm looking for! Inspiration.
Help me fix this. Submit your best stuff. Doesn't matter the subject, preferably no really dark stuff because I don't want to feel that way, but if you think a dark write is your best, by all means, submit it. I'll read it, I judge, you know the rest.
Rules:
1) I'm talking about best as in actual best, not really meaningless shallow poetry. I want to read something that makes me feel. So rule number one? Be meaningful.
2) No more than two prewrites per person. If I see that you have submitted more than two prewrites, I'll delete the excess ones, and you won't be able to choose which ones to keep (and they may not be your best ones). Any number of new poems are allowed, but I don't want more than 2 prewrites.
3) For every prewrite, you must comment on one of my poems. If you have submitted a new poem, then you don't have to. But you *must* comment one poem of mine for each prewrite you submit. In your author box, write which poem you commented on (or tell me in the comments of this contest).
That's it. Have fun. Be creative. Inspire me!

The rules say that prewrites are allowed. But in fact.. prewrites are not allowed. Can you fix it? Cheers!
-
umm....in the top it said that you can enter prewrites but theres no where to enter them. um... so yeah and i wanted to enter a prewrite....but hey...what can i do...
Love Renee xox -
hey, i commented on 'testing testing 1 2 3' and 'secret'
very nice work, easy to relate to. good luck getting back into your groove -
I think that the best way to fix the prewrite problem is to go to the contest, click on edit. I think that you may have actually hit no prewrites,on accident. I have one that I would love to enter.. Will be reading your work shortly
-
I commented on "they". I will be reading more, regardlss of entering the contest. I like your style
-
I commented on testing, testing, 1 2 3. To be honest, at first I was just reading it because we had to comment on one, but once I read it I couldn't help but to applaud it. Trust me when I say that I can relate. I hope you find your inspiration.
-
I entered " curl " into your contest. Goodluck to
all the contestants.
And now I'm off to check out
some poetry on your end of things. I'll put which poem I
commented on in my authors comments.

I entered 'Thank You' into your contest...and I commented on "the Last one"....I like it..
I wrote thank you for a friend...And have been told it's one of my best...So yeah.. -
cool contest
looks like u'll get a LOT of entries x x xhave fun judging
-
Thank you Midnight Fairy for THANK YOU. I loved the honesty in your poem. I never considered myself a great poem, I don't know..., I just scribble away when I can or when I feel like it about whatever I feel at that time... It helps. And so many negative things have happened to me over time that in the end most of my poems showed more and more of that. Sometimes dreams just turned into nightmares... but I hope from my heart that all will get better for you soon... Gwyneth
