Oh God, please enter something good!

CLOSED EARLY

I lack in time lately and I have loads to read.




If you dared enter shit, you will be told, then burned with acid and dragged naked behind a horse.

Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on November 28, 2005
  • Rewards: Gold: 300
  • Final notes:
    I read most of the entires, but NO, I did not read and comment every poem on account of half the morons couldn't put two and two together...that being GOOD and POETRY in the same phrase.

    Despite the pain I went through (oh yes, as if you really care) there were some good entries here.

    GREAT CONTEST

    Good idea for rules. BRavo...I think on my next contest, I will be setting the same rule of no one on my favorites...it's extremely hard (especially when those you know, write quite well) I guess I should consider entering, for no other reason than dragged naked behind a horse sounds somewhat intriguing... (lol) Great idea for a contest. Hope to find something worthy.

    Best Regards, Liz

    So vaseline, am I in the category of 'Morons" who can't post a good poem or the category of "Morons' who can in your expert opinion??? If people take the time to post a poem, you could at least take the time to read them! And yes, I used to live in Quebec, so you are lucky I don't tell you off in French.... sigh~

    oui, je suis désolé, je sais a quelle point sa puet etre difficile de mettre un poem deja ecrit dans un concours, oui oui, beaucoup d'effort. Voila, une medaille mon ami, est tu satisfait(e)?

    et en passant, je me contre fiche si tu parle francais ou pas, dit moi ce que tu veut, question de voir si cela m'affecte.

    You are mistaken, as I would be hanging on every one of your fascinating comments, and encouraging words regarding everyone who took the time to enter. As far as I'm concerned, you only posted the contest so you could bash people in the name of a "Poetry contest".

    You are sorry, yeah right!! Your sarcastic attitude is very endearing. And yes, I'd love a medal from you. BTW, I entered that poem because it is one of my favorite poems. To borrow a phrase from you, I couldn't give a rat's a** about your opinion on whether I worked hard on the poem or not, nor if you think it is a good poem or not.

    if you didnt care as much as you say, you would have dropped it a long time ago, and if you dont give a rats ass bout my opinion so much, why do you feel the need to constantly justify yourself for the reasons you entered the poem, geesh. get lost

    Once again, blinded by your arrogance, you fail to see that I am not trying to justify my poem. If I were to host a contest for the "Snob of AP" you'd win the gold trophy in a walkover. In that type of a contest, you'd be like a shark vs a school of guppies, if your poetry reflected your personality.

    That is precisely the type of response I would have expected from a person of your obvious limitations. Your difficulty lies in the glaring fact that you do not apparently possess the intelligence to understand the work. Your life must be terribly burdened and I truly am saddened by that.
