As some may know, I have somewhat of an obsession with emotion. I believe it's the emotion within a poem that really gives it that edge. This is my first contest and I look forward to reading your poetry. So, now onto the rules
-I know most of you, since it's a contest about emotions, will write a sad he broke up with me poem. I want originality here. I want you to have me laughing at the end, happy, sad, even hungry if you would like to go that route. I want this to be a challenge of your words and your topic.
-I don't want any swearing or any poems about cutting and/or suicide. It's the holidays and I don't want to be dealing with poems like that during the holidays.
Other then that, I allow anything else you wish to write about, I suggest maybe going through and reading others poems in the contest to get an idea of what you're up against.
I will give 300 points to first, 2nd and third will be handeled when judged. I do have some financial help, so you can expect some kind of an award for these places. I will try to round up some more points for honors, but I have no promises there.
I know the ability and the talent that has come from this site, and I know I will find it here. Good luck to everyone.

Hi there
this sounds like a wonderful challenge... however, you say you're going to divide the points as 150 for gold, 100 for silver and 50 for bronze... unfortunately that doesn't go 
the minimum amount of point you need for a contest is 300, but that's the amount of points that goes straight to the winner... second and third can get point via the
tab...

I realize my mistake, This is my first contest and I didnt realize that, but thank you for pointing that out to me, It will be fixed.
