Abuse

So I've got far too many points and for the longest time I couldn't think of a contest to hold. So I wrote some new stuff and I was looking for a contest to enter where the content would be appropriate . Couldn't find one. So I'm hosting the contest I couldn't find.

So this is for abuse poetry (rape, beatings, incest, etc.)

Rules:
1. Prewrites allowed
2. No homophobic, sexist, racist content
3. No religion bashing
4.'Rating' doesn't matter
5. Swearing is fine
6. no internet slang (btw, b/c, u, etc.)
7. No sticky Keys

1st-300 pts.
2nd-will be determined later
3rd-will be determined later

I'm sorry if it takes me a while to comment and judge these poems. I'm a jr. in high school so things are a little crazy.

Ignore what the contest page says. *I'm* not judging this until the 21st. Feel free to keep entering.

I'm looking forward to your entries.

Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on February 21, 2006
  • Rewards: Gold: 300
  • Final notes:
    This is such a difficult contest to judge. I received so many wonderful entries. I spent around half an hour debating who should win. I was so torn I have to hand out honorable mentions. Each person will receive 10 pts. I will give those out as soon as possible.
    I would love to leave a long beautiful statement in my closing notes but I’m sick and I really need to get back to the couch.

    1st place: 300 pts.
    2nd place: 100 pts.
    3rd place: 50 pts.

    Honorable mentions (in no particular order):
    Toxic Hate by Makae mae
    Broken Glass by countrybabe
    Ignorance by crimson remorse
    Loving Hate by bitter-kold
    God can Hear Me by Faithful Dreamer

    Thank you to everyone who entered. I really enjoyed your work. Keep writing.

    Hey. Ummm I was just curious as to why you haven't commented on my poem yet??? It was entered ages ago and you looked at it but haven't commented!! It is the ONLY poem in your contest that you haven't commented on!!!!!! I really would like to know what you think of it please. If you have just forgotten to comment on it thats ok just please let me know if that is the case.

    If you don't like me then fair enough but please tell me because I don't like having my poems in contests that the host doesn't like me because it is just a waste of their time and mine!! So please tell me why my poem hasn't been commented on? I would really appreciate an honest answer!!!

    By the way good luck with the judging!!

    congrats to the winners and honorable ones too yet I kinda had a pretty good feeling on this contest but nope. I tried my bset but lately I have been noticing on somer contests that entered that it seems my works aren't "good enough" to be in contests now, Im not saying this one but mostly all entered I feel others dont like how i write. I hope the persom who ran this contest get better soon. congrats to winners
