Okay. A while back, I saw this done as a contest and I really liked it. What I want you to do is type in postsecret.com in your address bar, look for a post card and write a poem about it. I want you to put your pic in your author's comments (if you click on it, it will bring up the pic in a larger window and that will be the adress I should be brought to). When you pick a postcard, find one that attracts you. And describe what you see in it. I check postsecret every week, but I may not know which one is yours. I will read all the poems and try my best to leave comments, but if I don't see the address of the picture, I will either DQ you or not even add you as a contestant. I'm not trying to be mean, I just want to know what you are looking at. And plus, every Sunday, they change them. So I could be looking at yours from last Sunday and if I go to check, it wouldn't be there.
So anyways, rules.
Spell check, I can find the smallest thing wrong and it sucks on my part. I'll probably just ask you to fix it, but it won't hurt you or anything.
As I said before, please put the address in your author's comments.
And last but not least, Have fun.

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on March 25, 2006
- Rewards: Gold: 350
- Final notes: I loved the three poems I picked. I'm sorry if I didn't comment on your poem, but I did read them all. I know I said this for my last contest, but everything has been getting in the way. I even took a REALLY long time to judge this one. If you still want me to write a comment on your poem, I will... just give me a couple of days to get everything straightened out in my out life, then I promise to comment on anyone's who've I haven't commented on. Again, I'm sorry for the long delay and for not commenting on some of them.

Hello,
Just wanted to leave a nice comment for you, I think this is a great idea for a contest, very cool. I might enter, I haven't decided that yet, but even if I don't, I just want you to know that this was a great idea.

Hey plzz, I hope you are kidding. You are messing with someone I love and cherish. I protect my own with a vengeance, so take my advice...STFU. OK? Or OPEN MINDS will descend en masse' on your ass. Got it? Punk.

this is very cool, i saw a thing on tv about the postsecret project, and the book the guy made, which i really want to find...my university library might actually have it, i'll have to check that. anyway, this sounds fun, i might just have to peruse the website a bit.

Cool contest I hope you'll start another one with this same idea because I really enjoyed it. Even though I didn't win, I got a really good poem into my collection now.
Congratulations to the winners
