This is an options contest!
Fantasy, anime and deep poetry have always been my obsession, so I decide to start a contest on it. The options are pretty straightforward:
1. FANTASY: This can be anything with fantasy creatures e.g. unicorns, centaurs, or a something similar to David Eddings, Alice Borchardt or David Gammels' stories. But no sci-fi please!
2. DEEP POETRY: Submit a piece about problems in society, or philosophies. However, that does not need to be dark.
Examples - browse allpoetry.com/poets/memnoch
allpoetry.com/poets/sarajevo - they are experts at depicting issues like this.
3. ANIME: Anime refers to Japanese cartoons such as Inuyasha, Naruto, Final Fantasy etc. I am going to leave this to you, whether it maybe a poem about being with your favourite anime character for a day, or a graphic scene. If you are confused go to www.shonenjump.com.
MAXIMUM 2 POEMS PER PERSON!
Please specify which option you choose in your author's notes, thanks!
PRIZES:
1st place - 300 points
2nd place - 100 points
3rd place - 50 points
Honourable mentions maybe given, depending on how many points that are left.
RULES:
1. No cussing
2. No erotica
3. No spelling LiKe tHiS!
Hope you enjoy this and have fun!
A huge thank you to DD (aka the artist on my 'Gargoyle Girl' piece) and S for helping me to judge, your insightful help have been greatly appreciated! I don't know how long it will take to judge all without you two!!

I have a poem somewhere about falling into a hole! It was a pretty deep hole and the poem focused on that, maybe not though

Alright, my mistakes, prewrites are allowed and well, so long the poems fit for fantasy, anime or have a deep theme (philosophical/emphasis on society issues (refer to refererences) - go ahead.
