NOTICE 1C: I'm really working on it.
NOTICE 1B: Sorry has to wait till tomorrow....
NOTICE 1A: I have read all the poems. I'll be closing this tonight. 6/1/2006. Thanks for your patience.
NOTICE:
It has been brought to my attention that my "Read your poem" Comment is assinine. My intention is to comment on all poems. I was saving my in- depth comment until after judging. The reason I left you that note was to let you know indeed I was reading your poem. I had heard that there were lots of instances of people entering contests and poems never being read. Forgive my apparent ignorant attiitude. I am reading and will judge this soon but its Memorial Day weekend ....so
clink.
This contest is for 300 points. It is about Poetry.
Which is an Art.
Please include the proper amount of Magic. Also, since I originally posted this by accident as pre-writes allowed and two slipped in - feel free to enter a pre-write however, you'll have to delete and make it New.
Thank you.

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on June 3, 2006
- Rewards: Gold: 300
- Final notes:
Thanks.
I'm done hosting contests.
Lute and Slick Wadsworth wrote the top two poems as a few people recognized early on. I'm not surprised. I've given them both Golds.
I really liked Ariosto's and Ea's both interesting and different.
Over at Love Mangled with Art II
You'll find that AlmostMe's Tongue garnered the Silver and Horus8's Porter the Bronze.
In Love Mangled with Art III - Newcomers
Sweet Intoxication gets a Gold
Dreams of Sanity - Silver
Nevada - a Bronze
Inkless
Jantastic

all wrote pieces that could have gotten trophies had I had more to give. If you want to have a good time - go to Blkwidow77's poem and click on her audio version -- VERY much worth the trip.
Thanks to everyone -- I hope you you were inspired.

prewrites, eh? you planning for some 300 entries?
-
oh, I get it. prewrites if you ask. something like that.
-
I made a mistake. I'm good at them.
-
No mistake, you planned it. I saw it. No problem.
-
No I didn't? Swear.
-
why do you have something? go ahead and enter it. i don't care that much about stuff like that .. just didn't want to have to read 300 after you noticed it. -
no, I'd rather ruminate on the image of mangled love art if I'm gonna enter this contest. Anyhow, you've got two trophies up there already, I figure.
But yes, mangled love art.
-
You are not the Host of the contest ma'am. So don't go figuring on trophies though, those two are without a doubt two of my all time favorites in these parts. However, I'd rather you ruminate and stir up that Muse.
It is, afterall the Work, the Poem that matters. And I would be highly honored if you ruminated enough to Create some Mangled Love Art for me to enjoy.

I saw this contest and for the first time, I was forced to enter. I don't know what it is about this one. But it called to me and I had to answer. I hope you enjoy my response to your contest.

Thank you. Your spell may be exactly what I need.

Oddly this sort of theme has been spinning a delicate little web in my head of late I'm just not sure it's ready to be fully appreciated yet. Perhaps Charlotte will weave some pretty words in it.

strange the way some things seem to be there.. at the right or wrong time.. I love the idea of this.. and something similar has been musing itself around in my head.. for some time .. I know I can mangle anything that is supposed to be poetry, but I wouldn't neccessarily call that art.. on my part.. I think zara's right.. there are at least two trophies here.. already..

come play. come play. come play. -
Billyd and I are thinking about entering this one in our new collab name but reading the entries not sure it's up our ally cause it'll end up being a sex poem even if it doesn't start out that way but we might do it anyway since it's all art and of course sex is always love isn't it? If not then why bother?

i wish i had found this earlier- sigh... a day late, a dollar short.

still open .. -
writing is an art, and in art there are no rules except to be broken. oltherwise they wouldn't call it "art" they would call it something like.... well you know. where they censor free expression whenever it hits a little too close to home.
-
what kind of poems must it be?
-
amazing
This is fascinating... I do agree. However, I believe that writing about love and how it can relate to an art would not be something I am personally very good at. I will read the entries, and probably comment, so good luck to all those of you who do enter!!!! -

Not sure, but my entry might not fit the criteria requested.Thought I understood the requested topic till perveying others.If so ,so sorry.~~Suseann
-
you know.. I love your contests.. not just because they seem to have a way of getting me to write, but also because they do that to so many others and I wind up spending a day, or more just going through the thoughts they spur into being.. like this one..
-
what a great line up of poets coming through here ... i will enjoy reading this contest, the theme of which is one of my favourites ... good luck with judging ! >>> gina

Which poem do you like best?
-
fuck...this is one comp I would relish...rats...missed it!!!
have fun

Did I lose yet?
-
No not yet. -
thanks for the shitty comment on my poem, I really appreciate it and to show you how much I appreciated it I removed my poem and then deleted it.
-
you are retarded. i made the same comment on everyone's poem that i've read so far.
-
It's a retarded comment. Why even make a comment like that? What's the point? "ooh, I viewed your poem, and me saying this means .. " what? That you viewed the poem (or read it as you said) .. perhaps if you said that and also put "But I'll be back to make a critique" or something to the effect it wouldn't have been as stupid.
Every time I read that same repetitious line by other Contest Holders it always means 1 of 2 things:
1. I really didn't read your piece and I'm just marking my territory here so you think I did.
or
2. I read your piece, thought it was shit, and you most definitely will not be placing -- actually me and my friends are currently laughing our asses off at you right now.
(a bit dramatic but you know)
I hate that line, it's a bullshit line, it says nothing and it's a waste on peoples poetry.
Don't mark your territory, if you have to let people know you've read their work then put a message on the Contest page and/or actually make a comment.
-
oh shut the fuck up. you are such a whiner.
i always make detailed comments on poems - this time i decided to do it after i judge it instead of while in the process of reading them all.
-
don't tell me how to run my contest either. i will toss my scent on whatever poem i want when i want. and if i like the smell of myself i'll do it again and again -
A whiner would be a person who would complain to everyone who does this, I only made mention of it here 'cause I thought you were better than that.
I know "you make detailed comments on poems" -- which is why I said that comment, which didn't say that you were coming back to make an additional comment -- was a shitty comment.
I would never do such a shitty thing to someone. Whether I know them or not. -
If this is how you will be conducting your Contests in the future, then I will disclude myself from all of them right now. If I am currently in a Contest of yours, I'll be removing that piece shortly.
-
Well if you would have asked me instead of being a retard you might have known that I changed the way I'm doing things on this contest. Instead you whined.
No you'd rather toss people out of contest because "you can" and without commenting. Dork. -
this is the only contest i have running. knucklehead. -
You're right. I won't make a shitty comment as you did on probably everyone's entry above, I'd just remove it. I wouldn't waste their time nor mine. I wouldn't put "I read this" and then remove it and leave. Or "I read this" and that's it, I'd continue the comment in the same breath.
How the hell is anyone to know you're going to be coming back and commenting on the poem if you leave such an assinine comment as "I read this poem per the Contest" whateverthefuck you wrote? It didn't say anything about you coming back -- it just said you read it and that was it.
What a fuckin' great comment that is -- that, as mentioned above, a lot of Contest Holders make that actually didn't read the poem or read that's their comment.
Why do I need to ask you? I at least put it right there in the beginning what I will and will not do, I don't change my mind during or after -- THAT is retarded, you dork.
Edited on May 29, 1:40 p.m. because ''. -
I entered two of your Contests, I forgot you already judged the other one and I had already removed and deleted that poem.
-
Yes. Definitely. Okay. Right.
Why does everything you post come through twice? You got finger twitches or something? You going to any BBQ's or anything? I got to go to one across the street later on. Should be fun though.
I am not retarded in all matters but yeah, I'm a Dork. I usually reserve the name Dork for those I kind of enjoy. So hopefully you didn't take that as an ad hominem or whatever the hell that thing that causes so much trouble is about.
I didn't think there were such rules for contests -- as to having to spell it out so explicitly. I change my mind all the time, the last contest I did with Slick - while re-reading all the poems I found stuff I liked I didn't on the first read.
I thought I was being respectful, actually, letting people know I was reading them. Thought never crossed my mind I was being a retarded, dork.
-
I thought my comment on that was pretty good. -
If anything's coming through twice (as in a second display of one of my comments) then it'd be the website, not me.
"Thought never crossed my mind I was being a retarded, dork. "
Perhaps you're not to others, and perhaps you're not to me, I just detest those comments 'cause of the two things it constantly displays to me; on my entries and others. Plus, it's not a comment on the poem, it's a comment that you read the poem which isn't the same thing, it's something that doesn't say anything, and I find it quite rude of people and all that you weren't like the type of person who'd leave such an assinine comment as that.
I delete all comments that aren't on my poems, 'less it's an additional comment in reference of the poem, or in discusion of it.
If I didn't remove my entry, I still would have deleted your comment. -
Well thats good to know. Truly I thought one of the big gripes around here was people judging without actually reading poems - so I was attempting to let people know I was reading. I didn't really think commenting after was such a big deal - when Desi and I did contests we often commented after judging. So much has changed though.
I'll add a note to the contest that I'll be commenting on all pieces after judging. You can delete anything you want here --and I've come to appreciate that.
-
"when Desi and I did contests we often commented after judging.:
Not exactly what I said. I just stated in the manner in which you commented, I don't comment on poems, I don't even view poems 'til after it closes. Except during the 10k Contest.
-
I don't either. Usually. View poems until after it closes. -
::: clink :::: ... hope you are enjoying the read ...

cheers!! and thank you ..I was definitely inspired and that's what it's all about .. .. I hope the hours of staring over these ..gave you lots of enjoyment..
Congratulations to everyone.. who got mangled..

I love pouring -- I hate having to pick. I'm just really bad at excluding people who come out and get inspired.

It's too bad about the not hosting anymore thing but I do understand. Congrats to all and to Lisa for being ever the graceful hostess. -
of course you all did -- you know good poetry when you read it. yes?
-
I hope so, but sometimes I get into disagreements with people who also "know good poetry"
