I'm going to be straight with you right now. This contest will my my most strict contest of all due to the pieces I'm looking for and my recent experience. If I feel you're poem does not fit I will remove it, however i will notify you and you will have the opportunity to tell me why you think it should not be removed. I will then take it into consideration and make a decision from there.
Now for the contest.
-->Piece on suicide
-->I want it to be about your mother ot father
-->Close family will do too
-->Attempts or success and aftermath
-->Pieces to help deal with it
I Have just gone though this experience with my mother. I don't want to get into it, but if you really want to know for a poem IM me, Ill tell you the story.
Here are the rules.
-->No StIcKy caps
-->No ALL CAPS
-->No chat lingo
-->Write in Authors Comments or IM me who its about.
-->Ill allow pre-writes BUT it has to fit the theme.
-->Check out my poem on this subject. allpoetry.com/Poem/2133960
Since this contest means so much to me I would really love to give all winners points, but the problem lays here. I don't have enough to give to all the winners. If anyone could PLEASE donate some points towards this contest it would be soooo much appreciated.
As it stands now first will get 300 points. If I can gather enough I will give an unknown amount of points to second and third and possibly more to first if I have enough.
I can't wait to see the turn out of this contest. I hope its a good one.
Points donated:

ah I am so sorry to hear that you went through that. I myself attempted to take my own life last year. Two people, my bf and dad toook me to the er. when you are in a state of mind such as that you really don't consider the loved ones around you. and if you do you think you being dead would be better. i know that isn't true, its jjust the depression taking over. i hope you heal and your family works it out. i did with loved ones helping. i wish you the best for i have been there. my bf's older brother succeeded at suicide. it still hurts him to this day. take care~Natsumi

im not sure how to do much on this site at the moment... how do I donate points... I'd love to...
-
so sorry to hear about your mother. i'll donate a hundred points, best of luck with the contest and the months to come.

I'm sorry about your mother. I can relate, in the last 7 months mine has attempted twice
. and last year my cousin succeeded 
so I kind of know how you feel
I've also attempted many times myself, when you're in that frame of mind you don't think about the after-effects. death becomes an all emcompasing entity, ruling your life and seeming almost logical. you start to feel that your death will help others, that you are only holding them back, and that they dont care anyway, feeling that it is only their guilt that makes them think they care.
anyway... I'm ranting a little here... I would donate some points, but i have a contest running at the moment so cant really spare any
I'll see if i can come up with anything for the contest.

That was a poor contest... My piece wasn't even looked at. whatever.
-
Celph, I explained in the Final Notes that I did not comment on all pieces and I was aware of that. Your piece was read and evaluated just as closely as the others. Ive been really pressed for time and I did not have the oppertunity to comment on all pieces but i did read them all. This is not my first or second or even my 10th contest for that matter. I know how to hold a contest and how to judge it. This was done the same as all my other contests only I didnt have the chance to comment on all poems.

Well, parond my arrogance but I just feel like the piece that won was so far below par it was rediculous. I woulnd't even care if I lost to a well written poem... but whatever. Later days.
