Okay, So I'm having another contest! Yay for all you contest-obsessed people. =]
My last contest didn't end very nicely as I didn't have much time for it, so I'm sending out a sincere apology to anyone who was upset by that contest. Shit happens, sorry.
Alrighty, on to this contest.
--Content-- I don't mind what genre your poems are, I just want them to be DEEP. Make them light a spark in my mind and give me some INSPIRATION. These poems don't necessarily have to long or short. They can be whatever length you want. Also, I'd really rather no erotica was entered. I'm not looking for that kind of inspiration =P
You know the obvious rules: no annoying type, no rude comments, blah blah.
Okay, THIS IS AN UPDATE (10:14 PM Aug. 11) ALL ENTRIES PLEASE PUT IN YOUR AUTHOR COMMENTS what your meaning of the poem is. I like to formulate my own opinions and get my personal thought out of each poem, but if you write what you were going for, it will help with my judging. (Thus faster and better, which means winners get their prizes SOONER)
Thanks.
UPDATE # 2: This isn't a requirement, but if you get the chance, I'd love if you read and critique my new song. It's called Cry to Me Now. I worked very hard on that one and I would just like to know what people think. Thanks.
UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE: I'M REALLY SORRY for the delay in judging. But something unexpected has come up in my personal life so please bear with my slowness. = / sorry guys!
Anything to ask...comment.
*^*Happy Writing!*^*

AS A NOTICE TO ALL COMPETITORS:
I have read and commented four of the poems in this contest.
It's quite possible I will read/comment more tonight. Do not be discouraged if you're poem has not been read yet. I will READ and COMMENT all of them before I close for judging.
In the meantime, please put in your AUTHOR COMMENTS what your "DEEP" and "THOUGHT-PROVOKING" ideas were that went into these poems.
I know I stated this above, but I'm reiterating myself. I really want to know. It's makes my judging easier and faster, but also gives me interesting things to ponder on.
I will be checking back on all poems for them and if they're not there, I will be asking for them.
I do hope you'll share with me.
Thanks! Good Luck to All! -
Just for you Manipulate, I have made mine short and rather straight forward knowing sometimes strongest messages doesn't have to be very lengthy or highly sophisticated. Hopefully judging this contest will not get you stressed out considering that it's suppose to be fun for all... meaning no person should not become upset with having not to be selected.
