HOORAY another one.
Okay. After I started my LAST contest, I got this CRAZY idea for another one...
I want you to take something that has some sort of stereotype or cliche and write something that is the OPPOSITE of that stereotype.
make something ugly seem beautiful. Like... Garbage!
ORRR make something beautiful seem ugly Like... flowers!
You can also make something cheerful seem depressing (like birdies) or something depressing seem cheerful (like... something depressing...) I need to go now. Winner take all cuz that's all my points. have fun, i'll add rules later.
OKay. NOW that it's LATER...
THIS IS HOW THE CONTEST WILL BE JUDGED
I have created a super-secret brownie point system. You will be awarded super-secret brownie points for certain things and other certain things will make you lose super-secret brownie points. The person with the most brownie points at the end of the contest wins. THAT MEANS YOU CAN WIN EVEN IF YOUR POEM IS NOT MY FAVORITE. Cool, huh?
When I close the contest, I will post the super-secret brownie point system and judge the entries accordingly. SO YOU ACTUALLY KNOW HOW YOU'RE DOING!!!!!! Isn't that AWESOME?????????
SOO...
THERE REALLY ARE NO RULES. Isn't that fun???? (Just bear in mind that on my preferences I have adult items blocked so if it's really bad I won't be able to read it and you lose.)
YAAAAAAAAY NO RULES
ENJOY THE ALMOST-ABSOLUTE FREEDOM AND HAVE A BALL
I know I will!!!!!

How's the judging for this contest coming along?
-Curtis Meyer -
I will indeed do it soon... I won't let it go a month without judging it again. I promise.
-
Can you please judge this contest already, I'm really want to know if I won.
-
Keep your shirt on, I'm in the process... I'm trying to stay totally objective in my judging so I printed out all the poems and am trying to stay away from comments until the results are out. That's what I really wanted to do- stay objective so that non-favorites still had a chance. Don't worry; I'm pretty sure that by this weekend the results will be up.

congrats all

Thank you so much for gold trophy, out of all those fantastic entries and congrats to all other winners.
