blood is a common image in poems-
too common
can you do something original in less than 20 lines?
rules:
1) in twenty lines or less, a poem somehow relating to blood
2) do NOT use the words blood, knife, drip, red, bond, life, and death
3) no cutting poems
simple as that
for a good example of what i'm looking for,
have a glance at this previous contest i held:
allpoetry.com/Contest/2111801
its the same format, only tears.
i really suggest checking it out,
its probably the easiest way to see what i'm looking for.
any questions, just ask
good luck!

Great contest idea. I saw the title and description and an idea popped right into my head. Then I saw that "blood" is forbidden. Oh well. I still think this is a wonderful idea. I hope you get some fantastic and unique poems.

Great contest idea x3 I'd enter, but my writers block is a bit too fierce on my right now.
Blessings!

Oh, yes, I remember the tears contest and the "slow lament" it inspired me to write. This contest really asks of us to be very original once more. Will bookmark and see if my muse loves me enough. Best wishes!

congratulations on your contest. Gold went indeed to the best, most original piece, although I thought the silver went to a piece which is practically a lesson in cliches....
best,
