WELCOME TO THE FIRST ROUND OF "RIDDLE ME THIS"
This is my 5th contest, not like it matters anyway. I want riddles in the form of a poem, I want to try to figure out what your writing about. Since I love riddles I figured I'd make a contest on them. Simple contest really, ill explain it again...........Write a riddle in the form of a poem. Dont tell me or write the answer in the comment box, well, you can if you want, im not gonna read them until judging so it makes it fair. If you choose not to put your answer on the bottom please dont forget it. SO FAR IVE HAD A BIG PROBLEM WITH ORIGINALITY, IVE SEEN ONE POEM THAT IHAVE HEARD BEFORE, PLUS IT WASNT IN POEM FORM, SO PLEASE BE ORIGINAL. IF YOUR PIECE IS NOT IN POETRY FORM YOU WILL NOT MOVE ON TO THE NEXT ROUND. THE NEXT ROUND WILL BE A RANDOM TOPIC, NOT ANOTHER RIDDLE CONTEST.
~_~_~_RULES~_~_~_~
1. You can write in any form, write about different things, people, objects, places, i just dont want to read about a person on every entry.
2. No sticky caps
3. No restriction on language
4. Please contact me if you have any questions
5. Please make it readable, dont have dark letters with a dark background please.
6. You get to enter 2 items just to see if your good enough to make my next round.
7. *Be original, i dont want to read riddles that i might have heard before and put them in poetry form, dont just write it out, after all this is a poetry site.*
Since I have over 1200 points each round will be worth more points. I will choose who will move on to the next round. More details on that when the time comes.

well was gonna enter but then you said please don't forget the answer...well I try hard not to remember anything so that I can't be accused of forgetting it...now am stumped on what to do...enter and reveal the answer or not enter and forget it...lmbo
Great Idea for a contest dear, can't wait to read some of the entries.
Hugs, Suzi -
You've got quite a few entries, being that this is a new contest. cool. i'm not crafty enough to make up a poem to fit the standards and rules of this contest, but good luck!
-
Atleast you get the idea, ive seen a couple ive heard before and theye arent being original. After all there is rule number 7. one more thing for all the enteries...........IF YOUR PIECE IS NOT IN POETRY FORM YOU WILL NOT MOVE ON TO THE NEXT ROUND. tHE NEXT ROUND WILL BE A RANDOM TOPIC, NOT ANOTHER RIDDLE CONTEST.

I had this idea stuck in my head this morning and thought it would make a cool poem and then I remembered seeing your contest and thought you might appreciate something perhaps a little different. Thanks for this contest. I wish you the best, Kj

Whoops, Sorry I won this contest for my poem (i i) but accidentally removed the poem... idiot. My apologies I would repost it here but I don't know how or if it is even possible any longer.
-
Mine where totally original... I don't like taking others ideas I think it's b/s to be honest. Let me know if I go through to round 2! Thanks!!
