*Update: 5 hours and counting, I am commenting on just about every poem, so feel free to still enter
Welcome to the Painless level. Rules are simple (found below), and I want this to be a record breaker contest, so I am expecting a lot of entries, and with that there will be comments but perhaps only on poems that grab my attention and beckon me to type away, weather it is good or “constructive”. There is one exception, I want your past work that you had hoped to win something with but never did, I prefer not to have previous work that has placed in other contests, however I realize that I may not be able to check on this to enforce so I will leave it up to your integrity
Also the winners from my last contest may not enter, as I am fully aware of how great their work is, however I have created another contest for which you may enter. The Bloodied Knuckles level is open to all especially for my last winners and for the top 10 to 20 contestants will be privileged to participate in the Insane lunatic level
Link to the Bloodied Knuckles level: http://allpoetry.com/contest/2336555
Rules:
·Pre-writes Only
·As Many as you want as long as it has not previously won anything
·No cutting, erotica, bashing, anti-religious, or anything that isn’t a poem
·And please no wrap around story poems, do it properly
Prize for Gold is 300, silver and bronze and HMs may come later.
