Do you deserve it?
I am hosting this contest in the hopes that I will receive good poetry. Now because I'm giving away a good number of points I expect and want good poetry. If I do not receive good poetry I shall be very put out.
I am allowing prewrites but they had better be good!
Rules:
1. No swearing or erotica
2. No TyPiNg LiKe ThIs
3. One poem per person
4. Just a hint, I prefer ryming poetry.
5. Prewrites must not be trash.
6. Just another hint, I not a big fan of suicidal because I'll tell you to buck up because I've been there and you don't half to wallow in it.
Write whatever as long as it falls into the rules.

I hope you like mine, and I hope you get many fantastic entries on this. I believe "Though Only a Voice" is one of my best..but I can't say for certain. maybe I'll change my mine and replace it.
anyway, good luck with this contest

Scorge?
pretty negative remark. why insult those who entered your contest?

I'm sorry to hear that you were disappointed in the entries to your contest. Since you seemed so disillusioned by the entries which you received, I was wondering if you left comments to make suggestions, or simply disregarded pieces which were not to your taste.
Just a hint, if you are looking to criticize, "scorge" = scourge, "dissapointed" = disappointed, and "existance" = existence. I try never to act condescending, but it really gets to me when people treat others' words with disdain without taking a second glance at their own. -
Congradualations to the winners and to all, who I believe produced quality work. Best wishes
