This is the 1st contest I've run and basically I just want to read good poetry. Any type of poetry is ok with me, got an awesome haiku great, have a steamy erotica make me sweat, have dark words that make me feel your pain more power to you, got a love poem that makes me feel warm and fuzzy bring it. Whatever it is you feel like writing I feel like reading so feel free. Any form is fine by me from free verse to
a wittian to rhyming to a cinquain to a haiku to a sonnet to an acrostic love them all so feel free and show me what you got.
Rules:
1. ALL entries must be 20 lines or less 1 line over and I will throw it out.
2. No sticky caps they are annoying
3. Im not a spelling whiz but try to keep everything spelled right a mistake here and there is fine but keep it within reason
4. I am them sole judge of all entries
5. Be creative free verse is great but I love form poetry
Have fun and good luck to all of you!
