So now instead of making a contest where you must write a poem as close to a certain topic, I would like anyone daring to write the:
PERFECT RHYMING POEM.
This poem must have:
1)perfect male and/or female rhymes (no rhyming tame with cane)
2)a consistant beat (whether iambic or trochaic or whatever, I should be able to tell)-it can have different amounts of beats every 2nd line par exapmla, so long as it's a pattern.
3)Proper use of iamb type words... if you want the vocalized beats every second one, put words in it that will MAKE them work (they DO exist)
RULES:
NO FREE VERSE-I will automatically DQ any free verse poems, no comments. If you write a rhyming poem that doesn't flow, I will tell you.
REMEMBER, the goal is to write a "perfect" poem, in form, not content.
NO Erotica
NO Swearing
NO Sticky caps
NO Chat lingo
If it is not spellchecked, I will be ON YOUR ASS!
I'm not a mean guy, so don't be afraid to ask any (contest related) question.

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on March 3, 2007
- Rewards: Gold: 500, Silver: 200, Bronze: 100, Honorable mention: 5 people
- Final notes: Ok guys, thank you all for your entries. Out of the 37 entries, 27 made it in the finalist list... the other 10 really had very little fulfilment of the requirements... and really didn't seem to care about the contest at all. Those who got in the top 27, they all are in order of how I judged them, and if you don't like what position I put you in, remember, this contest was to see who could write the perfect poem according to MY standards, and I judged them based on how closely you followed the rules and requirements!
Congrats on those who got trophies, you definitely deserved them! Can't wait until I can afford another large contest!

Hm...
Not my view of a perfect poem...however, good luck with it. -
-
Of course everyone has their own opinions... but this is mine! Thx
-
-
I have a poem that might fit this but unfortunately it is VERY long. Do you have a line limit?
-
Man this sucks, I really was hoping for more original poems, but so far, only 3/21 are not pre-writes. Oh well, I guess that's what I get!
-
Thanks for placing my poem in the finalists of a great contest.
Conrgats to the winners.
