I want to see your personal best. i don't care when it was written, i don't care if you write it on the spot, i just want to see the best you have to offer.
some quick rules-
1.i do not care how you type, if your grammar is poor, and if you have misspellings. POETIC LICENSE! still its if it relates to the piece...
2. also don't care about spacing or line breaks.
3. don't care what the topic is, don't care about length.
4. if you wish to comment on other peoples works, i do encourage you to do so...it will not, however, effect judging.
5. i will comment on everyones piece.
6. i will be judging this on poetic talent; that is,
-skill of writer
-originality
-creativity(not the same thing as originality)
-flow
-poemyness of the poem (NOT A SHORT STORY!!!)
-wow factor
-personal appeal(smallest and least important)
- emotion
7****. i forgot this one originally...(sigh) ONLY ONE ENTRY A PERSON!!!!! i have modified the contest to mirror this.
*******CLOSED********
i really cannot comment on each piece. i apologize, but there are simply too many pieces and i do not have the time. if i do not comment on yours, assume that it was fairly unremarkable and didn't warrant special attention. :~D
