Well, I haven't held a contest in a while...and I have some points just laying around so I thought I might start a contest.
I should just get to the poiny so here it is:
I want a poem about fear, which provokes fear in me --
Whether it is a fear you have now, a fear you had as a child, write in present tense, past, in third person, first person - I don't care. Just make me feel the fear, make me tremble.
What I DON'T want:
1)Erotica.
2)Gore/Fantasy/Mythical creatures - unless it is what you feared as a child but I dont want you to make the creature to be real!!!
3)More than one entry by the same person.
4)Sticky Caps
5)A poem that talks about fear in general, such as "When I am afraid I feel..."- Or I will DQ you!!!! I want to be in the moment of your fear!!!
If you want some inspiration you may take a look at my poem "Unfearless".
Feel free to im me if you have any questions.
I guess thats it...sorry the points are small, I don't have much, after this contest I will have none...But I don't care, I love this site and I love poetry!!!
Well enough rambling, get to writing!!! I can't wait to read your work!!!
