Comfort

If you are a friend, let me know.

(Anyone is a friend, even if we don't know each other.)

I want to read something (or several things) beautiful and comforting.

That's all. Thanks.

Feel free to cheat and re-post a prewrite if it's appropriate.

I comment honestly, please do not be offended.

Only really good poems will win; please edit and spellcheck.

Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on April 4, 2007
  • Rewards: Gold: 400, Silver: 200, Bronze: 100
  • Final notes:
    Thanks to all who entered. This was truly, by far the best contest I've hosted. All of the finalists deserve a good read (or two). I'm sorry I couldn't award the bronze equally for 3rd and 4th place, or I would have.

      what I mean is that if you have a poem that is wildly appropriate and simply must be entered but it is a prewrite, then just copy and paste it as a new poem. I'm not allowing the "easy way" of selecting prewrites because in my opinion, it leads to a surge of people just entering poems without much thought.

    TO BE OR NOT TO BE !!

    I am against cheating so if you will accept prewrites then say to but to suggest cheating is ludicrous and makes one wonder about the validity of the whole contest. Please advise which is happening, are they allowed or not ???

    I have something to write. I don't know if it is good but it is comforting. I need to wake up some. Then I'll put it from the ether where it sits.

    Is it OK to post more than one? I didn't see anything about this in the guidelines, but I want to keep it simple and ask. Thanks for your time.
