As to figure out who I should add to my list of references... what I want to see is your personal best of anything. Although some of you might want to do a background check to see what I might enjoy reading... it's not exactly necessary. Just feel free to submit any style as I'm trying to get a grasp at what's out there. The more "creative" it is... the better your odds are at winning.
BUT, please catagories your entries properly. This is a contest meant for everybody to enjoy.
I will try my best to give as many indepth comments as I can.
I believe it would be fair for me to say that it is quite a challenge to get a grasp at some of the sophisticated poetry submitted as they may very well be worth gold considering I feel the need to be more educated as to what makes poetry great. Mostly, I want to see some sort of style rather than only the message itself. A form... a rhythm... a structured rhyme... a play on words... a strong use of metaphors... maybe something like...
"I am far from those typical"
... a numerical arrangement... maybe even a sporatic numerical arrangement... or whatever of the sort. Sooo... I have decide to make a suggestion which I hope helps me to learn how to improve on my own ability to write poetry...
Please indicate in your notes what is your style although it's not necessary to do so, but it might help me fall in love with what's there. Thank you.
I hope nobody here will get upset or discouraged... my main aim is to find what suits me which in turn may help others acknowledge you.
