I wanted to try to make a contest that would have rounds. I thought it would be fun. So, just to start it off bring me your best poems of any type or style. I will let you know if you are in the next round!
I'm really excited for this.
Remember anything is good for this part of the contest! Just make sure it is your best.

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on April 7, 2007
- Rewards: Gold: 300
- Final notes: This was super hard to judge, that is why it toke so long. I really did try and write a good comment on all poems but I am not sure I wrote one for every one. If I didn't leave you one than i am really sorry. Okay now about who is in the next round. There are 25 people in the preliminary finalists above and as I am sure you have guessed those are the 25 in the next round.
I would also like to say that other than the first 3 or 4 poems on the list they are not in any particular order.
Congratulations to everyone and thank you for entering my contest. The next round will start between today and tomorrow.
Nikki
I would also like to ask the people continuing to the next round to be sure they know that it is a commitment that you are making to actually finish this contest so if you know you are not going to have time or that you are not going to want to continue could you please send a message my way saying so.
Thanks!!!
P.S. here is the link to the new contest!
