Okay, there is this saying my english teacher always tells us, and it is "Show, don't tell" She wants us to show what is happening, show the emotions, show everything instead of just telling about it. I want imagery. If you don't quite understand, just message me and we will talk it out.
So, in this contest, I would like you to show, and not tell me about an emotion. It doesn't have to be a strong one like deathly hate or anything, but I want you to make it seem like it is that way. Again, if you don't quite get it, just message me and I'll try to help you understand.
Alright, now for the rules!
1.No sticky caps please.
2.No erotica please.
3.It doesn't have to be in any specific form
4.Please use the spell check and correct grammar.
5.Please take your time on these, I don't want 5 minute crap.
Have fun!
Oh yeah, I have the right to remove any poem I feel does not fit the description of the contest or any entry that I feel is not winning material.
Sorry, to many prewrites so I'm not allowing them anymore. But you can enter as many times as you want.
