This comp is being judged now
You need to read this carefully if you choose to enter. You need to cut and paste the disclaimer into the author's notes when you enter your poem.
This will be closing May 17th and judged and commented by hopefully by June 1st.
This is a once in an AP lifetime opportunity to learn as well as compete but you need to be very quick and thick skinned. There are good writers on this site and there are some exceptional writers on this site. This contest is going to be judged by five of the very best writers and myself.
What’s in it for you?
Apart from sharp rebuke if your writing is not reaching for art, each of these writers have contributed 300 points to this comp.
1800 points available- 1000 to the winner, 500 to second, 210 to third and 30 points each by three honourable mentions. The voting for each poem will be 3-2-1 from each judge as to the one’s they believe to be the best three. Should there be a tie the poem with the most “3” votes from the judges will win.
A word of warning.
I have just hosted a comp and although the bulk of poems were shithouse, those that won were wonderful. But the real word of warning is this.
I know personally that after a deluge of utterly fucked poetry I tend to be a little bit of a bastard when it comes to commenting. If you are offended by personal insult and doubts cast about your writing ability- THIS IS NOT THE COMP FOR YOU.- DO NOT ENTER IT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO HEAR HONEST OPINION EXPRESSED BLUNTLY..
Read how these writers comment and especially where they have not liked something- if you feel you want to run the risk of being on the receiving end of their vitriol, by all means enter. But what you will do is learn something about your own writing, how it could possible be improved and the thought processes of the judges and what they look for when reading poetry.
YOU MUST CUT AND PASTE THE FOLLOWING DISCLAIMER OTHERWISE YOUR POEM WILL NOT BE JUDGED.
I believe my poetry is wonderful and this poem is something I am truly proud of. This entry has never won a gold medal before and if at the time of judging it has mysteriously won a gold, I understand it will be automatically disqualified. I also understand that my poem could be in for an absolute bollocking but no matter what is said, I will not complain to the moderators. This poem is exempt, for the sake of brutally honest comments, from policy 2 – “Comments should be diplomatic. Please attempt to make negative comments constructive and gentle”. – because if the judges hate my poem, they will tell me in their own words why they thought it sucked.
Who are the judges?
Ladies first.

She spends waayyy too much time on this silly site and she might often be accused of loving art and poetry more than her own children. She doesn't know much but what she does she's comfortable sharing and always learning.

Desiree Darkk
I have said this before that if Tom Waits and Dorothy Parker had a love child you would have writing like Desiree Darkk. Her funny and heartbreaking stories are coloured with great one liners, image and some of the best characters I have read in a long time. Has been using AP since 2002.

Lute
This writer is one of the most interesting at AP and a very good critic. Has been using AP since 2003 and is one of the most highly regarded poets on this site.

What a talented bastard. Poet, musician and a true artist. Published poet, recording star with a huge catalogue of CD’s to his name and stud muffin. He brilliantly expresses a range of work and is a great observer of what does and does not make for good poetry. Apart from myself, probably has the shortest fuse when it comes to judging shithouse poetry. Possibly the only person banned more often than myself for letting people know how he feels about them, has been a member of AP since 2003

Just a brilliant poet and certainly one of the most astute critics on AP; he is an object lesson on what it is to write well. Has been at AP in various guises since 2004.

This comp shuts off after 100 entries or one week.
Can have old crap so long as it has never won gold.
Comments by judges will not be posted until all judges have their comments ready and their 1-2-3- votes in. They will have a week to do that after the close.
After all comments have been posted the results will be shown.
There may be moments where judges disagree but no you cannot see the IM’s between us
You may enter any poetry of any style.
One entry only per person
Any subject, any poetry style, prewrites allowed, any language you like so long as there is some semblance to the English language.
It is a blind comp- we do not know how old you are but assume you are adult and therefore will be commented on as if your poem was written by an adult.
YoU CaN trY thiS SHiT If YoU LikE but don’t expect too much except derision.
Good luck
This is a blind comp so don’t put your name down the bottom of the piece.
Try and wow us with your talent. What we would love to discover is some writer none of us has ever heard of, or read before who is just a joy to read. We would be just as happy to read a gem from any number of the great writers this site has on offer whom we already know and love
YOU MUST CUT AND PASTE THE DISCLAIMER OTHERWISE YOUR POEM WILL NOT BE JUDGED.
If this is not done, or it has won gold, the poem will be deleted from the comp without warning
Good luck, we look forward to reading your art.
PS - I personally, not speaking for the other judges, don't give a shit about ornate backgrounds, graphics and what's in the author's notes apart from the disclaimer. Long explanations about the poem, dedications to dead relatives and friends, notes on it’s structure or that the poem carries a hidden message to the rapidly condensing people of planets unfortunate enough to be around Cygnus X-1, I don't care. I cut and paste your poem into word, look at it, them look at it again a week later, make my comment. If it means nothing to me off the page, my comment on your piece may come across as sounding negative.

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on June 3, 2007
- Rewards: Gold: 1000, Silver: 500, Bronze: 210, Honorable mention: 3 people
- Final notes: I would like to thank all those who entered. Despite 80 subjecting themselves to reviews in no time flat that had quickly dropped to 65 as a few took their bat and ball and scathing review and left the comp in a blur. However many who did receive less than flattering review would have gained some insight into their writing and despite a few swift boots, in among the gore lay something that will help. Those who received bad reviews and simply deleted these reviews are fools. Not only will they deny themselves a better insight into how they write they will also get a better barometer on where to improve. All poems that received votes from at least one judge are worth reading- depending which judge you speak to. A poem by Blacknight was received top points from Des and a shudder from Lisa. However when it came to the first two, who received between them nearly 50% of the vote, the winner and second were very clear.
The winner received first place from Ed, Lisa and myself. Second received a first place from Jeremi and seconds from Lisa and myself. Lute voted “My Toe” as his favourite and Des voted “Sake” as hers. I thank my fellow judges for their efforts and I swear I owe each and every one of them for putting them through this.
Eighty entries, both Lute and Lisa could only find 4 poems that deserved votes and quite frankly most of the poems hovered between ordinary and fucking torturous as nearly every mistake in poetry was wheeled out. From plonky rhymes to just plain shithouse writing that were dull, pretentious, flat and generally a dog to read. Before some of the judges had their spirits snapped completely I urge those who want to learn, to read the good poems and read the comments on the bad poems. But above all I urge you to read those who received trophies. Especially the winner which I personally think is a wonderful piece.
A special mention should be made to Unknown Pleasure, writer of Minsk who for most of us is a discovery. It is the reason why I run these comps, to find something new- this writer is indeed an unknown pleasure to read.
Another special mention needs to be made of Whitewinged1 who managed to reveal himself to be one of the greatest tools at AP to crawl out from under a rock. After writing possibly the worst shag poem I have ever read that was so awful it was funny, placing most judges and Blacknight on his ignore list, he behaved like an utter dickhead for the remainder of the comp. Well done fuckwit and an illiterate one at that.
I thank all those for entering and of course my fellow judges for giving up their valuable time and poetry knowledge to judge this with me.

LMAO at the title to this comp
I hope I can enter a worthwhile read for your company of poets to read and impress….It is my hope no verbal tongue thrashing follows….
wait....have you ever heard of me?....am I still allowed to enter? -
I do not envy you folks for all the shit entries you'll be destined to read. I'll see if I can dig something up that either A.) has not won gold, or B.) is lurking in some hidden corner of my muse's mind.
-
-
Speaking of shit
Why don't you get a rag to wipe that stuff you are spewing off your lips ! -
-
You're a funny one; I'm pretty sure you tried insulting me, but I can't tell why.
-
-
We don't want you to TELL why, We want you to KNOW why. Guess you'll be submitting some shitty entries?
-
-
Probably not.
-
-
Probably not ??? Hmmnnn... haven't decided yet huuh?
-
-
I say "Probably not" because I don't plan on entering shitty entries. The one I have entered is one of my personal favorites.
I read your entry--it sucked. -
-
Ya ,maybe ,but i will bet not as much as you do
-
Maybe one day it will dawn on you just what poetry is realy about.And one thing i know for sure that it is not for assholes like you to use for a crutch for your self esteem issues Hey you are what you are and by your categorization of the entries in your first comment It's obvious what that is .By the way your poetry is awesome !!!
-
-
Maybe you'll realize at some point that the majority of those who enter this contest will have entered shitty poems. This is a fact--you can verify this for yourself. Does this mean mine was any good? Hardly, but I'm proud of it; I don't write as "a crutch for [my] self esteem issues." I write because I feel like it.
-
-
The majority of people on AP are not here to" make it big " as a writer. they are here because A. yes they like to write and B. because it is a way and a place for them to express their
inner most feelings C.But most of all it is a place to meet people who they can relate to and who understand them.In layman's terms, they make friends .SO WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU TO CALL THIER PERSONAL THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS SHITTY ? The true artistry of poetry is expression and feelings, and NOT an up to your standards composition of quality ! I will bet YOUR ass you can count all your friends at A.P on one hand. And that speaks volumes about character. It's a fucking good thing i cant reach through this screen asshole -
-
Christ, you really are an idiot.
Did I say most people here are looking to "make it big"? No. Did I try and explain why they come here? No. Did I "CALL THEIR PERSONAL THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS SHITTY"? No, I called their poetry shitty. Again, you can verify this for yourself. There's a big difference you moron. You can't tell me you've never read some horrible, terrible poem and said, "Well, I dunno what good poetry is, so I'm not gonna criticize this atroci--er, masterpiece."
Expressing one's thoughts and feelings is all well and good, but everyone knows they can get better at it and thus improve the quality of their poetry, while still getting across whatever they're trying for. I don't know why I'm even arguing with you about this, considering you're the one pulling statements out of your ass that you seem to think I said.
I have several friends from here, far more than you inferred from my statements. What's funny is that every one of them would agree with me.
Lastly, I would refrain from issuing futile Internet threats because they make you look like an arrogant cock. -
-
I like an arrogant cock.
-
-
Now why does this not surprise me ? Hmmmmm?
-
has a arrogant cock for Edna
lol
-
-
-
Funny. I checked both of your favorite lists out. Whitewinged, you can count yours on one hand. Black night is much more popular...
-
You seem to be impolite. I think I shall block you just in case you ever read one of my fine poems.
-
-
Seem to be impolite ? Open your fucking eyes! impolite no ! Pissed Off yes ! Do your homework Read the messages . This holier than though black night asshole who runs his mouth saying every ones work is shit is a disgrace to poetry and what it stands fore
-
-
I think you will find the last word in the comment should be "for", not "fore". Do calm down, dear, it's bad for your blood pressure.
-
where is the poem you had in this comp, it appears not to exist
-
You're a disgrace to homosexuals.
-
-
LMAO
what about lesboS too?
-
-
"This holier than though black night asshole who runs his mouth saying every ones work is shit is a disgrace to poetry and what it stands fore" -- Is it now? I'm pretty sure people like Plath, Sexton or Poe would be horrified by the "quality" of most poetry on this Web site. It's atrocious and you know it.

-
-
-
-

Is this competition strictly for pre-writes or are fresh writes allowed? Thanks!

-
In order to write, you must first learn to read.
-
-

-
I doubt that either Horus8 or you have been banned more than Edna. I think I recall 6-7 bans plus 7 deleted noms de plume. I shall enter natch.
-
-
Jesus Christ, you must be joking. I've fucked faces worse off than yours sober Edna.

-
you must be fucking joking.... hahahahahhah

hahahahahhahahahahah
funny... funny

hahahhahahaha
good luck to such an esteemed list .... woot woot -
Well, bickering aside, and self-depreciating comments, I'm excited about this contest, and look forward to seeing the results.
-
OH NO!
My heart sinks at the required addition to the comment section. So low, so low. This requirement is only redeemed by the hope that the multiplication of this piece of well-barbed wit will result in fewer entrants with their head up their ass. I, unfortunately, remain skeptical.
Bravo to your choice of judges! -
thank you
I am their love child.
Thank you for including me.
Desiree

Okay people listen. When your poem is told to be shit, could you please not cry to the mods, that's why we have the fucking disclaimer. Just kindly not believe us and crawl back to that world
of bullshit where you're said to be literate and capable of forming a sentence. While here you merely scribble, mumble, and poop on your shoes poetically. The Mods cannot help you fix your shit poetry. I'm sorry, no really, we all are. -
-
Who the fuck dragged you out of your sleep ? Keep your shit in your pile !!! Fuck like your hear to what ? Give opinion on a discussion that passed you bye a week ago.Crawl back under your rock
-
-
You're easilly the cutest little pile of flexed cock I've ever witnessed. How much an hour?
-
Just came by to offer an unbiased opinion. Well, okay, not completely unbiased. I think horus8 is a windbag. Also, I think your attitude sucks nearly as much as your poems - you aren't fit to carry BlackKnight's inkwell. Carry on, though, this is a load of fun
-
-
Of course this is coming from a bag pipe himself.
-
-
Naturally.
-
Goddammit, Jeremi - whitewinged1 put me on ignore! How the hell can I have any fun, now?

-
-
-
-
Gee this is like a satire gone bad
I tried turning the page to read the 7 remaining comments....and to my disappointment...they are not appearing before my eyes ....ok....so ill just have to draw my own conclusion as to which way this commentary ends......perhaps with these words I have jotted the epitaph....LOL....well anyway....this was fun.....I beg of you judges....be gentle with me......I might kill myself if you tell me my poem sucks.

Fuck The Flange man we're at 11!
Listen, the best part of this contest was cruising at a hundred miles an hour grading poetry with one sentence kerplowee's and accidentilly stumbling into another poetry contest (because the contests are so confusing next to the next poem button) NOw, I may be drunk, but that was the best part. Better than monopoly. -
-
Horus strange that is
I think next poem should be placed somewhere else. I thought that only happend to me. If the page is not full screen, you try to click next poem..you end up in la la land. someones profile you did not care to read. Question is? Do you leave a comment? or just back step in discuss after puking. -

My list of winners were awesome, but the chasm between their poetry
and the losers was the fucking grand canyon, no, really. -
Congratulations to the winners - superb choices, especially the gold by Al. I'm glad my poem made the top 12
. Thanks for your efforts and honesty - you did a great job, judges.

Thanks to all the judges for the gold, great contest

Little disappointed that the poem with the ham sandwich didn't get any bling.
Apparently the other judges are not nearly as hungry as I am. -
Thank you sirs and ladies. I'm surprised, really, considering how divided the reviews for my poem were. Anyway, again, thanks.

Congrats to the winners and Honerable Mentions.
Kudos for running a truly fun contest! -

Thanks for the trophy and the comments. I particularly enjoyed whitewinged1's masterclass in how to be an ignorant arsehole.
Well done to AJ Morelli. Lines and Circles was obviously pure class and clearly ahead of anything else here. I knew I wouldn't be getting the gold when I posted my poem straight after that.
My Toe was also excellent, and thank you for introducing me to the work of Blackknight.
I especially enjoyed reading through the critiques the judges posted. Intelligent and honest, normally two qualities banned from the comment box. Interesting to see the number of entrants already down to 52.
