I Want to remind all of you that rules, while irritating, are very important, please PLEASE make sure to read and follow the rules, not just in this contest, but in ALL contests, it is a great habit to get into!

*Limit the cussing and Erotica, please 

*PLEASE, NO gore or violence, (This includes to oneself,) 

     as there is likely to be younger

     entrants and because it does not impress me.
*English preferred, or at least add an English translation

     if you really must write in another language
*No Sticky Caps or chat speak please
*NO BASHING! Of ANY kind
*Read and comment on at least one other entry
*Please put your screen name in your author's notes 

*Put as many as you like in here, as long as they are new, no matter! 

*If I IM you about something concerning your entry and

     you do not respond in a reasonable time,

     I will DQ the piece in question

Any questions, please PLEASE feel free to IM me,

and above all, give me your best and ***HAVE FUN!!!!***

Contest is Over

  • Rewards: Gold: 300, Silver: 150, Bronze: 75
  • Final notes:
    Thank you all for a wonderful turnout, much better than I dared to hope for! The entries were all imaginative and delightful, sending me on trips all over the place. It was a great way to spend the day, thank you!
    I appreciate those that either followed the rules or responded quickly to my request to comply appropriately.
    I do appreciate those that read and commented on other poems, especially more than one, it is a wonderful thing to do and a great way to find new inspiration as well!

    All of the ones remaining in the finalists list will be invited to an upcoming finalists contest, most likley Thur or Fri after I complete the current one. I hope to see all of you there!
