Best Poem(s) You Have Ever Wrote

I saw this once and loved the out come. My latest contest was a major disappointment so I want big this time. Good luck to you all.

I want the best that you think you have.
There are no rules
You may enter as many as you want but please don’t enter to many. I won’t know if you did but your writing style tends to seep out and I might be able to tell.

HAVE FUN WITH IT!

Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on June 15, 2007
  • Rewards: Gold: 300, Silver: 150, Bronze: 100, Honorable mention: 4 people
  • Final notes:
    I was very thankful that so many entered this contest.

    I want to thank my co judge for narrowing it down to 7 instead of 38 preliminary finalists

    I very much enjoyed many of these poems and I was glad that some of you entered a reasonable amount of poems.

    I apologize for not having this done on time, I'm one of those people that complain when a contest has ended and not judged..

    thanks again and congrats to all the winners

    and well done to all

    My love... {thanks}

    Hehe

    Well, there seems to be alot of "emo" poets in here which is a tad immature for my taste, but I also noticed one little issue. The title of your contest is grammatically incorrect. It should be "Best Poem(s) You Have Ever WRITTEN." You had two different tenses in the same sentance and that is not correct. I don't know if you can change the title, (or if you want to for that matter,) but it seems to me that you would be getting higher quality entries and more mature entries if you were using proper english.

    Just a hint.

      nobody's perfect in this world. sometimes, we make grammatical mistakes. we get the idea of what it means. whoever knows and wants to enter can enter. if people don't enter because of a grammatical error in the title, then they don't want points that bad.

        Well, this site didn't used to be all about the points. At one point we were all here because we wanted to improve ourselves. I know no one is perfect, the world would be dreafully boring if we all were. I was simply pointing out an error that may have been overlooked. I myself always ask people to help me look for such errors in my work. But then again, I am a perfectionist raised by an english major!! You can see how it would get in the blood. hehe

          If its that big of a deal to people then i can change it, but really I dont see it as a problem.

          I love getting peoples advice, but that just came out of you a little wrong. I believe thats what i was trying to say and wht dawnoflove was trying to say

    Oh goodness.
    I didn't see how many entries you had, now I feel a bit guilty for entering and making your job harder.

    Good luck judging, I hope you like reading the entries! You've got so many of them!
