Time For You To Take A Chance ~ Round One

*Yep...don't expect me to be commenting for a little while. I assure you all, I will comment on all of your works. However, at the moment, I am swapped by finals. I shall be a senior soon. So...^_^ Be patient with me. I WILL be commenting soon, though.

I know it is taking forever, just bear with me. There was something I have to do first.

**My bad, y'all. I submitted the contest without telling it when the close date was. Wow. Sorry. ^_^

***Two more weeks for those who didn't get the chance to enter. I have a few days off from work coming up and that's when I'll be commenting on all your wonderful poetry! Thank you for entering, everyone.

All I request from you is that you give me your best and, please, none of the following.

- NoNe Of ThIs No MaTtEr HoW cOoL yOu ThInK iT iS! It's really hard to read, kids.

- No Homosexual Bashing. It's just not nice.

- No Saying How Stupid Someone Else's Religion Is.

- N0n3 0f 7415 31743r. I severely dislike it.

- Have fun and give me your best. This is just round one. Not many points will be distributed but I WILL be commenting.


Good Luck Everyone!! ^_^

**there will be more points/ honorable mentions believe me. I just have yet to earn the points for them.

***15 winners will go on to the next round. ^_^
