Ok, so I've been away for a while and I thought hosting a contest would be the perfect way to get back into the swing of things.
So, onto the contest. Don't let the title fool you, I'm not looking for heart wrenching, soppy 'he dumped me and I can't live without him' type poems. I want angry love poems, poems about bad times in relationships; how did you get through a time of betrayal? I wanna feel the anger, the hurt. I wanna hear what you did in the situation, did you move on or seek revenge? Split up or work through your problems?
These don't have to be real, and they don't have to be like the suggestions above, I just want to see the dark passion side to love, the struggles we've all faced in the quest for our own happy and perfect relationship.
On to the rules I guess -
I perfer rhyme, but you don't have to enter a rhyming poem.
Songs, including rap, are fine. But they have to be well done, I want to be able to feel the beat as I read. If you don't do this well, I will tell you! If you do it well, I wil be very impressed!
All forms are welcomed.
Anything goes, as long as it's tasteful and marked accordingly.
I will ask one thing, please don't have dark/hard to read backgrounds; I struggle reading off the computer as it is!!!
Well enjoy,
Webber
EDIT ** Sorry for the late comments, some people have removed poems and I guess it's because of the delay in comments. All entries will recieve a comment and fair judgement, although some may take longer. Please don't remove any entries, and I'm sorry to those poets who removed their entires, if in deed it was because of a delay in the comments.

Well I read your edit note..may I suggest..please never chase the poets who remove their poems or never chase the host who remove others poems..this is kind of unhealthy approach in the community of the poetry and they should be kept out from the sacred voyages of the poetry my friend..don't feel guilty..

are you going to be allowing pre-writes in this contest. I have a perfect one for it.
