***UPDATE....I'm holding the contest into August....more enteries...higher points....this time no PREWRITES (except the ones that are already enter of course)
I'm Dealling with some home issues so I'll be able to check out the poems later on this month....I want to be able to really read all the poems....
Thanks for the consideration.
I’m holding another contest…Called The Cries of Society
So I decided to hold the same type of contest…but a more light hearted view of gruesome issue’s in society today.
So what I’m looking for are clever and witty writes that still are mature and educated writes
I would love writes that are full of imagery and metaphors
Make me laugh…but stump me…But still teach me something
Sometimes we have to laugh out our selves and society
Same rules apply here as it does is the other contest
So does the topics….
But this time you are allowed to make pop culture references….make a stab at celebrities
[Since I’m lazy here is the link]

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on August 2, 2007
- Rewards: Gold: 300, Silver: 150, Bronze: 100, Honorable mention: 13 people
- Final notes: I'm so sorry it took me so long to judge the contest...I was going thru some things in my life that I needed to push back the date.
I reall did enjoy this contest and I think everything that was said and given was witty but also made a point! If I could I would reward everyone....everyone did a great job....
Thank you again for being patience with me and entering my contest...I hope to read more of you great poets work...
