Show me your talent!

Hey!
So, this is my sixth contest and I’m really excited to read all of your amazing poetry. I’ve decided to not allow prewrites this time around – I did allow them in my previous contests but now I want to try without it. However I will allow them in the few days before the contest closes.

Your poems can be about whatever you want. No options, no subjects no nothing - except it has to be fresh writes.

Rules:
- No chat language / StIcKy LAnGuAgE (If any of this is entered I will give a warning first, but then disqualify if poet does not edit).
- No stories
- Please try to keep it at a reasonable length (No longer than 100 lines)
- No bashing of other poets and their work
- Try to comment on other entries

I will try to comment on all entries, but I will not applause any work.
There is a gold, silver and bronze trophy to pick up, and I might also give out those green trophies.

Good luck!

Snow White Queen <3

    As you can see there are a whole bunch of people in the finalists list, and it's because I had such a hard time deciding. I couldn't move any of those people out. Still I haven't given all of you trophies. 5 people have received a trophy and they are:

    Gold: Untitled
    Silver: Stop and listen, there's enjoyment there
    Bronze: Angel Death Solutions

    Congratulations to the winners!
