The Muse

SO this is my first contest and I hope that this will go well. Now that this is my first contest I want to see what you have.

Rules:

1: I don't like bad words but I will let them in but remember to be good about it not to much

2: erotic poems I can not read on this site but if you want to post them then put it in your notes not Categories part

I'll let a lot slide because I want to read your best work. I love poetry and art so what I would love is something to make me think.

If you have more questions message me.
Thank you!!!

  • Roses are red, violets are blue.
    A loveletter, but intends to turn a simple verse into a deeper writing. A complaint about how poems cant always capture what you feel.
