I challenge you

I'm going away for a few days, so I'm gonna set you all a challenge to keep me entertained when I get back.

I challenge you to make me cry.

The winner will be the person who can make me cry or feel the most.
This isn't going to be easy, I don't let go of my tears easily.
So enter your most emotional, painful, heartbreaking poems.
I'm more likely to cry if I can relate to it.
I have a very short attention span.
So you know the challenge, now for the rules:

- No sticky caps or net speak
- Anything goes subject and form wise
- Background information is always good
- The poem has to be full of raw, painful emotion

So there you have it, enter and have me in floods of tears, prove to me I have a heart Lawl, good luck.

Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on August 2, 2007
  • Rewards: Gold: 450, Silver: 250, Bronze: 100, Honorable mention: 3 people
  • Final notes:
    Thank you very much for all your entries, I'm especially pleased with my finalists, though all the poems I received were great. No one managed to make me cry though, so I guess I really do have a heart of stone
    Thanks again, and if I didn't comment anyone, message me and I will =]
