Time for another contest.
I’m feeling lazy so give me what ever you want.
Any (tasteful) subject, any format.
Just no crap, or I’ll delete it.
Tips:
Tasteful means no suicide/cutting, no whinning teenage rubbish, nothing offensive, nothing aggressively religious etc.
Erotica and swearing allowed in moderation.
I hate cliché.
Poetic device doesn’t hurt.
Use a spell checker.
Any questions, just ask!
I reserve the right to delete and/or disqualify any poem that I feel is not suitable without warning.
Ready….set…
Go!
UPDATE: Seriously now, if you enter rubbish, I'll throw it out! Sorry to be harsh and all, but I know you can do better...yes, YOU can!!
You'll know if you have a chance of a place because I'll put your entry in the finalists.
Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on August 5, 2007
- Rewards: Gold: 300, Silver: 100, Bronze: 50, Honorable mention: 2 people
- Final notes: Thanks to everyone for entering.
I have chosen the winners and honourable mentions based on what poems I thought were the best.
I looked at originality within the subject, concepts, poetic device, spelling/grammar, use of appropriate format...Just the usual stuff really.
I've commented honestly on all entries and I appoligise if I offended anyones poetic ego, but I started the contest harsh so I'll finish it in accordance.
Thanks again to all entrants.
Congratualtions to winners.

Can I write what runs through the mind of a person being executed? too grusome?

Erm it may be a little too graphic yes. I mean theres the option of toning it down, but it would probably spoil the effect and the believability.

I wrote a sonnet ^_^ I've been wanting to write one again for a while and your background here gave me the inspiration

Great. I'm glad you found inspiration. This was supposed to be an anonymous contest though.
