** EDIT: All entries that do not have a chance of winning, will not waste my time.
(in short, I mean, they're disqualified)
DO NOT enter again. If your best wasn't what I liked, then I don't think I'll like your other poems
Well well well,
So you're all back here to another one of my contests
This is gonna be the most easiest one I promise..
In a few minutes, after this contest is up and running, I will go through my favorites list and take out everyone who is NOT in my allpoetry family, but mind you, I have a long-ass family.
What I am looking for are top-notch poets to decorate my favorites list and I want absolutely THE BEST.
This time, I will accept both rhyme and free verse. Free verse has never, until this date, impressed me and very few will be able to do so today.
But, go for it, I've seen great poetry written in free verse, and will not mind more.
So what you have to do? It's so simple. Give me your best write. Prewrite, fresh write, it doesn't matter. I don't look at those things much anyway. Just give me your best.
No, you do not have to type silly little things in your author's comments because those are for idiots who assume that, that bullshit will assure you of the rules being read.
What I do want is,
I've been contemplating on changing my pen-name.
I've decided that I will stick with what I have because well, love doesn't exist for my anymore.
Though, I'm deciding on:
Never Fall in Luv
or
Never Fall in Love
So down at the bottom of all the crap that I have written, leave a comment with your preference. It's not necessary, but I would luv/love your opinions.
A few guidelines:
- I ADORE dark poems. Give me it, and you'll make me so happy that I'll want to write a happy poem (ughh, that is so messed up)
- I HATE people who can't use capital letters to start their sentences. It's frustrating to see that the capital letters have mysteriously evaporated and have left no trace behind.
- A love poem should come in at it's own risk. They make me sick unless I'm in the mood for it.
-Oh, and definitely no religion. At all. No exceptions. If you want to talk about how good god is, or even how bad, trust me, I don't want to know.
Rules:
1) Don't let me find out that you can't type. (for the slow of mind, ThIz iS WAt iM tAlKiN bOuT)
2) All caps make me angry. When I get angry, I throw things away, for example, your entry from this contest.
3) One write per person.
There can only be ONE best.
4) My family members CAN enter. If you win, great. If you don't, I love you anyway.
5) If I sound like shit, you may make me aware of it. You may also order me to go to sleep. But I may not listen to you.
6) Points may increase.
7) Nothing, I just like this number.
Sincerely [I am not yours, eww],

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on August 14, 2007
- Rewards: Gold: 450, Silver: 250, Bronze: 150, Honorable mention: 12 people
- Final notes: Woah, after all that reading ... I finally judged this contest.
Most of the entries were great, though as time passed by, I felt worse and worse anout myself and currect situations ... so I needed not only dark poems ... but the best.
I didn't comment on all, and that is my fault. But I did read everything atleast twice. I added another judge to help me .. but in the end, I decided against it ... this is my favourites list ... no one else should decorate it.
Congrats to all the winners. I believe I chose my winners according to personal relation, emotion, flow, rhyme [in some cases], imagery and effort.
The first seven on the list could have easily taken a place in the top three .. so and extra thanks to you guys. Those after the first seven are listed in no order whatsoever.
I have added my favourites ... those who are added, will know themselves.
All the best, look out for more of my contests [I have one running now]

Chandni, no contest of yours is EVER easy. *laughs* But I'll see what I can whip up for this. Al though no promises because I've hitten a writer's block. I got the bump on my head to prove it.
Take care. I love you sis.
Justin -
-
lol, all i need is a prewrite
-
-
I dunno which one is my favourite, or my best
-
-
-
My opinion.
This sounds like fun. I shall have to find a worthy entry...if at all possible. I think you should stick w/ Never Fall in Luv. That way, if it happens by mistake you have left an out. No one can say you were wrong. Besides, do you wanna see that nasty four letter word every time you post something? I didn't think so. -
I like never fall in love... im old fashioned that way, it sounds more concrete in my mind.. altho my mind is a lil warped so take my advice at your own risk
-
I like Luv. Dunno why, seems more real
-
I like Never Fall In Luv..it's really cute and I just like it.
-
the feeling 'never fall in love' is utter non-sense..''it is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all'...
-
-
Try falling in love. Doing nothing but losing. And in the end find out that what you went through was fake. And that you don't matter to the person anymore. Add on to it that he never meant it when he said love. And every goddamn person says "I love you" without meaning it.
Think about it, then think if you want to talk to me. My name is my personal preferance.
-
-
I like Never Fall in Love.
-
Pen Name
I would go with Never Fall In Love -
Guilty
- I HATE people who can't use capital letters to start their sentences. It's frustrating to see that the capital letters have mysteriously evaporated and have left no trace behind. -
-
lol, if the non-capital is intentional, that is alright.
But the ones as if you're just plain lazy to push down that 'shift' button. That's non-acceptable, I'll see if I find an example for you, I should have some in my last contest. -
-
-
Hmm.. alright. I donno if my poetry counts or not. I'll enter my prewrite and you can let me know when you read it
-
-
I've read yours, I don't find any problems...
-
-
-
that's how i write all the time ryan 
-
-
I like 'Never Fall In Love'...I just prefer it when things are spelt correctly. Abbreviations like 'Luv' bug me...but that's just a personal thing, go with what you like better. =]
And just so you know, not everyone says 'I love you' without meaning it, I never say it unless I mean it, but when I do, I always end up getting hurt anyway, so I agree with everything else you said about love.
Anyway, good luck with the contest!
Madison xoxo -
Never Fall In Luv has a sweet ring to it...
I would go with it
-
name change...?
what about something like: neverfallintolove... that'll confuse 'em...
cheers n frothy beers m-d 
-
Never fall in love. Correct spelling is always best.
-
I personally like the name Never Fall In Luv however; I wouldn't encourage this because with the right person, love can be a beautiful thing
now i have to ask what's wrong with starting sentences in lower case? that's how i write MOST of my poetry
although it is not for laziness, it's just how i have written for the last 35 years
good luck with your contest. be well and be blessed
p.s. see, i rarely even capitalize me I's
-
-
If it's not for laziness, enter it, if I'm disturbed, I'll be sure to let you know
-
-
LMAO! Okay, well I will return for this one after I decide which is my best.
I love the disappearing capital letters. I hate that too, so yeah, it made me laugh. Along with most everything else you have written on here. Anyway, will return shortly. I write mostly free verse so hopefully I can impress.
Amy -
-
I Look forward to reading your write
-
-
Oh yeah! I like "Never Fall In Love". I don't know, I just am not a big fan of shortcut words, slang, or all that fun stuff. Have fun judging and I hope you get many amazing writes to read.
-
Gee baby, you're getting tons of entries and a lot of them are crap so I won't bother you with another one, you'll have enough to do reading all these. You should have put a limit on the number of entries.
Love,
Amera ♥ -
-
*starts to cry*
My love, I knew a lot of the entries would be absolute crap, and that's why I didn't want to put a limit on the entries. I figured, I should get almost everyone in.
However, I don't have any time for reading crap stories (I won't bother calling them poetry) So, if the poem looks like crap, it's out.
Oh and by the way, if most of them are crap, it's better if you do put an entry I'm sure it'll look like God made it in front of those
Love ya ♥
-
-
Stay with Never Fall in Luv.
-
I like "Never Fall in Love" it gives the impression that you don't really believe in love. *shrugs* Just me, though.
-
I prefer it how it is, as 'never fall in luv' something about it... I dunno.
Anyways I would enter, but most of my good poems are about love. I have one that's kinda dark, but not good.
The only one I can think of, is about missing a family member who died, is that one okay? -
-
Well, it's upto you. I want your best, and if your best is love, then throw it at me.
Honestly, I wouldn't be able to relate with a missing family member ..
-
-
Hi NFIL! I'd keep your AP name as is now for two reasons:
1. I like the uniqueness of the spelling of "luv" as you have it now. It's more memorable because of that.
2. Although people on your FAV List get notification of name changes, I don't think any such notification is sent out to those who keep you on their FAV List, and on the one occasion I temporarily changed AP names, I had lost contact with readers.
Whichever way you go with the AP name, I'll be remembering you both ways though!
Jo -
-
Hmm, that used to be before...
And that's why I never changed my name before, but now, it notifies everyone who HAS you on their favourites list ... so I guess I'm safe
-
-
After reading what you have written I would say that Never Fall in Luv is perfect for you my friend, but keep in mind one should never say never. For never may turn into something else.
-
-
Never ...
Sometimes, it comes to a point where words don't make much of a difference anymore.
Who really knows what will happen tomorrow? Who knows, maybe tomorrow I won't be there - then it'll turn out that 'never' was true...
Let go of that depressing side and you're still left with today. Right now, at this moment, I'd rather not fall in love. Tomorrow is a different day ... so let's decide when tomorrow comes
-
-
I like your current username. It's cute, but spelling it as "love" is less annoying.
-
Never Fall In Love.
Luv & other chatspeak words are just as annoying as caps & over punctuation. haha. -
-
why do I feel like I'm going to change it based solely on your opinion (and others who have said the same thing)
-
-
Forsaken Light
I'll just be lazy here and enter a pre-write-- my first real poem ever, btw... -
I like Never fall in Love. I think that sounds great.
-
"Never Fall In Love" is my fave!
Savvy
oxox -
never fall in love is better. i just prefer proper spelling is all.
-
Never fall in love. Luv is petty, and real love is horribly destructive.
-
I'll enter, and I like how you tell about your contest, very funny.
~Forever in darkness~Lumineso Rosa~ -
Never Fall in Love
I liked this nickname better, the reason being that i think when people use the word 'Love' spelt 'Luv' they mean a lesser version of the real thing, often confused by things such as lust and other misguided forms of 'Love' . So in short, whereas 'Love' may not exist for you, perhaps 'luv' will .....
xx -
Never Fall in Love. Now a days you would experct luv. I also like original and better grammer of words.
-
I hope you like my entry The one I entered was one of my best; this was the one I chose. If you don't like it, just delete it
Jeanette*~
P.S. I like "Love", because I like proper spelling and puncuation with things. But, hey, whatever you like
-
Never Fall In Love, just sounds better for someone who likes proper spelling grammer and capitalization
-
Thanks for an awesome contest & thank you thank you for honourable mention.
By the way, I think 'Love' is the better option for your name -- people tend to take you more seriously when it's spelt correctly. 
-
Phew.
Thank-you so much for the Gold trophy, I am amazed at the amount of entries in this contest compared to my cup, so I have to say I'm very proud of it but shocked. Thanks so much!
Thank-you for the contest & congrats to all the winners.
