I have hardly read any actual recent literature about and independent woman, or a badass woman or cool women. I like these kinds of women, because they show that they have no authority of man over them or because they tend to be really cool. Write me a poem about one of these women, but if you want a better chance at winning, you'd best follow these rules:
1. Don't bash the character or actual being in any way.
2. Don't discriminate against men or women in poem.
3. You can use sticky caps, but it can only be for dramatic improvement.
4. Nothing about someone in politics or monarchy (as in Queens and politicians).
5. You can cuss, but keep it to a minimum, unless it makes sense when you cuss.
6. No profanity, since it's not needed.
7. It can be a FICTIONAL character, but it has to be either a musician, athlete, or just a completely independent, cool, or badass character (you can use all three).
Kinds of characters I like more:
1. Tomboy/Badass
2. Rebel
3. Rock Singer
4. Just Plain Cool
5. Don't Need No Man
EDIT: I'm now accepting pre-written poems. But don't let that think you'll have a better chance at winning, though. So make sure you pick the best one if you choose to do so, so you'll have a better chance. HA HA HA...
I now lengthened the contest to end on September 7th, so I can see what else I can get... even though a lot of the entries were amazing... I'm still hoping for a couple more.

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on September 17, 2007
- Rewards: Gold: 400, Silver: 300, Bronze: 200, Honorable mention: 9 people
- Final notes: I'm glad about the high amount of people who entered this contest. I chose the ones who won because they best represented the idea of the contest, that being Cool, Independent Badass Women.
My co-judge, PhantomsEcho (my real life sister, Holly), picked Cut-Throat Clare, so I handed that writer a bronze. I let PhantomsEcho pick out a main trophy winner so she would be happier.
I hope the winners are all satisfied, but all the ones who didn't win aren't angry, because all of the entries were really good. You all did a good job.
I look forward to all of y'all entering my future contests!!!

ok so i love the title of this contest
its great -
Hi,please would you kindly let me know if you open this up to prewrites later on,many thanks
-
yep i like this

I do believe I know what it is that you are looking for in this contest [especially since you mention women in sports and or rock musicians. Maybe the term "badass" does not apply as much as possibly accomplished , succesful and driven. I am not sure how "badass" they are , but I do know that many exist that have accomplished it all on their own merits. I am not against that word
but it brings to mind a woman on a Harley [and yes I even admire those and have ridden one] but I hope what you mean....a Harley and as they are driving along the road sticking the middle finger at anyone that even as much as looks at them and make you feel as if they will get off that bike and beat you to a pulp. Please take this comment in the geste it was meant [humourous-it is not meant to offend you in any way] The term just created this funny visual

I'm a huge tomboy. Always have been. And I'm independant as hell, so you can count on my entry.

Well, thanks for all the entries. I hope to soon get more of them. I thought that some people would like the contest, but I wasn't sure about how many.
To Painted Paris Passion:
Thanks for liking the contest. I hope you make an entry.
To Miss 2 U:
I'm now accepting pre writes, if you would still like to make an entry.
To Cherche-D-Ame:
Well, I don't take it to offend me that this is 'GESTE' but I don't really know what that means anyway. Anyway, what you said that I'm thinking about, it's not exactly what I'm talking about, but you could post something on a woman like that if you wish.
To Anonymous Shadow:
Thanks for telling me about a couple authors, and believe me, I'm not faint hearted. I might try reading those books.
To Zillion:
I will be looking forward to your entry. May you be just as good at sports and other stuff as I think you are. JUST KIDDING! -
Love it contest! im going come up with something. hope you like it.
