The skull farmers do their rain dance and pray the machine falls to sleep.
She holds me close and whispers wet, 'there are cannibals among us'.
Mad in love with dry dead whores in the backs of abandoned cars.
Smoking the bones of jesus, plotting the murder of love."

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on August 28, 2007
- Rewards: Gold: 900, Silver: 200, Bronze: 150, Honorable mention: 3 people
- Final notes: This was really hard to judge because ALL of the poems were good.
And I don't say that easily.
But it's true.
That and, somehow, the fewer the poems the harder it is.
Especially if they were all good.
And I'm repeating myself.
Anyways,
the four poems that won were absolutely amazing.
You should read them. All of them.
Thanks for entering and good luck in future contests of mine and others!
- To judge this contest, you need to have at least as many finalists as you have rewards. You have 4 awards but only 3 finalists.

Yez...remember me from that? Lol, contest sounds good, been experimenting lately so this will be something to experiment with. While I'm here, I just thought I'd tell you, your writing always reminds me of Radiohead.
-
-
Oh, yes.
I remember you!
And that's kind of funny because for a long time Radiohead was my biggest inspiration, and still sort of is.
Hope you enter.
Well, maybe you already did.
-
-
OOO IM GONNA ENTER JUST GIVE ME SOME TIME TO COOK SOMETHING UP GOOD LUCK JUDGING
-
Some of your quotes could be good poems by themselves.
Ish bookmarked.
-
-
I guess they could.
But only the first one and the last two are actually mine. The others are from songs.
And using those as poems would be illegal.
Hope you enter.
Eventually. <3
