Options:
A. Write a poem, then post it here.
B. Do something else, then don't tell me about it.
Rules:
1. Don't make me regret not writing any rules.
If I tell you what I don't like about your poem, it's because I liked your poem enough to really think about it, and then had some thoughts. If you don't want to hear someone else's thoughts about your writing, option B might be a good fit for you.
Go.

You will all get quality commentary, so help me god. I've "judged" this contest, but I am far from finished writing comments. I will come back tomorrow morning (10/13), and bang out a few more.
Thank you all sincerely for entering. What a rush.

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on October 13, 2007
- Rewards: Gold: 999, Silver: 99, Bronze: 9
- Final notes: This is only contest #6 for me, and I can honestly say that I've rarely seen so much good stuff posted on the same page. I read them all a dozen times or more, and I am still struggling to say something well-considered about a lot of them. Regrettably, I've not commented everyone yet.
Here are the trophies, but that's not all I've got to say. Please allow your poems to stick around long enough for me to enjoy saying something about them.
It makes me feel pretty good that so many good writers chose to show up to this contest. My thanks to all of you.
~Morgan

Bookmarked. I'll probably go with option 1. I have a buncha half-poems scattered around. This looks like a good home for one of them... (after I find the other half, of course).
-
-
Excellent.
Please do ... but don't tell me which poem is yours. -
-
LOL I'll not tell... but I've found that people recognize my writing fairly easy. I'm starting to wonder if I'm too predictable...

It's called style, it's nothing to be ashamed of!

reminds me of a contest I held- all I said was "Order a Cup of Latte"...
you wouldn't believe what consternation and confusion there was! lol I said, "Hey, your the poet..." -
I am so in!
-
So glad I posted this contest.
Keep 'em coming. This is going to be a real bitch to judge, and I am looking forward to it. -
'B. Do something else, then don't tell me about it.'
lol I take it you don't like having people come by and say 'Oh! I'd love to come but I can't because my muse is asleep/dead. But thanx for invite and I'll swing/drop by to read the other great entries'?
My my. For myself, I would tell those that said that in my contests.. 'Ah, don't worry. I'll hold the contest for you....'
Hmm.. But it would seem they would stutter and shrink out then.
People seem not to know, that manners are only good, if you mean them in an honest face, and not if you're just using them to make yourself look good. On the other hand...
'Rules:
1. Don't make me regret not writing any rules.'
~sigh~ Sometimes you take all the fun out of things Morgan... lol

I love the non-rules. I feel a poem bubbling inside. Maybe it will make it to the surface before the contest is over.
-
Sorry ...
but I don't have time to write anything now. Good luck with the contest though.

Nice Contest
Congratulation to all the winners. Thanks for hosting. Take care, Sandy

Thank you for the bronze. Congrats to Horus8 and jantastic.
The poems in this contest are kick-ass. Congrats on an excellent turn-out. -
Well, considering the company that I'm familiar with, truly an honour to be deemed trophy-worthy. Thanks Morgan.
