Write about love-- any kind. Be original.
I'm accepting prewrites, though I'd certainly prefer if it was a fresh write. Feel free to reserve a spot.
I'll comment on poems that make me want to comment. I reserve the right to offer critique, but you don't need to take my opinion as law.
I tend to like poems with imagery and well-thought-out extended metaphors, but I also have a soft spot for simplicity and straight-forward styles.
Please rhyme ONLY if you are capable of doing it well.
Points will go up if I'm impressed.
Remember: originality is the key here.
Closes at my discretion.
