Ok this is a contest about change mainly, but if you can write me something else that is very beautiful than great.
You have two options:
1. Write about change. Your prompt is my poem "For Once":
...after trying to force everything else to change, I saw that the only thing that had changed, was me.
2. Write about the ocean, a sunset, a garden, etc. Make it worth reading.
Rules:
-no sticky cApS
-no erotica
-minimal swearing
-put the number 41 in your author's notes so i know you read the rules. I usually do something like this, but I've never really disqualified anyone for it. This time I will be DQing anyone who doesn't put the number in their notes. it's really not hard to read the rules.
-try and keep it short. I like long poetry, but if you can't keep me interested I'll read it but I probably won't like it.
-I am allowing prewrites because I hate it when people don't, but I expect at least half of the entries to be originals. No pressure though.
-please use proper spelling and grammar! you won't be dq'd, but it gets on my nerves.
-not exactly a rule, but please comment on some of my work since I'm commenting on yours, and try to read some other entries too. it's just polite!

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on September 6, 2007
- Rewards: Gold: 300, Silver: 100, Bronze: 50, Honorable mention: 3 people
- Final notes: Wow...
You all did such an amazing job in this contest. I didn't get any new work this time, but the prewrites were all incredible. I am so impressed. Everyone's poetry was phenomenal, and judging was difficult because of it. I had to add more HMs because it was too hard to choose just one. Thank you all so much for entering, it was a blast. I hope to see you in my next contest, and I look forward to reading more from all of you very soon.
