Enter me your pre-written poem.
Pre-writes are original works. I'm very annoyed to see people holding contests where they say: Sorry no pre-writes because they are not original. Ew. (slkhbkf)
Can I slap those people? PLEASE!?
Pre-written poems are usually better than ones created just for contests. PWs are more heartfelt and I think that there are not enough PW contests around. So I'm holding another one.
rules
- your poem can NOT have won gold, silver, bronze, or HM in ANY contest prior to this contest. give people a chance.
- no sticky caps. no erotica. no dirty pretty.
- you may enter ONE poem.
- all entries must be poems. no short stories or stuff like that.
IMPORTANT RULE: it can be in any form you like. indicate what form it is in your author comments and give me a brief description of what you were going for [trying to convey] in your author comments as well.
If you DO NOT do this I will NOT COMMENT. I really want to comment on your piece and give you feedback so PLEASE follow this rule.
- use proper spelling and punctuation and all that stuff. I can understand the common typos but nothing like: I luv u alot. "a lot" is two words, a phrase. NOT a single word. I'd be surprised if any of you used the phrase 'a lot' anyway, but there you go.
- Your poem can be on any topic so long as it follows all above stated rules.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: I'd really appreciate some feedback on my own poems. It's not mandatory, but if you really believe in strengthening the rep of PWs then have a look at one of my works. We all need advice and feedback. Comment for comment. Thanks.
IMPORTANT NOTICE 2: Poems that have been removed from the contest (aka DQed) were done so on the basis that sufficient information was not put in the author comments (or at all in some cases) OR because trophies were earned prior to this contest. Maybe next time you should read the rules.
Good Luck!

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on October 1, 2007
- Rewards: Gold: 300, Silver: 200, Bronze: 100, Honorable mention: 5 people
- Final notes: Congratulations to the winners and finalists.
Remember that this contest was only one perspective on your written work and that there is no final say in what is good or bad, merely opinion. By submitting to a contest you let down a barrier to hear another person's opinion of your work. Your work will not always be cherished nor will it always be trashed. Everyone has an individual style and yes, there are skills to improve upon, but don't become sour over one contest.
We're all here to grow as writers in an open forum. Please remember that and good luck with your future writings.

I wrote this the other day..it was something that just came to me. I am not sure what i could put as the subject as its just a feeling i was having at the moment. I find most of my poems are stemmed from what i feel at the moment. I hope you enjoy it. -
I agree pre-written poems should be a allowed. Unless the contest is based on the inspiration of a given quote, picture, etc. it should be allowed. You can't pre-write something and then tell me it's inspired by a quote I just gave you to tickle your muse... but I wholeheartedly agree otherwise. Nicely said!

I hope that ypu'll be able to read my entry. Its not really.....well there's language in there
