This is your contest not mine, no restriction what so ever.

This is my first contest ever and im very excited and hope to have many entries which can be about anything really but fyi i love dark and freeverse i like rhyme but its hard to please me. You guys can read my stuff to learn what i like.

Rules:
you know the general one so why even waste my time.
but if you don't follow the general rules that are in every single contest i will DQ you not if or buts about it.

By the way i will comment every single poem that is a promise and you guys can enter a million poems for all i care the more the merrier.

Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on October 23, 2007
  • Rewards: Gold: 300, Silver: 150, Bronze: 100, Honorable mention: 3 people
  • Final notes:
    Sorry that it took so long to judge but there were a lot of entries and i couldnt find the time to read them all fairly in a timely manner. But now that the contest is over i really enjoyed reading all the entries and it was very difficult deciding on only 6 award winners but the top 6 were just wonderful writes that were amazingly deserving of their respective awards. Even the HM i felt deserved more. THanks for all of u who entered my very first contest and hope to see u in my next one some time soon.
