It's been a long time since I've held a contest. Long enough to forget why I stopped holding them.
So... here are the rules:
1. No rhyme.
2. Don't suck.
3. Use correct grammar and spelling.
Other Stuff:
I reserve the right to remove any poem for any reason, or no reason. I may or may not award 2nd or 3rd or other. I may or may not comment on each one.
That's it. Write what you want.

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on September 23, 2007
- Rewards: Gold: 300
- Final notes: For what this was as a contest, I feel I almost didn't have the right to receive as many good entries as I did. I'd like to say it renewed my faith in this site...
Even the writing styles I didn't recognize surprised me and out of 30 entries altogether I only got one rhyming poem to boot out.
So... take this for what this is: a contest for my tastes.
Congrats to the winners. Nam and Annalise, you never disappoint with your writing.

ah me too, before yesterday I hadn't hosted a contest for waaaay too long.
may we enter more than once? -
-
I guess I should've put that in the rules. Please only enter once. If I removed your poem, you can enter again.
-
-
Hey, this closed before I even saw it. Well, good luck.
-
-
-
That wasn't fair. Okay, it wasn't fair of me but then again it wasn't fair of you. I'm sure there were other pieces that could have surpassed your love of that poem.
-
-
I opened it back up so you could enter something else. That's fair(ish).
-

-
Well, damn. Now I want to know which poem it was.

I don't know that I actually have a favorite of Nam's, he always writes or revises something that knocks me on my ass. But... I think if I *had* to choose, it'd be this one. -
-
I think my favorite of his is "Exchange of information that is both lethargic and weak" or something titled along those lines.
-
-
I do come up with titles to remember. One who has written as many as I have over the years, you have to become inventive.
-
-
Yes you do. Every time I hear or use the word lethargic I think of that poem.
