look at how great it is
and how well
it fits a certain
overarching theme
or what have you

out of place

but wait
it redeems itself by being awesome
enough to not have
to fit in with any theme
*if thats too much effort for you, i dont mind you entering links to all of your best poems, but i will probably get a little frustrated with the link jumping and i cant guarantee that i wont take out that frustration on your score.

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on October 10, 2007
- Rewards: Gold: 1200
- Final notes: god! that was hard! the winning entry was not without faults, but there was just too much solid work in there to deny it. i couldnt quite justify allowing a smaller sampling to win because it had a better score per poem, when this one was so close and so extensive.

Umm so you want us to paste our "collection" in one entry?
-
-
yup
-
-
How much is a collection? How many poems do you want on the page?
-
-
as many as you want to put. as long as its coherent and holds my attention, ill keep reading until im dead.
-
-
damn i m so stupid... don't answer my question.
bookmarking.
-
This is an awesome idea for a contest!
Thanks a lot for holding it. -
~ Hello there and thank you for youglorious Idea!
But I would state, Humbly, that if you are going to ask for all of a poets best poems, I would say that you might just want to consider, an open contest, that not only includes new poetry from the person, but also their prewritten poems too!
Just a suggestion...
Thank you for your glorious idea!

i think you misunderstodd a little. i want all of the poems in one entry, hence the copy and paste. im not reading them individually. im evaluating the entire collection.
-
-
I agree with Jamesleelong37. It seems obvious to me that "best" poems will in the vast majority of cases be "prewritten"
-
-
im not reading them individually. im evaluating the entire collection. you can use your old work. i just want it all in one collection, copied and pasted into one entry.
-
-
Why are your contests so tempting?
-
Hi Lee...Is it that you want a link to a catalogue-list of what is considered one's best poetry, or just a copy/paste of several of those poems of any type you're looking for as entries?
Thanks for letting me know when you can...

i wasnt very clear with the directions here. you can do either. i would prefer they all be in the same entry so i dont have to jump from link to link, but i wont take off if its easier to just put links up.
-
-
you should've updated earlier.
-
-
i know. but it was midnight when i posted it. everything was making sense in my head.
-
-
Hmm... I think you should ask everyone to see the updates. Or whatever. Don't know.
-
-
-
you should use the Burroughs method and cut up a poem in pieces and place them around to alter the meaning...you'd be surprised with the outcome...best wishes with the contest...this made me think of that..lol

I am a bit shocked to see you didn't even have the manners to comment on the collection of poems I prepared for you. You may well be American or Australian which would explain it. So I have blocked you as a reward.
-
-
"if i comment"
yeah...thanks for the handsome reward, but i can assure you that i read and scored every piece here.
sorry if you get your jollies from little "good job"s on your poems, but i ran out of time and didnt much feel like typing all of my notes on here.
