Hey Darlings
I look through these contests sometimes, for things worth entering.
I read the rule, and they are ridiculous
Why would you have a BACKGROUND contest, on a POETRY website. I background doesn't make a poem. A poem, if well written should speak for it self.
That is what i want, well written poetry.
Not to much to ask for
I don't care about your background
I don't care about who you are
I don't care about how many trophies you've won
I don't care about how old you are
I really don't care about what's in your authors comment box.
But i will read it if you have something to say.
Now, onto the topic
Contrast, the connection between two complete opposites
Love-Hate
Black-White
Dark-Light
Ect
Pretty much anything is open here
Pre-writes allowed
Stick Caps if you want (i don't care)
Rules
There really arn't any
Just please well written poetry
(PS i like unique like really, just wow opinions. And i do not like animals)

Technically the poem I entered here IS my background, but that's only because I don't have a Gold membership so can't do fancy things with the writing etc
Took bloody ages!!
Anyway - I agree with what you say and hope you have an enjoyable contest
Take care x -
I guess being the last finalist is good or something... thank you?

Congratulations to the winners and a big thanks to our host for a great contest.
