Black, White, And Shades of Gray. -Contrast-

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
