[UPDATE]
Deleting my comment from your poem previous to you entering it into this contest is automatic removal. Don't fuck with me.
I need 238 comments to reach 30,000 total comments.
Here's what you have to do:
1. Enter up to 5 poems that I haven't commented on.
2. It has to be only poems. No prose, No lyrics, No rants - just poems.
3. If you're somehow able to enter my contest with me being on your ignore list - you will be automatically removed. I do not know if that's a possibility or not but this contest is about me reaching my goal of 30,000 comments. So, if I can't comment on your work - bye!
Here's what I will do:
1. I will definitely comment on your work, even if it's the most generic comment ever, I will. I give you my word.
2. Remove any entry with or without a comment that isn't a "poem".
Here's what I won't do:
1. Praise your work if it isn't worth the praise.
2. Lie to you about your work.
Everything I state on your entry will be my opinion, and that's all it is. If you do not like my opinion, remove your entry, and place me on your ignore list. Simple as that. You'll never have to read a comment by me again. Lovely, ain't it?
Here's what my comments entail:
Mainly pointing out errors in spelling, things that I feel do not make sense, suggesting to you if another form is best, if you rhymed your poem, whether it's good or not, if it needs work etc.,
If you do not care for such comments as that - do not enter this contest. That's the sort of comments I make, and have always made.
So, up to 5 entries. Only 1 of your entries is a contender for a trophy at my choosing, however, all will be commented on.
Remember: those poems I HAVE NOT COMMENTED ON! ONLY POEMS and I CRITIQUE.
Have fun!

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on October 23, 2007
- Rewards: Gold: 300, Silver: 75, Bronze: 50, Honorable mention: 3 people
- Final notes: I picked 7 poems for a contender of a trophy. I listed them in order, added them to the finalists list, then logged out to see if there were two poems or more with the same name. Only 2 poems had the same name, I removed one of them since I state in my rules only one can win a trophy.
I commented on all entries submitted but 1 entry. I determined after viewing it it was "prose", and therefore removed it for breaking a rule. Whether they see it as a poem or not is irrelevant. To me: it was in prose-form.
I also removed a poem that I apparently already commented on - they just deleted my comment. That was also a rule.
So, thank you for participating.

but but but
i don't write poems
i just aspire to! -

You know, I would like some "decent" entries.
-
The contest has been open for 2 hours, and I already have close to 150 entries. I capped it at 250 entries.
I think, even with my rules, and how blunt I am with them, I'm going to get a lot of hate IM's.

very lovely. Like your attitude

I offer and welcome constructive critique,how delightful to find a contest holder that promises a brusque critique as opposed to DQ for not making the finalist list,recently read a contest holder who critiqued fairly and squarely 43 poems,I thanked him for his commitment though wasn't entered,I knew I was way below what he sought but respect where it's due,he actually took time to help others improve and kudos for that,anyone can offer a brickbat but not everyone offers inspiration...
-
I admit defeat,I tried five times to submit a prewrite but the system won't allow me,que sera sera,good luck with your contest
-
-
It should allow you, perhaps you should notify administration, and tell them it isn't allowing you to add more than one.
-
-
250 entries or
150 entries....seems this is closed already... -
-
It was 250, I closed it at 153 (removed one for being a rant). Don't worry, I'll have one last contest after I'm done judging this one.

Hilarious

bah!

Thank you for the contest and also for the honor of Silver. Well done winners! La x

Your poem "Outcast" was the other poem that made the finalist list but it was the last poem of the HM's, so, no big deal really.
-
-
It's nice to know though Thank you

Thanks for doing this contest and giving us the opportunity to get some comments from you for free.
Congrats to the winners also!

Thank you very much again for the honor of HM in one of your contests
and off course, your honest comments mean so much!
-
I was not expecting gold! Really, I'm shocked (and honored). I would like to congratulate Laura on getting silver (you go girl!) and congratulate the other winners. Nam, thank you for hosting this contest and commenting on every piece, I'm sure that I, and the other people who entered this greatly appreciated it. *hug
