so give me metaphor, spell correctly, rhyme is acceptable when done well and please try not to be repetitive... you can be ambiguous if you'd like or very clear, I don't care, just want to read effective metaphor...
play nice, don't whine, I prefer free verse or short forms...
if you insist on entering a pre-write, I would prefer one that's not been read or commented on in the past, but at the very least it should be one that will not be an entry into another contest whilst you participate in this one... I find one poem entered into multiple contests somewhat lazy...
go forth! be poetic! try not to complain! thanks!
Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on November 15, 2007
- Rewards: Gold: 300, Silver: 100, Bronze: 33, Honorable mention: 3 people
- Final notes: the pieces that won are incredible... love love love the gold winning piece, blew me away... short and sweet seemed to do it for me this time around... the top six are all fantastic! thanks you all for your entries... sorry I didn't get some of them, sorry I didn't like some as much as I liked others... you all used metaphor quite masterfully... in the end, however, as with all the contests that I judge, I chose the ones I liked the best... I try to be as unbiased as possible, but I like best the pieces that I feel speak to me with the most poetic voices...

If a prewrite is entered, may the same poet enter a fresh write as well?
-
-
yes!
please! the more metaphor, the better!

I know you didn't want a prewrite, but I wrote one that would fit, and I submitted an hour ago, so its still warm, I promise.

Thank you so much for the Gold. I am really surprised. Congratulations also to the other winners. Cheers!

The next time you hold a contest, make sure to comment on everyone so they can at least know what they could have done to make the piece more to your standards. I hate entering contests that I end up hearing nothing about and end up being blind. Think about that before the next time you hold a contest.
