I would like poems that have depth, imagery, and that are filled to the brim with pure emotion.


RULES?

1. Use spell check PLEASE!!!
2. Nothing happy!!!
3. No Pre-writes!!!

This will close as soon as I get enough entries that satisfy me....

      Hmmmm... How about reposting your piece just for this contest - like a copy paste sort of thing? I just do not want to allow them completely because I do not want all the 'OOH LET ME CLICK IN THIS OLD THING...' to start happening here.

    I wrote a tragic letter yesterday, but I couldn't enter your contest because I entered another one previously that had no prewrites allowed. Would you be willing to make an exception if you skim it real quick?
