NOW OPEN TO PREWRITES and 2 poems per poet. (But only one can be a prewrite. 
)
I have one contest going for things you’d like to forget and bury in the past. For this one, I want the exact opposite. Take the memories, people, places, or anything else that have meant the most to you and let me feel why they should never be forgotten. They don’t have to be happy poems ~ it could be something bad that happened but taught you a lesson you’ll never forget. Just try to make them positive in the end.
Fresh poetry only to begin with, but I may (MAY!) open this to prewrites and 2 entries per poet for the last half of the contest, so be sure and check back.
Standard rules apply, and I will comment on all entries. Prose or poetry, I like both.
That’s it, people. Have fun and good luck. The gate to "Forever" is now open...bring a smile and come on in!

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on November 30, 2007
- Rewards: Gold: 300, Silver: 100, Bronze: 50, Honorable mention: 2 people
- Final notes: I thank you all for being so patient while I judged this, I really appreciate it. I know it took quite a while which I'm sorry for, and normally I am much better about getting things judged in a timely manner.
While I had a lot of great entries, I also had quite a few that I didn't feel fit the theme of my contest very well. Especially for those of you who enter prewrites, (not just in this but in ANY contest) I encourage you to make sure your write fits before entering. And, if there is any question about it, sometimes an author note can be very helpful in seeing how something might fit in.
I am very happy with my winners and HMs though, and I hope you'll take a few minutes to read them. I think you'll find every one of them well worth your time to read.
Thank you all for entering, and congrats to the winners!
Best wishes to all,
~J.

Yes, a sure sign that I have either far too many points or far too much time on my hands.
