It has been said that eyes are the door way to one's soul. That is something a firmly believe after all you can tell a lot about a person just from their eyes. Though eyes can be decietful hiding secrets behind them that no one else can see. Eyes can lie.
Rules
1. must have imagery (the stronger the better)
2. i want it to be the secret lies based on strong high emotion, get creative with it. Make me scared, make me cry, i mean i want this to be like who would have ever thought that would be happening type of deal, no sapped up love stories or typical things like that.
3. Rhyming is good but if i can tell it's forced that's not good and i will tell you to give you a chance to fix it if it's not fixed then oh well....
4. no erotica
5. no cussing it's not necessary and it ruins the art of the poem i'm sure anyone can find way better words in place of a cuss word to get the point across.
6. i am no longer allowing pre-writes, if you really want to enter a pre-written poem message me.
7. put "my secrets" in your author notes to let me know you read the rules.
READ THIS!!!!!!
this is going to be very harsh but before i continue judging it's clear to me that i'm not making it very clear on what i exactly want, and so i'm going to try again and give you all a chance to change a poem entry if you like...
What i want is the door way to your soul so far only one person in this contest out of the few poems i have read has done that talking about hiding in a masquerade that is what i mean the secret lies behind the eyes. Say what you are hiding within but do it in a sense that it is hidden within your eyes. i don't just want a story i actaully want the eyes incorperated into your poem,
I'M TELLING ALL POETS KEEP YOUR WORK OR MAKE CHANGES BECAUSE THIS IS HOW I'M JUDGING IT ON....
ALSO!!! if you poem is marked erotica i have chosen to hidden it, and so i will not be looking at your poem i will comment you and tell you that i had to click on the thing to view it anyway and i will tell you to change it before i read your poem you will have a day maybe two to change your settings.
