I'm looking for that poem, the one you wrote when you were upset, when you couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, in class when you couldn't concentrate on work because you were sitting right behind HIM or HER...
The poem you wrote in 10 minutes just because you felt like writing but haven't got around to "perfecting" yet...
The poem you're too scared to post because it ISN'T perfect...
The poem that didn't place in another contest because it wasn't filled with metaphors and imagery or any other poetic devices that make a good poem...
The poem you poured your heart into but still didn't sound completely perfect...
I want your deepest thoughts put into words for me to read...
I DON'T want a perfect poem.
I DON'T want a poem that placed in any other contest, not even HM.
I also don't want absolute garbage...
I hope you get what I mean by that, I just want simple poetry, the kind of thing you wrote before you were told to use poetic devices to make your poem "better"
Points may go up
No rules, just don't be stupid
Just because PW's are opened doesn't mean you have to use them, I'd rather you write something fresh, whatever comes to mind when you look out the window or when you're in bed tonight thinking...
Be as cliche as you want, if it's simple but flows well and is good, it could win...
I'm deleting prewrites and I want you to think about it, don't make it perfect, just write what you're feeling or what you think of when you look out the window, what you think of in class or at work later, just write me something brilliant
Have fun guys!

Sorry to all the people who were supposed to get HM's, there was a stuff up when I put them in and I forgot to check before I clicked judge, I'm sorry to you all, I won't make the mistake of not checking again, that's for sure...
Sorry for the stuff up!
