Just one entry per person?
I feel like entering endless amounts

haha, yes, just the one, though you can withdraw any pome at any point and enter a different one just make your mind up is all
thank you for the quote

Well really, thank Neil Gaimen and his beauty of wisdom

Shit. I should have entered my dream poem into this. But, well, I've already told a bunch of people that.

" 4. No suicide crap "
and what if our secret is we tried to commit suicide?
I was going to enter this contest but this rule and your wording has really ticked me off. -
-
so sorry to have 'ticked you off' but there is something to the statement
'suicide crap' is posted all over this site.
let me define
suicide crap: too many razors, too much dripping blood, too many spilled pills, and guns, badly described cliches that glorify and romanticize suicide.
THAT is suicide crap. Now if you were intending to enter something like that, yes, be ticked off, otherwise, ask first what I mean before trying to tell me off.
Thanks and have a great day.
