Look at the pretty colours.
They have nothing to do with anything, but aren't they pretty?
I'm bored,
so I'd like something to read.
Although;
No love (lost or otherwise)
No rhyme
& No epics (under about 40 lines)
Enter up to 5 times I suppose
(as I've opened this up for another week or so, new entrants may only enter once.)
Just don't give me crap
for the love of whatever deity you'd like don't give me crap.
Imagery,
Metaphor
Alliteraion
and Spell check are your friends.
Go play with them.
That's it I guess...
But wait....
MORE pretty colours!
Ok now that really is it.
Before anyone starts complaining I am going to answer a soon to be commonly asked question. If your poem was removed it is because it didn't follow the rules.
Just a heads up; I'm going to be honest in my opinions. If I don't like it, I'll say so, if I think you're wasting my time, I'll say so. If I think it's the most brilliant thing I've read all year (doubtful but you never know) I'll say so.

[♥][♥][♥][♥]
~Lorissa~ -
Damn. I was thinking "YES! A WHATEVER CONTEST!" - and then it says 'no love' and I thought 'shit...'
I just wrote a poem- and I can't find a decent contest to enter it in.
Oh well.
And those pretty colors are pretty awesome. I think they made me go spacey.
-
-
It's less "No love" and more "no cliche love" but people can't seem to tell the difference so I have to put it down to it's simplest terms
-
-
Didn't mean to enter in this contest, not sure how it happened lol But my poem doesn't follow any of the assigned rules so you can just ignore it, Sorry
-
I want the pretty colors.
-
w00t~!
-
-
If that piece isn't in your book...
I'll hurt you
