The title says it all.
Boys, come, don't be shy,
{though please, oh please,
be 16 or older;
to make it more fair
with this 16 year old judge},
submit your poetry,
and impress me.
My purpose in all of this?
I want to see more talented male poets--
Since I already know so many female--
and I know you're out there, and just as good.
So let me get to know you, your poetry,
and remember:
IT'S TIME TO IMPRESS ME!
Most of the rules should
speak for themselves, too;
no StIcKy CaPs,
no misspellings, no typos,
make it long {but not too long}
and memorable--
do your thing.
Erotica is fine.
And if you would be so kind
as to, in your author's note,
explain the meaning/experience/etc behind your poem,
if it's not readily obvious...
or at least give me a sentence/phrase/word-long clue as to what it is...
Remember, THIS IS NOT REQUIRED
but I feel a little bit more helps
to enhance the poetry...
Got any questions?
{I know I can be confusing!}
Then ASK.
Another available aspect
{that is completely optional}
to this contest is that
I would really like to add to my AP family
or even just meet some people to chat with.
If any contestants would be interested, let me know--
in the Author's notes,
or through a message,
before or after judging,
if you would like to talk to me,
get to know me,
add me to your AP family.
I am amazed and pleased at all the entries I have already received, as well as the quality of each of them possesses! I am very glad that I decided to host this contest; I can't wait to read more and more new entries! {Judging sure is gonna be tough...}
**I won't mind knowing the contestants names -- I always judge fairly -- but you don't have to let me know who you are until after everything is judged and finalized.**
**Points for trophies and number of HMs subject to change depending on the entries I receive. Will remain open as long as necessary. Any ideas or tips/pointers, let me know!!!**

A Little More
I am amazed and pleased at all the entries I have already received, as well as the quality of each of them possesses! I am very glad that I decided to host this contest; I can't wait to read more and more new entries! {Judging sure is gonna be tough...}
It occured to me a few moments ago that I would really like to add to my AP family. It's optional, but if any contestants would be interested, put in your Author's Notes that you would like to add yourself as an AP family member of mine, or just let me know you'd like to chat sometime -- or, if you'd prefer, contact me now via message/after the contest via message.
**I won't mind knowing the contestants names -- I always judge fairly -- but you don't have to let me know who you are until after everything is judged and finalized.** -
ALSO!
It would be nice if, in the author note's, you authors explained the meaning/experience/etc behind your poem, if it's not readily obvious...or at least give me a sentence/phrase/word-long clue as to what it is...THIS IS NOT REQUIRED, but I feel a little bit more helps to enhance the poetry...Please and thank you to all, whether or not you help me out. -
Had to see...
Hi Jezebel
Thanks for your comment on my poem. *hug.
I thought I would come check your page out etc. and then I saw this very clever contest and wanted to drop by and see how productive it was being for you. Good luck with the entries and judging.
-
no prewrites?
-
-
No, sorry, I'm not as fond of those.
-
-
I have a few hours to pen something and hope I can.
-
Thanks for the tableware, but did I impress you?
-
Apologies
So many entries, so many lacked comments...I return now with a new eye, and hope to hear from you all again! Many of you I hope to meet and get to know!
