I'll be perusing all of the poems soon, and I will sort out the good ones from the bad ones. Most of the poems here are very, very bad, unfortunately.

How many entries are allowed per person?
-
As many as you want. Just make sure your poetry doesn't suck. Take some time to reflect upon your ideas. If it's gritty, then make sure there is some continuity to it.
Do not use cliches, or worn phrases, because I will stop reading once I see, "I love you like X," or, "my angelic being."
If you write about love, then write about real love. -
Clockwork…I honestly cant see one of your finalist being cup worthy...forced rhyme and the on and off couplets intermittent of non rhyme stanza’s…use of capital letters after the comma…especially after reading the host comments on all the other poems...I at first admired your brute honesty...and believed you knew something about poetry…quite the contrary… and I’m sure you have hurt some feelings to some or most of the poets you commented on…but seeing your choices here...I feel you not only contradicted yourself as to knowing what good poetry is…but actually have caused me to lose respect for your critique of others…be well

All of those other poems were absolute crap, and the 'finalists' are just barely decent.
When I see a good poem, I will be sure to put it in here. -
Thanks for the trophy
