you want something pulled apart by a bored english literature/classical litertaure student?
enter it.
warning. if you get me when i'm all pissed off, expect nothing positive. thou hast been warned.
enter everything and anything. if its shit, i'll delete it, simple as. no warning, no comment, nothing.
you no like? tough shit. think i'm offensive? whoopskiness. take it up with my psychiatrist. she'll agree that i have anger issues. i like to call it easily pissed off.
it'll probably end sometime in the new year, or august. it depends on what we do in english/classics next term.
update: most likely august, or at least once i've finished my exams; they're becoming a pain in the ass as it is, and they don't even start til may!
you might not like what i say about your poem. to be honest, i don't care. i'm saying what i'm basically taught to say about symbolism and the like. if i read into something wrong, then it ain't my fault. call me selfish and the like, trust me its all been said before.
still want to enter? great. you must be as insane as me, if not more ^_^
i'll read it, but probably not comment unless i've had either english and/or classics.
tally of number of pieces deleted: IIIII (5) III
warning two: if you're gonna say its a certain form, make sure it is...
warning three: make sure its short enough to stay in my attention span.
warning four: don't make your author notes so long that its longer than the actual poem!!
five: it has to be a poem.
those in the finalists are those i've pulled apart. check them out to see an example.

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on January 24, 2008
- Rewards: Gold: 300
- Final notes: had to close/judge half heartedly; i have severe rheumatoid arthritus (hands, hips, spine, ankles, wrists) and basically on a morphine substitute.
apologies if i didn't pull your work apart. plus i got a message from a mod saying to judge coz its gone on too long. so yea.
i like the way someone attacked me in their piece. its not been dq'd because its a bit of an ego boost for me; i know i'm not gay because i'm bisexual. shove that where the sun don't shine, you malignant writer who does not know me at all (disclaimer: i'm just defending myself ^_^)
i only pulled apart 3 pieces,and they won purely because i pulled them apart and liked 'em.
cheers for entering and putting up with me.
shadow.

Hey sinead. I have a poem that i think i'm going to enter BUT.....IF it's not quite what you were expecting or doesn't meet what you were hoping for.....feel free to delete it! It's very cyber-ish and could be fun to pull apart!
^_^
I won't be offended (especially considering it's the fact that it's YOU!!!)
-
-
Wouldn't be wise to aggravate my Shadow once she's pissed anyway Syn, lmao.
I'd enter one except for one small fact Sinead...I can't write nothing, and you already commented on my other work
Oh Dearskiness.
-
-
haha,
oh i KNOW she has a sadistic side!
But.....remember demon,
SADISM doesn't disturb me.....
i have seen things in my head that would make any NORMAL person sick (and i mean LITERATLY sick)......Brutality and anger does NOT bother me nor does it phase me. I have a far darker side to me.....
=D
i don't fear much.....
ok ok, SPIDERS.....and WASPS, but that's about it. And i might have a SLIGHT fear of tractor trailor trucks
*hides under bed*

-
Wrong side of the bed? I think so well thats what poetry is about, critiques. if they didnt want there work critisised, they wouldnt enter any.
-
strange distraction lol
-
You've misspelled psychiatrist. Just saying...
-
YES
