Hey!
I'm in the mood for a contest with MANY entries, so maybe you can help me out?
I’m looking for beautiful, breathtaking poems. It can be about anything – nature, beauty, love, depression, personal stuff, darkness, thoughts, hope or whatever you want. I want it to be truly poetic – not saying it has to rhyme or something like that. I’m also a big fan of imagery, but it isn’t a must.
If you have anything you would like to write about, but isn't sure if it's okay, then send me a message. I'm pretty open so I'm sure it'll be okay.
Titles that you can choose if you want: (Not a must)
- For the sake of my sanity
- Death when beautiful
I may add more titles later, as I come up with some.
Rules:
- If you enter more than once, please put the title of your other entries in your author notes.
- No dirty pretty
- No sticky caps or chat speak
- No prose (Only if short and to the point – I don’t want long book chapters)
- No bashing of other poets and their work.
- Don't get angry with me, if you don't like my comments.
- Try to comment on the other entries.
- Try to stay anonymous – I like it that way.
- You can enter a prewritten poem, as long as it hasn't won gold before
- Please try to keep it under 70 lines - I get bored easily.
I will try to comment on all entries, but I will not applaud any.
Good luck!
Snow White Queen <3
****************Update**********************
I know I've let people enter as many times as they want, but come on people - don't overdo it! If some poets enters 10 times it isn't really fair to the ones that don't.
Keep it to a normal limit please!
