Write Me Your Best--- INVITE ONLY

This is only for people that posted in my 20 questions contest.
=====================================================

Now that we know a bit about each other. Show us where your true talent lies!!!
There will be no prewrites allowed. 1 entry each. I prefer poems or stories that have an uplifting feel good message in them, however you may write on any subject, any style, any length, with no line limit.

I really, really would like to try and keep this anonymous. So please do not put your name anywhere at all on your work.

Please, no adult content for young people have posted in this too.

I have put up a lot of points for this so please don't let me down. Give me your best.
======================================================
I have a very simple plan for judging this. The winners will be the ones that really out shine the rest. Please do keep in mind that not all of us have the same taste. So what I like, you may not. However, that’s the fun part of hosting by myself. I get to be boss. LOL
It’s very important that you put the link or title to your entry in the 20 question contest in your author notes.
This is how I can keep up with being sure you posted in my other contest. If you don’t and I REMOVE your entry, I’m sorry
I hope this makes sense to everyone.
I really hope you will comment on the other entries as much as you can.



You guys are the greatest. Thanks for posting and happy writing!

Cathy
===================================================
PLEASE FEEL FREE TO TAKE STANZA'S FROM YOUR OTHER PIECES AND COMPLETE A WHOLE NEW PIECE OR WHATEVER. THIS IS TO SHOW US ALL WHERE YOU SHINE AS A POET.
THE ONLY THING I'LL FUSS ABOUT IS IF YOU WANT TO ENTER A PREWRITE. PLEASE REMEMBER TO HAVE FUN DOING THIS!!!!


Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on January 11, 2008
  • Rewards: Gold: 3000, Silver: 2000, Bronze: 1000, Honorable mention: 35 people
  • Final notes:
    I have never had such a hard time trying to pick winners from these beautiful entries.
    I want everyone to know how much it meant to me that you wrote these very special pieces just for me!
    Please, please keep in mind that I’m no expert, far from it but the winners I have chosen just spoke to me in such a way I couldn’t ignore them.
    I was upset each time I had to pick one over another and if you could all get a gold, I would do it in a heartbeat.
    However, we know I can’t so I settled for the next best thing and have given all the others an HM.
    Please know that I really loved all these great pieces, you guys really put a lot into this for me and I love you for it.
    Cathy Davis

    Gold- I Am…

    If we write something dark, will it count against us when the time comes for judging?

    Just a note: you asked we keep this as anonymous as possible, but you've also asked for us to put the link or title of the poem we submitted into your previous contest in our author's note...kinda strips the anonymity

    That is a bucket loads of points and I'd love to enter this but quite honestly I'm intimidated by alot of the poets that entered the 20 Questions one ... so Thank you for the invite Your 20 Questions was awesome and it was wicked to learn more about others here but ... the competition of amazing poets is too great for me I fear.
    I am not that confident of my writing

    Best of luck to everyone that enters
    Have fun reading and judging
    Stay safe
