Ok this is going to take a while to judge because I will not close it until I have 100 entries.
I will continually add points as I get them, and hopefully I will have a lot because in this contest I will give away all my points. Gold will be 500, Silver 300, Bronze 100, and I will add HMs as needed.
I prefer free verse but I am a fan of many forms. Rhyme is ok just don't force it. Sonnets are always nice, and feel free to enter any form, just please describe it briefly in your author's notes.
Just a few rules:
-No erotica
-No dark poetry
-No violence and/or gore
-No bashing
I am allowing prewrites, but I would prefer that you enter new work. Prewrites are always welcome though.
Enter as many times as you want.
This will not end until I get 100 entries. But if it takes too long I will close early.
Inspire my muse.

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on January 18, 2008
- Rewards: Gold: 500, Silver: 300, Bronze: 100, Honorable mention: 3 people
- Final notes: Wow, when I started this I wasn't really sure what I was getting into. At first I barely got enough points in, and only had like 60 entries, then towards the end I was swarmed with entries and squashed for time, but it was so worth it. I can't believe how well this turned out and I am so happy I started this contest. I am so sorry that it took me longer to judge it, but I really appreciate your entries, congrats to all of you amazing poets out there.
Please check out the winning poems, they are wonderful.
Thank you so much for your time and consideration.
