The picture has NOTHING to do with the contest, but you MAY use it for inspiration! (If you do, please let me know in authors notes. It's not going to score you brownie points or anything like that, I don't believe in that...But it would be interesting) 
Ok, here it goes. The third contest, hosted by ME!
I want your BEST prewrite, OR if you think you can write something completely new and impress me enough to win, GO FOR IT!
Rules:
1) No TyPiNg LiKe ThIs. It DoEs NoT ImPrEsS mE.
2) No cursing, as I feel it's tacky in poetry.
3) No "dirty pretty."
4) I want to read a poem, NOT an essay. (Meaning, it can be long, just not TOO long.)
5) One entry per person.
6) Let your mind wander, and HAVE FUN!!!
***January 12th, 2008***
Ok, so in the first two days or so of the contest open, I have gotten 40 entries...That's awesome! I've gotten some really good poetry, and this is going to be very difficult to judge...But now that I have 40 entries, I want 40 MORE entries! All of you who entered should tell your friends, tell everyone you know that they should enter! I'd like to get the full 100 entries, that would be AWESOME Good luck to everyone who's entered thus far!!

Hey I noticed you already commented on the poem I entered, can I switch it for a different one?
-
-
Absolutely

-
i honestly do not know my best, so I took one of my favorites, i hope you enjoy
-
Well I've entered two and removed both...
It's getting too hard to impress you
-
-
Haha, if I remember correctly, you won a trophy in my last contest??
I'm already impressed, and consider that a HUGE compliment, because I am a harsh critic of poetry Ms. Becky
At the same time, I'm really laid back and easy going too, if that makes ANY sense at all....I'm sorry you removed them though

wow
Congrats to AutumnsFlame for winning two trophies in this contest...My contests are all Anonymous, I like to keep it that way, so then I pick the poetry I liked the best...So it's as unbiased as possible...WAY TO GO!!!
