Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on January 14, 2008
  • Rewards: Gold: 300, Silver: 200, Bronze: 100, Honorable mention: 17 people
  • Final notes:
    Thank you all for entering this contest.

    Loved them all and so all got an award and points.

    Now it is only fair to tell you why I joined All Poetry.

    I have a true friend,
    for over 20 years she has been by my side.
    She was here writing down our stories we
    wrote together and asked me to join in April
    2007. I did, what she did not forsee
    was me taking a liking to this site.
    For within a short time I had entered so many
    contests and had started my collection of trophies.

    You see I love to write. Be them short poems in quickies, long poems, funny ones, erotic ones, or even those that tell a fantasy story.

    Writing is my favorite way to relax.

    That is one of many reasons I joined, why I
    stay here at this site is all the wonderful
    poets that call me their friend.

    Honestly... when I first joined it was to bitch out my best friends mother who was abusive in every way to her child and then posted poetry about how she is dying and so only tries to be a good mother and Christian. Ugh.
