Ok, so we have all just sat at some point and written a poem that was just a one off. One which was not written for the purpose of a contest. You know the one!
Those are what I'm looking for.
The one poem that just sits in your collection gathering dust but HAS NOT been entered into any contest ever!
Rules:-
No poems full of swearing, death, violence or full on adult material.
No bashing other poets.
Minimum of 5 lines - no max.
I like rhyme but any style may be entered.
Be aware of your background colour and make your poem easy to read.
If less than 4 poems I will delete the contest.
Please do not enter your poem into another contest at the same time as mine, I find it rude and your poem will not win.
My word is final.
Remember it must be a pre-write and it must not have been entered into any contest. EVER!!!!!
Now show me what you've got.....
Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on February 23
- Rewards: Gold: 300, Silver: 200, Bronze: 100, Honorable mention: 10 people
- Final notes: Thanks to everyone who entered this contest. I've had so many amazing entries that I have upped the HM's to 10. There were however a few entries that broke the rules and that makes me sad as the poems were brilliant and could so easily have won something. Thanks again for taking the time to enter. Congrats to the winners!
