MUSEUM QUALITY

Make your words easily digestible, but hurt my insides

Sculpt it until your tools are overheated, and your eyes are full of sand

Museum quality poetry only

one catch...

it better be the kind of poetry i like

im not going to critique anyones poem in a negative manner

only say good job and such, because discouragement is not mine to give

you will know how well you do by how well you place

again I AM PIcky on what i like

not so much themes, but more or less QUALITY

good luck
im not allowing prewrites until you link me to one that you think will make me accept it

no hard feelings, eh?


Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on March 7
  • Rewards: Gold: 600, Silver: 300, Bronze: 200, Honorable mention: 3 people
  • Final notes:
    thank you all for participating...although I did not get as many entries as I would have liked, the few I recieved were stunning...first place is a must read, filled with words that choke the mind with thoughts.
    Second place is quitea well deserving silver, with beautifully formed phrasing and imagery
    Third place won bronze, and comes from quite an imagination, enough to shake the nerves a little
    the honorable mentions are in no particular order, although Blood Mountain deserves a read, for it was written based on actual events.

    Again, thanks to all, I look forward to your participation in future contests..
