Hello! This is my first big options contest, so listen up!

Options

1. COMEDY--Write me something funny. I mean, spit out whatever I'm drinking funny! Enter this if you dare

2. DIRTY PRETTY--I have decided I love dirty pretty. So write me something in this genre. Everything allowed for this even the dreaded StIcKy CaPs

3. NATURE--I'm a nature lover, pen me something amazing. For this genre, I need to see lots of similes...and metaphors IF they are good!

4. SENSUAL--I enjoy the sensual poem every now and then. BUT, I DO NOT want smut. So, do not say things like, cum, cock, cunt, tits, etc.!!!! I like when sensual metaphors

5. DARK/SINISTER--Write something really dark. I'm talking gruesome! I love blood and gore, so give me that. BUT, it must be written eloquently, if not, I'll still take it, but I may not like it as much. You can also submit something sad or creepy.

6. SAD/DEPRESSING--I love the occasional sad poem. I want heart wrenching...or close to it (dont worry, Im a softy, its not hard to make me sad) I want poems without hope


Well, that's it for the options.

What I like:
1.) Rhyme, only if it is good rhyme.
2.) Metaphor and similes
3.) ELOQUENT WRITING!!!

Please do not write something I cannot understand, unusual vocab is a plus, too much is a . Read some of my poems to get a better understanding of my level of vocab

No Rules

If I do not have AT LEAST 20 entries, I will end this.

Donations are MORE than welcome

    Alright people!!! After hours of sorting and re-ordering, this contest is OVER!



    My deepest apologies to those of you who are frustrated with me due to my slow judging..however, I have had A LOT going on, and have not been able to do it...school and family are my primary worries.



    On that note, I must say, this was the HARDEST contest EVER to judge. Soooooo many good entries...so I added HM's.




    Congrats to my wonderful winners!
    Gold: Forsaken...a metaphorical masterpiece
    Silver: Mistaken...a TRUE tear jerker
    Bronze: Marble Droplet...perfect imagery and flow

    ***all HM's ARE in order***





    Be safe & Brightest Blessings,
    Erika
