I'm really sorry I haven't judged. My internet hasn't been working and I really can't just sit here in the computer lab all night to read all the entries.
Make me sad. Make me cry. Make me feel your pain, your distress everything.
The more tears you make me shed (with having written it well), the more Gold you shall get.
BUT here's some little things I don't want in here..
1. No cutting stories.
2. No "lost love" stories
3. Don't make it blunt ie: Not straight to the sadness, unless it's the type of topic that needs to be straight to it.
4. Please don't do any kind of RnAaN thing...I thought I would be fine with it, but I read one poem that had it ONCE and it just annoyed me. Is it called sticky caps?
5. Try not to use so many pronouns.
Here are some things I do want:
1. Make me see it. Imagery.
2. If you wish to write about 'lost love' then write about the action of losing love, instead of the result afterwards.
3. Cutting is kind of the same...reasons for it. Instead of the actual doing it.
4. Originality helps.
5. I would like to learn, so things that has happened/are happening in the world that is melancholy.
6. Longer poetry - More description.
7. Have fun with it
Alright...I hope that works. I have tons of points so I wanted to use them in a contest, since I haven't done one in forever.
Oh and one other thing...I would appreciate less pre-written poems, but I'm not going to be a stick about it.

I wrote this poem to be entered into this contest
and I did enter it...and then I thought to enter
a prewritten poem as well without realizing
I could only enter once...so my prewrite
automatically replaced my fresh write...which
one do you think I should keep entered?
peace to all ~flight -
do you accept more than one poem per person? zaj
-
why haven't you viewed all of the submissions?
-
-
Because I'm in college right now and I'm trying to get time to read them.
