Our Story

Okay guys- this is my first contest.
So please go easy on me here.

Tell me why love is so addicting!

I want to read your personal stories about:
[1] Your First Love
[2] Your First Kiss
[3] A Moment with a special person that changed you life.
[4] Other, related topic
(pick one, or more for your poem)

These poems need strong emotion, I want to wish so
desperately that your story was my own. Write your
heart out.
Tell how hard or easy falling in love was.
How sensual your first kiss seemed to be.
Make sure it's in poem form. (even though stories are just lovely, this is a poetry contest)





Aw darn- rules:

[1] No sTiCkY keys. That really bugs me.
[2] Organized stanza please.
[3] Not too much erotic content. If there is- make it meaningful. (label: adult, please.)
[4] Good grammar and spelling.
[5] No bashing other poets. It's rude.



Questions? Please ask away.

  • Won My Heart
    I'm going to try to put it all in one / Pouring out my feelings like a loaded gun. / I'm tired of all this pain / And feeling like I'm lame / When all I really did was get played in the game. / You broke my heart
