PRE-WRITES! ROUNDS CONTEST!!!

GIVE ME YOUR BEST POEM!!!

The more poems you add... the great chance of winning.

This will be a very LONG rounds contest with the last part of the contest with gold up to (or above) 1,000 with about 5,450 points being used in total!!!
There will be 5 rounds.... CAN YOU HANDLE IT?!?!

The first round will be EASY! and you can enter as many times as you want! I'm serious you want to enter ALL of your poems... BE MY GUEST! I plan on having at least 50 people go on to the next round....

The round will get harder! MUCH HARDER! BUT, it will be worth the points if you were to win.

You will be scored on your choice of title, diction, syntax, and your wowness factor.
(So spell check is your friend, it will effect your score.)

The Max score will be 40... and an automatic bump into the next round.
