I am trying to be a bigger and better person 
so I am hosting a contest for those special poets who enjoy free-verse, free-style etc - whatever you call non-ryhming 
I am guilty of not liking it as a rule, but I have read one or two latley that were pretty impressive. Your job, fellow writers, is to impress upon us (the 'no ryhme - no read' group) the true art and exspression in non-ryhing poetry.
So, no ryhming poems this go around, but please please please for the love of everything holy (and those things not) - MAKE IT GOOD!
Rules:
1. NO terminal illness mention
2. Go easy w/the dirty pretty
Thanks so much and I look forwards to some awsome stuff!

I like to rhyme, but I like form poetry and free verse as well.
-
please don't have any more 'free verse' contests it is painfully obvious to everyone that you do not know what you are reading...zaj

great contest, would have loved to enter, loved the winners,since i love freeform maybe i should run a rhyming contest for people like you? Whatd'y'think?
Ive come to hate bad rhyme, rhyme in general because its fairly constrained-i prefer assonant rhyme or freeform, but I too know that good poets can create good poetry with any form,....i shouldnt cringe at poetry because of it, its not poetry's fault
