Your entries in this contest have to have something to do with poetry, nature or Earth, or society.
Now, the poems about poetry can just be about poetry, or the poetry you might find in other things around the world. (to get a vague idea of what I mean, check out my poem called Poetry)
Your poem should have a personal opinion, and should probably give a little bit of you in the feeling, if you know what I mean.
Well, I don't really know what else to say...mainly because this is my first contest...well, here are the only rules I have:
*Try to cut down on the bad language (I'll only see bunny anyway...)
*Nothing erotic (again, I won't be able to see it)
*Nothing about being emo or selfharm or depressing stuff...unless it's about society and you're telling the truth about it; then it'll be allowed (to an extent)
*Try to limit yourself to less than 100 lines, but if it's longer, I'll still read it
*Uh...I think that's it! I wish you all luck!

- Final notes: Ok, this was a HARD contest to judge! You ALL did really well! And I had to up the HMs cuz I liked to many of them! (I can't believe I'm losing so many points! lol jk) Anyway, I WAS going to have like, seven HMs so everyone wins SOMETHING, but since I couldn't afford the points, I figured I'd make them here:
The ones who deserve something, but since I have no points, get...[sniff]...nothing:
Multitude of Species
At the Cafe
Animist
Landscaping the Paper
Who Rakes the Leaves in the Forest?
and I'm too lazy to look for the rest, but know this: You all did extremely well! So thanks for making my first contest so hard to judge! JEEZ! lol jk

Gold--Recycling Sound
Silver--Poetry Is...
Bronze--Do We Call This Our Home?
HMs--A Day Well Spent, Universal, Can't Look Back Now, and And the God Abandon
Good job everyone! [applauding YOU ALL!]
