Just things on confusion, being confused. That sort of thing.
Rules:
Make it long enough so I am reading...but not novel or story length. This is poetry.
NO sticky caps
NO bashing
NO dirty pretty
NO erotica (sorry!)
NO whining/complaining if I DQ. You enter, you play by my rules. Sucking up does NOT help
NO replying/rating/returning the favor to comments...messages included!....and on that same hand, don't bombard me asking to read your work! I'm busy a lot of the time!
For crying out loud....stay on topic! Please, please stay on topic!
Spell check is your best friend. Use it. I want to read--not nitpick. If I'm nitpicking, then I'm chucking. You're always welcome to try again though.
Failure to follow rules results in a DQ.
Reservations are allowed....just fulfill them before you close

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on April 8, 2008
- Rewards: Gold: 300, Silver: 30, Bronze: 20, Honorable mention: 2 people
- Final notes: I had so many entries for this contest, probably the most in any contest I've held--which is about six.
What I liked about this contest was that I got so many entries--what I did not like was the number of poems I had to disqualify.
Anyhow....out of the thirteen poems on my finalists list--these ones were the ones who got the trophies:
Gold: Conflicted
Silver: My mind wonders
Bronze: Where is Truth?
HM: Botheration
HM: Heart Blinkers
Congrats, and I look forward to seeing you in another contest.

You said pre-writes are allowed soon, right? I have a poem that I think would fit well here. So I'll bookmark this and keep an eye on it.
