I really like short, powerful poems.
By short I mean, 30 WORDS or less.
It can be about any subject, just make it powerful.
I WILL comment on each entry after the contest has closed.
I WILL NOT fluff you, I will be honest about what I like and do not like about it.
But I certainlly will not be rude...just honest.
Normally when I comment I'm not sure if I can be totally honest with folks because some get upset. But this is my contest and I will be commenting honestly, so if you do not want an honest critique, don't enter.
Prizes may increase depending on how well this turns out.
I can't wait to read the entries. Good luck.
Oh and you can enter as much as you'd like and don't use busy backgrounds or unreadable fonts, it's my pet peeve and I will DQ you.
If you enter a poem with more than 30 words, I will remove it without warning.
IF you DID NOT READ THIS CONTEST PLEASE DO SO NOT BECAUSE i AM DEAD SERIOUS...30 WORDS OR LESS ONLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've removed 5 pieces already and it's not been posted an hour yet :(
