Short pieces - Prewrites Allowed. Bring the good stuff!

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 :(
