I look over all these contests with such limiting prompts, all a picture or a single quote and your lucky to see even the minimum number of entries.
my prompt is simple - wow me with your short (less than 20 lines) poetry
I love metrical poetry
I like good rhyme
but I love perfection.
I prefer fresh work but if you think its that darn good, give me a prewrite.
the points will increase as I see fit for the level of quality of entrants.
Good Luck!

couldn't agree with you more!

I have a good one, but you have to know the Beatles fairly well to understand it. if you don't get it, read this: http://www.beatleslyricsarchive.com/viewSong.php?songID=213 and it'll make more sense (note: song doesn't make much sense either)

ooh, how nice, a contest with some flexibility! too bad I am so awful at metrical poetry. good luck with this =)
-
Good luck with your contest. By allowing pre-writes, you should get more pieces then you can read. It will take some time to judge this.

Congratulations to the winners and a big thanks to our host for a great contest. Thanks so very much for the gold trophy and points. glad you liked it.
