We are revolving doors
There are doors that open by themselves
There are sliding doors
And there are secret doors
There are doors that lock
And doors that don't
There are doors that let you in
And out
But never open
But they are trapdoors
That you can't come back from.

*I want something original, unique, creative.
possibly abstract. but not necessarily.
*Please, write in whatever style you do best.
*Put some thought into whatever you write.
*As long as the inspiration comes from your contemplation of doors or "doors" or these lyrics, I don't mind if the poem strays a bit. If it makes sense to you, or you're proud of it, that's enough.
*If you aren't sure of what you've written, submit it anyways. Sometimes it takes somebody else to recognize your poetic genius, right?
*Enter as much as you want. But make sure prewrites are RELEVANT! I don't like wasting time.
kay lovies, go ahead! ♥

Wow, that is an interesting and very well fitting pic that you have for this contest. Those three doors all lined up look funny, seeing as the only thing they have in common is that they have knobs, but then, that happens with us people sometimes too. I hope you enjoy my poem.
God Bless -
Omg I am soooooo entering.
Love you sweetheart ♥

I love doors and I lovc the door you chose for this off-the-wall contest. Nice. Shancy.

I will enter but I hope you will find the time to comment on everyone because it's a nice thing to do. Not everyone places in a contest and the only recognition we get for writing poetry is comments.
I write poems for the comments because personally to me a comment is worth far more than a trophy.
This isn't a rant, or a sign of dissaproval about your contest. I just feel that a judge should either limit the number of entries so that he/she can feel confidant enough to devote time to each poem and comment or not hold a contest at all.
However, I admire your honesty for saying before we enter that comments may not be given to everyone.
unfortunately a comment from the judge we wish to impress is very important to our inspiration and drive to write something great to grab your approval.
(Thanks for reading I hope I have convinced you to try to write many fantastic comments for the poets that will work hard to write poems for you!
good luck everyone who is entering this

i think its time to judge this. or at least view some god damn poems. jesus..

-
so I guess someone's a little intense.
you have no idea how busy I've been since I made the contest, not beforehand.
just chill out.
and if you can't deal with how I'm running this, then feel free to remove your poem. I'm sure I won't miss it too much.

I love you Crash and thank you very much. I understand you've been busy but I miss your words, your poetry that keeps me going through the day and when I publish one of my novels, I will dedicated it to you and thank you for keeping me going.
ILY. I'm working on my story TRACKS which is I dunno how long, I'm just going as the characters tell me to and writing when they say I should.
Ah the magic of writing...
