Damaged and broken

Standard rules
free verse only
if you rhyme, it better be good
and I mean really good
left align
no hard core erotic
soft sensual is fine
no emo and no TyPIng LIke ThIS...it's annoying as crap!

I will increase points and add silver as well as bronze and HM's if I get we enough entries.

please step outside the box
and loose the tunnel vision glasses...lol

Most of all, have fun but give me quality because I will remove anything that isn't. If you want to know what I like read some of my poetry or some of my favorites and you'll get an idea. I will judge fairly on what I like and that's just the way it is. If you are sensitive about critique then let me know in Authors Notes because I will not slam you, but I will comment honestly.

I am also opening another one so mossey over there as well and check it out.


Please no reserving...
I find people usually don't come back when they reserve unless it's a quickie contest.
Sorry but that's the way the cookie crumbles

What are you waiting for...pen me something beautimus with imagery and metaphors...

Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on May 3, 2008
  • Rewards: Gold: 600, Silver: 200, Bronze: 100, Honorable mention: 8 people
  • Final notes:
    This was one of the hardest contests I have judged in a while. I kept moving and rearranging the entries and this is where they ended up. All of you are worthy of recognition for sure but only one can have gold and so forth and so on...
    Please take the time to read the winners. You just might find a new friend as well as talent.
