You wrote your ass off to create the perfect write for that contest and you didn't even get an Honorable Mention. Well, let's rehash those poems and see which were truly worthy of trophies! So, kindly poets, dust off that collection and find me one amazing write. We'll have fun, I promise! I'm giving away a nice points package and depending on participation, the HM's and points will go up (I've just been sitting on these points for awhile, you guys should share them!)
Da rulez:
-Everyone together (shudder)
#29 -I will comment on each offering.
#17 -Label everything appropriately, there's no reason for little ones to read adult content.
#10.4a -One poem per customer, please. Your write must not have won any awards prior to entry in this contest.
#&@!&$ -Any form or style, bring out the funniest, quirkiest, weirdest, darkest...I would love to see skillful use of poetic devises- metaphors, similes, rhyme, alliteration, meter. I'm not a big fan of sticky caps, I won't DQ your poem, but it won't have much chance of winning.
#5 -Most importantly, be civil to all participating. Manners are social lubricant!

Thanks! Rules are a funny concept, hard, fast layouts for behavior that get twisted and broken so often. Why not have fun with it?
