Happy Anniversary Amera!

On April 15, 2008 Amera and I will celebrate our first anniversary on AP. I want to give everyone an apportunity to celebrate her in poetry, so I'll give the top three 1,000 points each. That's $49.95 worth according to AP!!

Do whatever you want. If I think it sucks I'll laugh at it and delete it. If you write a love poem to her I will delete it, hunt you down, and kill you. Pretty simple.... just write something she would enjoy, or tell her what's on your mind.

I am allowing prewrites for Artis and anyone who wrote for the contest I put up then deleted.

Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on April 25
  • Rewards: Gold: 1000, Silver: 1000, Bronze: 1000, Honorable mention: 5 people
  • Final notes:
    Well folks, this was a great success. These are all fine poems. I liked the ones by desire, PassionsPromise, and 2lullabyheaven best because they were truly anniversary poems, but Micol's spoke to me because I feel exactly the same way and have the priviledge of the bulk of her time. For that I am very, very grateful. The others are in an order that was not very well defined. I loved them all and had a hard time deciding order. Thanks to all who entered. It was appreciated.

    Good Lord, I didn't know Amera was a super model! Fight ya for her Allan. Pistols at 20 paces, swords, you name it. I'm also a black belt in kenpo karate. You do know that I’m kidding don’t you? I know she's not a super model.

          I came in last in Lane's last contest, so I have a spoon, too. Wanna mix up a cauldren of something mysterious? We should pick a contest, collaborate, and aim for last place together. What do you say?

    Allan, A truly beautiful contest in honor of a person that is the same and a wonderful poetess. My heartiest of congratulations go out to the winners and everyone who participated. Everyone should take a bow for their work and three cheers for Amera on her anniversary, which by the way is my nephew's birthday. LOL Love and God bless all of you, Joyce
