Okay, so I won this PIF contest:
http://allpoetry.com/contest/2401193
With this poem:
http://allpoetry.com/poem/4142845
As already stated in the title of this contest, this is the first PIF I hold, so... whatever.
Your prompt here is:
Reserve
You didn't understand?
I'm not allowing any reservation places for this one. Instead, you're going to write a poem which you would use as a reservation sign for another contest, something like:
"In benefit of my poetical skills
I take this place as own
Ensuring the muse to grow
Once I get the inspiring shock"
Rules:
5 lines maximum, and I don't want the lines to have more than 10 words each.
I'd prefer no rhyming.
If YoU wRiTe LiKe ThIs, liek diz OR LIKE THIS, you'll have no possibilities to win.
I like proper grammar, orthography and punctuation.
Dirty pretty doesn't seem to fit in 5 lines.
I don't see the point of cursing in something like this, nor the possible adult content.
The gold winner must Pay It Forward as well, you don't want the PIF chain to end, right? Use at least 300 points for doing so.
Writing is fun. Go ahead.

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on April 25
- Rewards: Gold: 400, Silver: 200, Bronze: 100
- Final notes: I'm sorry I took so long for judging this contest, but besides the lack of entries, I've been very busy at school.
I hope this contest helped you understand HOW ANNOYING is to reserve a place in a contest with plain words such as "Reserve plz". I'd suggest all of you to keep your poems, copy/paste them into a .TXT and use them for reserving a place in a contest, of course, including a line that would say that it's just a reservation sign and has nothing to do with the real contest. All of your entries were beautiful, however I had to choose three of them, and if I didn't choose you, I'm sorry, but you can always do better and better next times.
