This is my first contest and I'd love to read more peoples work...We're all humans, and I'm guessing we've all had our fair share of mistakes? Well, I would like to hear all about them! Let the love of you life marry someone else? Let high-school pass by with very little work achieved? Or even something like missing a deadline!! I want something that will make me laugh or make me cry!
A poem that can draw on what has been learnt from your mistakes is what I'd love to read! Good luck!
Rules:
- No erotica
- No Sticky keys
- Prewrites are fine but a new poem will be looked upon more favorably.
- No insulting other poets.
-Spelling and grammar count but the actual poem its self is what I'll be looking at.
Good luck!!

I paused for a second before I lied to you, I find it hard, I really do. Reeling from this feeling I should nail myself to the ceiling for thinking the thoughts I do, but can I really be blamed when it's someone like you? I t• Commented on by judge. Prewrite [remove]

HaHa! Got the FIRST poem in the contest! It wasn't a fault of mine, but it is still a fault! Enjoy!

WOW!! What a great idea for a contest! I will have to see if I can come up with something for this...Does not following your heart count

Thanks!! I thought of the idea during Physics, (a time when most of my ideas come to me as I most certianly cannot focous on or understand the work!!) Not following your heart most definately counts! Look forward to reading your work!

I don't blame you, I had an awful time with Physics too
Well if that counts, and you said "make me cry" well that may not be sooooo good, cause what I have in mind will most definately do that
I will save my spot now

Thank You
Hi, I've been kind of flakey with AP lately, had a lot of other stuff on so i'm not sure if I thanked you for the gold. So here it is, thank you! Means a lot to me to get gold, I like to know others like my words.
