Contest of the Shorts!

I'm looking for short poetry with depth to them. I wrote my favorite poem of mine in a contest like this... i was surprised how such a dramatic limitation pushed forth stunning words.

I like anything... Your only limitation is that the poem must be in 20 words or less. GO!

Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on May 6, 2008
  • Rewards: Gold: 300, Silver: 100, Bronze: 50, Honorable mention: 3 people
  • Final notes:
    Loved hosting this contest- I got to read some wonderful poems.

    The first and second place poems happened to be on large universal questions: Religion, and Existance... and the HUGE topics is not why they happened to be in the first two spots... (In case you were wondering. Maybe you wouldn't have even noticed)

    But really I learned a lot from you guys and picked up a lot of good techniques and topics for my future writing, so thank you.

    Thanks for the reads!

    broken heart

    I still love you...
    Even though we're apart,
    I still watch you through
    the hole in my heart.

      I'd be happy to consider this poem in the contest... so if you could submit it more formally... then I can put it in with the rest of the lot
