Hey, thanks for checking my contest out, please enter! I finally have enough points to hold a contest so here it is.
I will try to comment on every entry. If I say something that you disagree with, or if you can offer a different perspective that could alter my view of your poem feel free to send me a message.
It really irks me when someone fails to check their spelling! Please don't make me point out your mistakes.
I have ALMOST no preferences as to the poem's content or form. As long as the poem is good and is not adult, cutting, suicide, or the like it should be fine. Also, every other word better not be f**k, or other such words or I will remove you from the contest.
I WILL accept prewrites, but don't be afraid to enter a fresh poem.
Most of the rules can be seen in the previous paragraphs but here are some more...
1. AvOId tYPinG LiKE tHIs.
2. Please don't put it in paragraph form.
3. Limit your entries to 2 per person.
4. No bashing of people, religions, places etc.
5. Don't worry! I won't make you put some stupid random word in your Author's Notes just to prove that you read the rules.
The prizes are...
Gold 300 points
Silver 50 points
Bronze 30 points
The prizes will increase as I comment on your poems thereby earning more points!
New plan. I'm kinda busy right now, but I don't want to make you wait forever so I'll read and judge, then after the contest is over I'll comment on the poems.
