Prewrites Quickie

I really want to read excellent poetry. So, enter the prewrite that you believe is one of your best.

Hints:
+ I love free-verse.
- I don't usually care for rhyming.
- Humor is okay, but not a favorite.
+ I love abstract.
- Erotica is a no-no.
- So is anything extremely dark.
+ Vivid imagery is amazing.
+ Enjoy intriguing metaphors.
- Don't enter something that's won a trophy before.
- Don't enter if you've got hundreds of trophies to your name.

That's about it. Go crazy. Impress me.

Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on April 29
  • Rewards: Gold: 300, Silver: 200, Bronze: 100, Honorable mention: 7 people
  • Final notes:
    Well, this definitely wasn't what I'd expected. A couple of you entered poems that already had trophies attached, a few rhymed... Anyone know how to read my hints? haha. Anyway.. Poem quality was also not up to what I'd expected, but ah well. Wish I could give a couple more people gold/silver/bronze... as it is, they are in order of my favorites. Thanks for entering, and make sure to look for more contests of mine! =]
