Okay, so I just want to read some poetry, and I figured I'd get more entries if I allowed prewrites, so this is what this contest is about. Give me your best prewrites, or if you're feeling really creative, a fresh write works too. There is a decent point count and HM's will be awarded. You may enter as many times as you like. READ THE RULES!!!!!!!!!! Anyone not in compliance with the rules will be DQ'd, NO EXCEPTIONS!!!!!
RULES DAMMIT:
*I reserve the right to judge and DQ as I see fit.
*I will comment on EVERY entry.
*I'm assuming since we are all on a poetry site and typing on a computer, we have all had at least one language class in our lifetimes and know which keys do what. IF U TYP3 LYK TIZ U WIL B D3L3T3D!!!!
*Be respectful of other competitors, NO TRASHING OR BASHING!! You can't be badass with a keyboard, sorry.
*No backgrounds that are eye-sores. I like to be able to read people's works.
*It is not required, but it is a nice thing to do to comment on fellow competitor's works.
*Label entries accordingly.
*Spots can be reserved FOR FRESH WRITES, if any.
*Enter as many times as you like.
