CALLING ALL TEENAGERS......

Okay. Here is the deal.
I want to hear from some poets my age.
Im 16 so thats about 13 - 19
But here's the catch.
It has got to be damn good.
If I haven't gotten a reputation
for being a blunt judge.
I am slowly working on it.

Because thats it.
I'm HARSH.

So, you've been warned.

Now for what I want from you.
I want stunning work which in my book means:
*NO Rhyme
*NO funny typing
*Lots of imagery
*Lots of metaphors


But those are just some hints

Basically I want your soul on a platter.
Don't give me cliche.
Look it up if you dont know what that means.
I want melted gold
I want verbalized perfection.

Now here are your options:

1. Loss of innocence
2. Being trapped
3. Desperation
4. Infinity
5. Buddha's Nirvana, NOT THE BAND (I'm Buddhist)
6. Life through another being or animal
7. Seeing life through a "god's" eyes.
8. being fed up with humans
9. Betrayal
10. a nice twist on love or romance

that last one is almost deadly.

There are your options.
I used to have a enter what you like option but people didnt realize that what they liked was crap. and I didnt want to waste my time reading it.

So in your authors comments I want 2 things
NOT THAT HARD.
Your option number
and your age.
If thats missing DQ instantly.
NO reprieves.

So if youre not scared witless yet
here are my rules.

1. If you bitch about what I said DQ
2. If you rhyme. IT BETTER BE ASTONISHING
3. SPELL CHECK
4. If I give you suggestions. TAKE THEM and then message me back
5. If I DQ with out a comment, it's really awful.


Kay GO
UNLIMITED ENTRIES
I might up the points
depends how good.
I might up the number of entries
once again depending on
the decency of the poems

ummm. Why are you still reading this?

  • Final notes:
    Wow so let me start off by saying... I AM NEVER DOING A CONTEST LIKE THIS AGAIN. I've never recieved so much bitching and complaining in my life. Maybe it's just a maturity thing but FYI if I am running a contest then I get to read your entries and say how I feel about them. Have you never been in a contest before?????????

    well anyway Some entries were horrid and some were okay but my finalist were GREAT!
    and I would like to thank them for that because The truth is, if the work is good then i cant say anything mean or bad about it.


    So in first

    Brown Eyes- this piece was just stunning it was a prose with so many images that I almost cried. GREAT WRITE!!

    Second

    Claustraphobic- I love how the author presneted this one. It was a very interesting read and a great write in general.

    Third

    Paint by number- something aboutally struck this poem just really struck me and I loved it!

    My two honorale mentions did a great job too.

    Soo kudos to my winners


    and to all of you who didnt like the way I judged heres a tip: dont enter one of my contest again. that way we will both be spared the greif.


    Peace, Love, and Buddha to you all.

    I like the contest but that last comment made me a little irked. "I used to have a enter what you like option but people didnt realize that what they liked was crap. and I didnt want to waste my time reading it." That's everyones opinion on what they liked, and to them it's like gold. Even if to you it's crap. That your opinion on their opinion. So if you asked for it then you got it. As the saying goes, "Be careful what you wish for." Now to enter the contest ^^

    I find it somewhat amusing and hypocritical that you insist on the entries spell-checking, yet you yourself don't. This contest seems more like a narrow minded power trip rather than anything else. Yes, this comment is probably considered bitching, but I'm not planning on entering.
