It's been a while since I've had a contest, so I thought I'd do one!!
As week's go, this has been a shit one. My husband decided he didn't wanna be married anymore, and chucked me out. As you can imagine, I'm pretty heartbroken. So that is the theme of this contest.
Write sad, happy, hopeful, whatever you want about heartbreak.
As always, I've some rules -
- No dirty pretty
- If it has adult content, mark accordingly, I do not want to be responsible for warping any more minds!
- NoNe Of ThIs PlEaSe
Not so much a rule, but please be kind to my eyes and have sensible background/font selection, my eye sight is poor enough!!
I think that's all, I don't like to many bounderies, just see where heartbreak takes you!

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on June 11, 2008
- Rewards: Gold: 300, Silver: 100, Bronze: 75, Honorable mention: 2 people
- Final notes: Hi! sorry it's taken me so long to judge this, and comment on some entries, I just wanted to take my time as I was so blown away by the entries.
This has by far been my best contest, both in terms of volume of poems and quiality of poems. This is why it took me so long as I wanted to do justice to all entries.
Thank you so much to everyone who entered, and thank you to those who left me a message of best wishes, although it doesn't help your chances!! LOL
Congrats to all winners, it was a hard decision, but very enjoyable at the same time.
Hopefully I shall 'run into' a lot of you again as I have enjoyed all the poems.

thank you!! i have my good moments and bad.
Right now I'm in a 'I hate him' stage, but that will change soon I'm sure LOL
I know exactly what you mean about two steps forward, three back.
Thanks for your kind words, it's nice to hear from someone who knows what it's like.

Sorry if my poem is a lil depressing. I wrote it when I found out my bf was using me to get to my best friend... oh well, i'm over it. your better off without this guy, trust me.

I can't believe I won gold AND bronze. Wow! That's a first.
It's an honor, especially with so many great entries.
I hope things work out with your marriage, if that's what you want. If not, I hope you find someone new soon and experience a higher, permanent love. I also hope my poems helped you feel a little bit better. That's always the ultimate prize.
Thanks,
Mark
