Round Contest! Round 1 of 4. Everyone welcome.

Okay, so I haven't done a contest in a long while so bear with me.
First of all this will be a round contest.
I will let you know the exact numbers of how many people there are in each round after I get a few poems.

Round 1
This is round one, anyone is welcome to submit a poem.
This poem can be about anything.
But I will give you a few hints.
I'm an adult, I like mature poetry. I don't mean "adult" poetry but nothing like bunnies or anything along those lines.
- on that subject I am not really into happy go lucky so if you write a happy poem you have to make it feel real.
-I like real emotions. Especially raw ones. Make your poem speak to me!


I will let you know more when this contest gets going.
For now there are no rules but that could change.

Have fun!!

P.S. Prizes may rise as well as silver and bronze prizes being added.

Contest will end in a week or when i have enough entries!!

UPDATE! I decided that the contest will close at 50 entries.
Keep them coming!

Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on June 11, 2008
  • Rewards: Gold: 300, Silver: 25, Bronze: 25
  • Final notes:
    You guys made this really hard so many of them were so good and I spent almost all of tonight just trying to figure out who would make it to the next round. I am excited to see what else the finalists come up with.
    Congrats to the winners and everyone who made it to the next round.
    The first 5 people on the finalists list are the gold silver bronze and HM respectively. Sorry no points for HM trying to save for the next three rounds.
    I will post the next round in a bit, like a half hour. I will probably send another message with the link and will put it here too.
    Thanks again

    Love
    Nikki
