Dancing With the Scars

We all have scars, some physical, some emotional, some bigger than others. I want to hear about your scars, how you got them, how you deal with them, how they affect your everyday life, how you would be different without them. I've got ooooodles of points so they will increase if I get some worthy pieces. If you're unsure of what I like, go to my page, read some of my stuff, you'll have a better chance of winning a nice shiny thing!

I like rhyme, I like funny, but a really good free verse has just as good a chance of winning, just impress me!

rules -

1. no bashing each other, God, or your mama

b. no chat speak or funky typing

5. keep it readable, if I have to highlight it, I won't!

x - keep cursing to a minimum, smart people don't need it!

12 - play nice, it's good to comment on someone else's piece, isn't that one reason for us all being here?

a.1- no erotica, I won't read it. lable all poems appropriately


I reserve the right to cancel this without notice if I don't get enough entries or if the ones I do get stink! You can complain, but it won't do you any good, cause the points are all mine!!! (insert maniacl laughter here!)

  • Final notes:
    wow! I am blown away by the response to this contest. I cannot believe it filled up so quickly. I think there will be a "Dancing with the Scars 2" coming soon so yall watch for it. The entries were amazing and judging was very difficult. The top three were all neck and neck and it really could have gone any way. I want to say thank you to each one of you who entered and shared your story with me. May God bless you and keep you. Till next time!!!!

    Moderator Note:
    Sorry for the confusion everyone. We had to reopen the contest due to the PREVIOUS winner being a plagiarized poem. All placements have just been moved up a notch but kept intact otherwise. Congrats to all and again, sorry for the confusion.
