My last contest of this nature was a huge success, and once again I'd like to thank all the poets who entered, because it wouldn't have been a success without them!!!
So now that I've gathered some more points, I'd like to host another one...with one or two little changes.
RULES:
1. NO PREVIOUS TROPHIES!!!<---this is a must!!!
2. Please read the rules!
3. No excessive violence or swearing.
4. Please label your adult poems appropriately.
5. Please read the rules!
6. You may enter more than once, but if you do please send me a message with your poem titles so that when it comes time to judge I don't award you more than once.
7. No poems longer than 50 lines, or shorter than 10 lines.
8. No suicide/self harm.
9. I don't mind erotic poems, but lets be tasteful about it please.
10. Please read the rules!
As always, I'm not fussy about style of writing - so rhyme/don't rhyme. While I really am a fairly intelligent person I don't like having to run for my dictionary every 5 seconds.
Just to add a little twist of interest...if possible please could you put in your Author Notes the reason or inspiration behind your poem.
Thanks, and have fun!
Luck.
PS: just so I know you've read the rules please add "Rules suck" in your AN too. I'd hate to have to remove your poem.

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on June 20, 2008
- Rewards: Gold: 600, Silver: 300, Bronze: 100, Honorable mention: 5 people
- Final notes: Hi everyone!
Once again, I'd like to say a HUGE thank you to you all for entering my contest!!!
This was pretty difficult to judge because your writing is all so exceptionally wonderful. I love the different styles, the way your poems speak to me in their individual ways...absolutely fantastic!!!
I was quite a bit stricter this contest than I was the last time, and if you didn't get added to my finalists it's more than likely because your poems did not meet the requirements of the contest...IE: you didn't read the rules! Which in most cases was VERY unfortunate because I believe your poems to be worthy of being on my finalists.
What I especially like is I've got some new favourites
Once again, a HUGe thanks, and well done to the winners, your poems are brilliant.
Blessings,
Luck.

Do you mean no prior trophies on the poem, or at all?
In the event of the former, I will enter. If the latter, then I wish you and your contestants the best of luck.
