your personal best

this is my first contest, and i wanted to keep it simple. give me your best poem, the one youre most proud of, the one that shows the awesome writer you are. brownie points for the strange, weird, odd, out there, etc.

a few guidelines:

1. if it ryhmes, make sure its damn good and not forced. (im guilty of forced ryhming myself. bleh.)

2. avoid anything too lovey dovey or happy, most of those just wont have a chance.

3. im ok with dirty pretty if its good, but avoid StIcKy CaPs please.

4. i dont give a hoot about grammar or punctuation, but try and correct your spelling.

5. i like erotica, especially anything particularly kinky or out there. bring on the blood, gore, whips, chains, or just plain odd.

6. dont bash other authors or their beliefs.

7. if its about politics or religon, make sure its not biggoted. im all for thoughts on these things, but i have an open mind, and hope you do too!

8. comment on other entries please, its not everyay you get to read someones best!
