You may enter up to 3 prewrite poems under 60 lines and I will reply with the following checklist.
__ Creativity / Originality
__ Imagery
__ Metaphor
__ Emotion
__ Reaction
__ Relatability
__ Fluency
__ Powerful Beginning
__ Powerful Middle
__ Powerful Ending
__ Connecting Ideas
__ Interesting Idea Behind Piece and/or a Message Behind Piece
__ Interesting In General (Does Not Bore)
If your piece is missing any of these when I give it the checklist, I will remove it from the contest when you can enter again (the amount depending on how much I removed, up to 3 allowed in at a time.)
If you have every component of the checklist your piece gets moved to the Preliminary Finalist list; where I will judge farther into the pieces to decide winners.
Closes at my discretion. HMs or more points may be added at my discretion.

im scared to enter o.o

sounds great- can't wait to enter.

Hey what do you mean by:
Reaction
Relatability
Fluency
so I can pick better poems this time.. New 3 lol -
-
The contest is closed because I recieved over 115.
But I'll be having another soon because this one worked out so well.
Reaction would be it really makes the reader feel something and touches them in some way.
Relatability would be like you wrote it in a way so that the piece feels real and meaningful to the reader.
Fluency would be how it flows.
Hope this helps.
