Ok, this is a series of contest I have began holding...NOT rounds....just a series. You dont have to join, or win, every one.
All the contest will be on a designated Mythical creature (hinted in the specific title and picture, which may be used for inspiration)...and anything goes, as long as the rules are followed.
~~~ * ~~~
TOPIC:
For the third one, I want poems about WEREWOLVES.
*Keep in mind, not ALL have to be dark...and if the poem is BASED OR INSPIRED off a book, movie or other work, PLEASE note it in the Authors comments*
~~~ * ~~~
Guidelines:
1) nO StIcKy CaPs or ALL CAPS...I don't mind creative expression, or emphasis of a certain word or phrase, but I don't want a headache.
2) No bashing other poems, religion/belief systems/customs, programs/objectives, or people, (Automatic DQ) (I suggest that you critique the other entries, it's nice. Its by no means required, and will not influence my end judgment)
3) NO erotica, or anything of that nature. If I think it is, automatic DQ. Passion, though, is fine.
4) Cussing is allowed, but keep it minimum, and or tasteful.
5) The entry MUST be in ENGLISH, unless it's translated.
6) All entries must be marked appropriately.
7) The entry MUST be a poem, any form, though I prefer rhyme. If you really think you have a non-poem that is worth being in here, IM me, and I'll let you know if you may enter it. Prewrites ARE accepted, as long as they are on topic. I also am now requesting poems that dont have a bunch of Trophies (more than 5, HMs not included)...its only fair.
8) Please make sure the entry is edited correctly, I don't want to be reading a bunch of typos, or trying to decode phrases or weird punctuation (or lack of). I understand some think this interrupts the flow and what not - if that is the case, you can leave it out. I'm just telling you what I prefer to see.
~~~ * ~~~
Any comments, suggestions, or questions, feel free to IM me...
NOTE: I don't mean to OFFEND anyone, so if somehow the contest content, topic, or pic bother you, IM ME IMMEDIATLY, so we may work it out...thank you.
I'll be commenting on every entry, if I can...though I DO reserve the right to DQ, or not comment on any I please (if it comes to that, you may IM me for justification, but I doubt it will come to it, but this is a precaution).
I also reserve the right to edit and or add to rules and regulations, dates, and awards (I will most likly add more places/points, depending on amount of entries).

Sit and wait for sundown / Can you hear us coming? / Hear the howling? / You're in my world now / Darkness surrounds you / I'm getting closer / You run and cry but your going to die / Over your shoulder youby DirtyDeerock 34 lines, 3 comments, on Jun 3 10:46 PM 2007• Commented on by judge. Prewrite

The wolf is my totem. It is my existence and a state of mind. He permeates my being in his ways.
