Submit your best poem, and if you win, you actually have talent. In the improbable event that more than three people have talent, I'll let you know that you had talent but not enough to win gold. If I know you don't enter, especially if you think criticism will cause tears to form, or produce a reaction whose side effect is a thousand lousy poems about your despondency. Its time this site had a real judge, so here I am. For all the real judges hidden in the mist, hate me for not recognizing your talent--I'm impervious to the ill effects.
Rules:
3) don't suck or I'll let you know you do, which could damage you.
If you are 13 or 14 you probably suck, nothing personal, I sucked.... So be bold, but don't be reckless.
elephant) Make sure its your best. How I shudder in fear of what I will see....

Just watch as she screams in pain / Laugh as she goes insane / Her tainted blood starts to stain / Let it tell its story, let it explain / / Just watch as the days collapse / Tears of pain as she finally snapsby KJxMonster 23 lines, 2 comments, on Apr 26 7:40 PM 2007• Commented on by judge.

I'll have you know, I wrote the beginning to this series of poetry when I was 14...and I think it was a damn good poem. This is the second. Finished when I was 16. If you have even a modicum of the judging talent you say you do, than surely you can appreciate the art I have just submitted to you. I'm not trying to be rude, or condescending. I just figured you might like to know. Thank you for the opportunity to enter this contest. And I hope you will appreciate this poem for what it is worth. Have a good day.

Rimbaud was great at 17. Kate Bush published her first songs at 16.

you ea, are one of the best poets, if not the best, on the site. why did you have to go with something so obtuse? and now the frail psychology of genius, injured by my fun, lays crushed and ironic. Commenting positively on my humor while setting me on ignore. I checked your page, young friend, you're brilliant. Give Vonnegut my Hello, that crazy chemist.
-
-
I only set you on ignore temporarily, as I find that vicious commenters tend to continue the repartee down the page of my poem, which is something I do not appreciate. Well, I would say hello to Kurt, as I do go to Dresden from time to time, but he died.

A friendly caution to the 'Best Judge on AP':
The art of good judging is surely defined by the ability to offer an impartial yet constructive critique to those who have made the effort to enter your contest. Whilst you may argue they are your points you have up for grabs, they didn't exactly cost you an arm or a leg now, did they?
You seem to find a perverse pleasure in taking your commenting to a more personal level, which is tantamount to insulting your fellow poets. Don't pick fights...that's just very poor form, and not 'good' judging by any stretch of the imagination.
Not only that, but it's pathetically arrogant, too.

So wait; can I enter?
-
-
Eyes don't enter! I'm being horribly cruel to so many people, I might be cruel to you, and I could not live with myself if I was.
-
-
But, but, you like my work. You wouldn't be cruel, you can contain it.
Please.

errrm I don't think any of you had a gun to your head to enter this, I'm assuming most people that entered did so because they would actually appreciate the views of some one who wont just tell you your work is great to keep you happy.I applaud david for having the guts to tell it how it is and giving proper views on our works

....is this some sort of blatant flattery to get me to enter?

So far the best poem in here was stolen from someone else's prose. Come on, seriously?
-
You people do realize this guy's just fucking with you, right?

spoil sport.

I'd love to enter this, but I checked out your poems, and your comments, and man...you must have two dicks, no-one could be that silly, just playing with one...
-
It's pointless in me entering. The best critic on AP would see strait through me.
-
I have only one problem...I dont know which of my poems is best!!! oh no...Ill work it out though...hopefully...
-
Now I have a question....does it matter how long it is? coz my best ones are really short...
-
-
If your poems are the shorter the better, just send me a title.
-
-
Come on people, relax. Getting angry with me is like finding refuge from your own insecurities. And I'll tell you something else, the fact that you are proud of your work, whether its because you spelled all the words right, or made up a word that rhymes with octopus, doesn't mean that the human race has to be proud with you. I'm not your father--just because you've finally taken a crap in a real toilet doesn't mean I have to reinforce you with praise. To continue the analogy, if life is coming in like baby food, its going to come out mushy and green.
