--image is not prompt; I just love fashion photography--
[EDIT:] Disclaimer: Due to certain comments and entries I have received; and the fact that someone blocked me for no good reason; I am going to start putting up disclaimers on my contests. If you can't handle constructive criticism and honesty, do NOT enter my contests. I have never and will never bash the poet. That is unacceptable. I will however point out what I didn't like in the poem and make suggestions on how to improve it. I cannot help it if you are going to take it personally when my comments are strictly objective and poem-based. I am done giving fluff comments; if you are going to give me sub-par work to read and waste my time, I will say so. I am not going to award my hard earned points to whiners or people who believe that their poems are without mentionable flaws. I am only trying to help improve the poems. Also, if you are just entering because of the high point value and give me rotten zebra flesh to read, I will be not be forgiving. Go waste someone else's time. Thank you

prompt: Eureka
...what have you found?
1.] I'd pay close attention to grammar if I were you
2.] Do not enter poem in another contest
3.] No erotica
4.] Surprise me
5.] Don't you dare waste my time
6.] I want it to be extra bold; like Sumatra coffee
-Have fun.

-

-
-
and lol @ you and your sumatra<3
-
-
heh heh heh gotta love the extra bold
-
-
Eureka!
I have found you!!!! -
-
yay! como estas????
-
-
Great for YAY! but 'como estas' must mean something which I dont know lol
-
-
it's Spanish for how are you
-
-
I am fine, but you got me thinking of what I have found...too many little things or are they nothing????
Ok another Spanish phrase==como estas= from you...My lesson number 2... -
-
hehe It's always fun to learn new things
-
de nada and como estas....difficult to write Spanish poetry with my 'vast' vocab..guess I will postpone that for now...
ALl the best in the contest...Might hit Eureka while eating my breakfast...you never..if it can hit you in the tub, it can hit you anywhere!!! -
-
yea
you have time. this is not a quickie! 
-
Don't forget 'desde luego'
-
-
Thanks for the reminder..I had forgotten that phrase..
Psst..I even forgot what that means....
I know you will tell me
-
-
Of course I can tell you
Desde luego=of course
HEH
-
-
ofcourse!!!lol soon I will be doing Spanish poetry now...
BEWARE!!!! -
-
Hahah I wouldn't recommend that--unless you're Sailor Ptolema or a Spanish-speaker..it's hard.
-
-
after a few more lessons atleast...
seriously speaking...I guess writing in 2 languages is enough!!!
Even posted a few of them I wrote in Urdu on this site with translation...
-
-
Indeed
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
Ooh didn't notice this..
-
...what have you found?
LMAO that's too clever & witty...I think I hand my certification as a Red Fox to you man
"Don't you dare waste my time"
Even when I put things like "Non-crap writes", I end up commenting on SHIT
& I HATE other people who enter their (usually poorly written) entries in other contests...:/
GRR
-
Oh yes, why the hell is Bronze 48 points?
LMAOLMAO stands out -
-
because i wanted to make my points have three zeroes after it , 10,000.like that, it looks nice
-
-
LMAO true, true. But 48 isn't exactly generous.
Although...2000 is...Bloody hell!!
I entered. :/ As you must know...LMAO, it was a jokey write that insults you-know-who for about...10% of the time. Will you eat me alive?
-
-
don' be a qreaton
..they're my points 
-
-
Okay possessive woman
Are you gonna co-judge later w. somebody for this one?
-
-
hey'! i'm giving out 2000 points for gold and 900 for silver! that is not possessive
I might; it's possible; we'll see, depends on how difficult the entries are to judge; generally speaking if i feel they're all of more-or-less equal caliber (high quality) i might ask someone for a 2nd perspective. -
-
I know what 'caliber' means...what the hell was your definition for?!
You think I'm dumb just 'cause I didn't know what bloody 'antediluvian' meant...=[ -
-
& 'clastic'
-
no; i don't think you're dumb silly ; i just wanted to differentiate ; b/c i could read weak poems that are all of equal caliber
-
-
God, you're patronizingly pretentious
"weak poems that are all of equal caliber"
EWWWWWW I've read those kind of things before.
p_n_a_n can kiss my ass
-
-
heh
-
-
Not very subtle, was it?
-
-
-
-
-
-

Strangely enough I read the reminder while sitting in the bath, I shall not howver run naked through the streets proclaining the fact.
-
you know what? i'm just going to reserve a place
-
-
yay twin!
-
-
Pre-writes are on?!
-
Thank the gods this is open for a while. I'm temporarily having a brain fart.
-

-
-
Zebra flesh...HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
-
-
I'm done putting up with torture.
-
-
Gotcha...
Although, you're probably still going to put up with it. Many people don't bother reading rules, which angers the balls out of me
-
-
Then I shall DQ without a second thought
-
-
Hmm. Nice. W/o a warning? How lovely!
-
-
they will have a warning in the disclaimer If they choose not to read; too bad for them.
-
-
True, true.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
Well that is a bonny disclaimer
Could you no' be a little bit tamer
Zebra flesh that is dead?
Call all "awesome" instead
It nice (if a little bit lamer)
Keep up the good work. I'll be posting a few suppurating and puerile verses for you to lay into forthwith. Grrrr! -
-
I would appreciate it if you would refrain from torturing me with juvenile poetry. Thanks.

He's just trying to mess with you. He knew it would get you all riled up.

-
The most frequently used words in this disclaimer are I, me, and my. As they say aboot here: Whit does that tell ye? Awa and bile yer heid.
-
-

-
Go back to your mom's stomach & make her have an abortion.
-
-
Uhh, talking about Keith, not you Roo
-
-
-
I can't count the number of times I've been put on ignore. LOL.
It's almost... fun.
Definitely amusing, at any rate.
Revel in it! The beauty of silence from stupid people is short-lived.
-
-
Thank you Nicole I know; I feel liberated Was even harassed today for leaving an honest comment on a terribly written and inappropriate poem for my rice krispie contest ....I got him reported to the mods It was really funny that an adult man was throwing a tantrum LOL
-
-
lol you know, I went through this whole period of trying to get myself banned from the site. It's actually REALLY hard. I mean, I think you have to be a complete jackass to get there. lol
-
-
ahahahahaha . I love you Nicole You crack me up Yea; he started saying stuff like F*** you Slut...etc etc really nice guy.
-
-

One can hope. -
-

-
-
aahahahhahahhah huzzah for Darwin...& his finches

I am so sad that you had to endure poets who do not understand true creative criticism and would actually give you flack about it!
It is also sad that so many people are not more serious about their writing that they would invite suggestions and criticism as a means to improve...sigh
~ J
PS. Are you going to reread the entries again before your final decision. I have edited mine quite a bit. Been thinking about it a lot. -
-
thank you sprite!! all entries will be reread!
-
-
WHOO HOO! (to the disclaimer about rotten zebra flesh poetry)
You get 'em gurlina!
-
-
thank you so much!
-
-
some amazing entries....damn!
-
-
i know; thank goodness
-
-
I like the disclaimer and am with you on that.
Poets can be freaks sometimes... Me included. -
-
-
-
I am ignoring 26 and only five are ignoring me
so I guess i'm the bigger freak. lol
-
-
-
i am so amazed, and so honored...you are lovely babe! thanks and congrats to everyone..amazing work can be found here
