I'm in the mood for some different kinds of poems. Doesn't that sound like a good idea? So we've got lots of options for you to choose from.
Gold: points and i read all of your poems and comment.
Silver: points and I read and comment on your pick of five poems of yours.
Bronze: points and i read and comment on your pick of three poems.
HM: Sorry, no pints and no trophy. But i will give recognition to three poets as HM winners, and I will read and comment on the poem of their choice. one poem only, though. Sorry.
Option one:
10 ENTRIES ALLOWED ONLY IN THIS OPTION!!!
Enter your favorite and BEST prewritten poem.
If there are already ten prewritten poems, don't enter one!
I don't want cliche people: you better re-read it and make sure it's good because from my previous contests I'm getting kind of sick of reading old stuff because you were too lazy to write something new. I know that seems harsh, but that's my point of view right now.
Option two:
picture prompts:
NO PREWRITES FOR THIS OPTION (obviously)
Use as much creativity as you can.

d. http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm89/WANESSA_028/love.jpg
Option three:
titles:
NO PREWRITES FOR THIS OPTION (obviously)
You must use the title you choose as your title
Each title may only be used once
Some of the titles call for more delicate poets than others. I'M 14!!!! Act accordingly.
I'm looking for interesting takes on the titles. Don't, whatever you do, include the title in your poem. Take it as more of a symbolic view of whatever you take the poem towards. i worked hard to come up with really creative titles- it's your job to work hard to come up with really creative poems.

NO PREWRITES!
Write me a poem about love, with a twist. i don't want a cliche love poem here. "i love you, you love me, we're a happy family! yay!" No! none of that bull*bunny*. I want an interesting take on love. Maybe it's a one sided love, maybe it's a parasitic love. Just make it more interesting than happily ever after.

Option seven:
NO PREWRITES!

RULES (you knew they would be there somewhere)
1) include your option number and, if there is one, your choice withing the option number in your AN. So, if you choose pic prompt, include the option number and the pic letter. If you choose titles, put the option number and the title.
2) Also to be included in your AN are: your AP name and the amount of poems you've written (yes, it is valid seeing as the winner will have me comment on all of their poems) and your age. I've found sometimes it's more important to write above your age level than to write better than someone else. And also put "I love poetry!" so i know you read the rules.
3) Be open to constructive critiscism. I will be giving it.
4) Be grammatically correct.
5) Keep it appropriate. I'm 14 years old and i want to be able to read all of the entries!
READ ALL OF THE RULES! IF YOU'VE GOT A PROBLEM WITH THE FACT THAT I HAVE HIGH STANDARDS, YOU CAN LEAVE!
If your entry doesn't follow all of the rules within a week of you entering, I'm going to have to DQ you. I'm sick of people who don't pay attention.
have i scared you off yet? Cuz' if not, you're pretty brave. i like that. So get writing!

how many times can we enter?
-
don't think you want me to enter, I have 300 poems lol
-
How many times can we enter i like most of the titles.
-
i have 700 poems. ekkkkkkkkkk
-
Only one entry per person. Sorry, everybody. And i don't really care how many poems you have. I just want to know what I'm getting myself into, that's all. I don't like getting caught off guard.
-
Alright, everybody! No more prewrites! that option is officially closed!
-
Ok, guys. for those of you who haven't figured it out, I'm commenting on all of the entries only to see if they have everything in their AN for now. I'll comment on the actual poems in a little bit. Promise.
-
I'm not getting enough entries, so you can now enter as many entries as you want as long as they follow the rules.
-
option one is pre-writes and there are only 5 poems listed as option one (you said 10 allowed) why can't I enter pre-write?
-
There are five listed as option one but there are ten pre-writes total. It's just that some people don't read the rules because they're dumb! Gr... And I'm sick and tired of having to go through and DQ half of the people in my contests so I'm not going to. Take it up with them.
