PRE - WRITES WITHOUT TROPHIES ONLY

If you enter your poem in another contest while it is in
my contest and you get a trophy from the other contest, please
remove your poem from my contest. Thanks! )

I have ALWAYS RULES that keep my contest from being
something everybody wants to enter. My feelings won’t be hurt. If you don’t
want to follow these rules, there are MANY other contest you can
enter.
1. Write complete sentences with correct punctuation.
2. Spell correctly. (Your word processor should have a Spell Check feature.)
3. Be sure your poem has an obvious Beginning, Middle and End.
4. Write complete thoughts rather than just poetic phrases.
5. Don't make me have to get my dictionary out more than twice.




NO NOs



1. No sticky caps.
2. No cutting.
3. No incomplete sentences because that will get the poem DQ’d.
4. No depressing stuff
5. No death…………6. No child abuse……….7. No potty mouth
8. No cursing…………9. No describing of any sex act

………………….…………………..

Here are some things that will get
your work DISQUALIFIED and REMOVED
without further notice:

Death....... ..........Child abuse
Self abuse…... ........Cursing
Potty mouth……. .........Dirty Pretty
Not making requested corrections
