I am looking for entries that are tight and creative, metaphoric and original
I prefer:
- left alignment
- simple backgrounds please
- free verse
- sensual entries are fine, but please no ill-written erotica or pornography—if you are inspired to write such, please do, but enter it in another contest
- this contest may be extended beyond the original date, due to traveling schedules
- points may be added if I see what I like

one wonders if this contest is not perhaps beyond my age range. is it intended to be such?

That is entirely up to you and what you are comfortable with. I am not necessarily looking for sensual or adult entries, it is just that if one is going to write something adult, I would prefer it not be pornographic. You will be starting college in a couple of weeks--I suspect that you would do just fine with this challenge.

I was really looking forward to reading you, but I certainly understand--maybe next time, if school doesn't bog you down too much. Best of luck getting all situated with school and adjusting to college--and have fun during orientation
