I can't believe I'm doing this again.

I reserve the right to critically review each poem entered.

I also reserve the right to Not critically review each poem entered.

I reserve the right to pull any poem at any time with no reason or warning.

I reserve the right to pull poems during the contest that will not win in order for me to judge the contest easily.

The following are not hints to help you win, only a heads up about personal preference.

I DO NOT GENERALLY CARE FOR RHYME. There are exceptions, but not often.

I like grammar A Lot.

I like pre-writes because it gives me hope that the poem has been edited at least once.

If you don't like what has been written here, don't enter. Don't comment and tell me how fucked up my contest is or how fucked up I am. I'm holding this contest because I genuinely want to read good poetry.


I opened the contest back up for another day. I probably won't finish judging until mid-week.

    wow...

    I am impressed with this contest! I really like that you laid it all out there and said "Fuck you if you don't like it." I admire you for that, so, I submitted my poem "[Darkness seeps from the shadows]." Enjoy!

    Well, thanks for hosting a great contest! Bravo! And happy writing!
