This is a contest for my favorites, as I believe some of them simply do not have the time to write a new piece and that is alright. I have allowed pre-writes for this reason, however if I have already commented on it, then no, you may not enter the piece. I want stuff I haven't read before. Or at least, haven't commented on before. I could be in-depth, I could wait till the end to comment, I could say very little...But I will try to at least leave something on every entry in the contest. I don't need to say don't enter shit, obviously. I mean how many of you actually would anyways? Oh and if you are on this list and you own more than one account and both are on my favorites...Please choose only one screen name to enter with, not both. I will simply choose one, of my choice, and nix the other.
And yes, before you guys ask, anything goes, as long as it's good. Hell, you can even enter a story, just as long as it rocks the brains out of my head and scrambles my eyeballs.

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on September 25, 2008
- Rewards: Gold: 300, Silver: 50, Bronze: 50, Honorable mention: 5 people
- Final notes:
I have not been around much but that doesn't mean I forgot my contests. This was certainly a hell of one to judge and from the look of the talent that chose to enter, I don't honestly need to say every entry was worth its weight in salt.
Thank you all very much.
Now go read the poetry found here, seriously.

I think fresh is best
-
-
It can be...But not everyone on here posts very much and I respect that.
I don't have to ask if you are going to enter...
-
-
Well I like being asked but in this case no lol not necessary I'll be there with bells on
-
-
-
Quite a list you have here, James and it's great to see mine there too. Bookmarked. I'm one of those that don't have a lot of time for writing but I'll see what I can come up with.
I'm sure you'll get wonderful entries.
~ Nicolette
-
-
You don't have to write new, remember...Just that I haven't commented on it yet...
But yes, if you would like to, that is very fine as well. You got to me before I sent the invite...LOL.
Take you time...It will be open for awhile, like most of my contests.
-
-
I wonder where cannonsfire will put the bells???? Maybe I will just make sure I am fully dressed for the occassion
-
-
LOL. No underwear allowed...
-
-
but, but.... who said I wear any????
-
-
I don't. Well when it's hot I don't and it's cold today so I got them pulled up to my neck. 
-
-
ohhhh nooooooooooo, that is not a good mental image! much prefer to think it is really HOT there and you have nothing on at all
-
-
LOL. Me in my nakedness... There's a church next door and god only knows what would happen if I walked by the window in my birthday suit.
-
-
you know... then.... Sinners would be grinners!!!!!!
-
-
"sinners would be grinners"...LOL.
You should put that in a poem.
Like seriously. That might be rhyme, but
that is genius.
-
-
I think I would get done for plagiarism! I am sure there is some Aussie down here that has "sinners would be grinners" copywritten :/ it really is a good old aussie saying hun
-
-
Is it really...LOL. That tells you I don't get over there very often, now doesn't it... Maybe you could put it in quotes and say "by someone I don't know".
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
Honoured to be on your list.
Bookmarked... and thank you.
Sol
-
-
You are quite welcome.
I mean you really deserve it emerald.
All of those names up there do.
-
-
Haha... With all the wonderful poets you have up there, this is a suicide contest for me
But I'll enter anyway
-
-
No no...This is all about getting your names out there, more than anything else. I want more people to come along and read you guys. I'm sure you can knock one out, up there with the best of them....I mean, after all, you are here.
-
-
Well, thanks for the invite But still, you have some of my favoritest favorites here.
-
-
I figured I might have many of yours up there.
We share the same likes it seems.
You are most certianly welcome, Diana.
-
-
-
-
yeah I'm there
-
-
Goodies.
-
*snuggles 'tween Richard & James*
-
-
I saw you just entered.
Will read post haste.
Thanks for entering darlin'.
-
-
-
Wow, I feel privileged! Thank you.
Bookmarked.
-
-
You are quite welcome.
You belong here my darlin'.
Yes indeed.
-
-
I am honored to be here...
will be back to enter later.
what talent!!!!
♥Becky♥ -
-
Glad to hear that.
I look forward
to your entry Becky.
-
-
ohhhh, geez. I want to enter a fresh write, but if I can't come up with anything before the contest ends, then I'll just have to enter a pre-write.
But I will enter.
-
-
You won't get any point deductions either way.
New or old is perfectly fine with me.
Glad to hear that.
-
-
that's one daunting list. lol. Bookmarked. I'll see what I can come up with.
-
-
Glad to hear it.
Yes, that is quite a list huh?
;
-
-
Wow I definitely don't belong on that list. There are some truly amazingly talented people on that list I can't even compare to. But I really appreciate the chance to get seen.
-
-
Well I say you do...So fuck everyone else.
I see you have entered already and you can bet
I will be commenting on it soon. I believe we
all have our little ways to write and there is
no wrong way.
-
-
i feel really speacial
I'll bookmark and Try to write something new...but who knows...things havent been so good *shrugs*
but thanks so much *hugs*
-
-
Sorry to hear things haven't been so good.
I remember us talking the other day and I'm
sure things will improve... Remember, if
you can't do something new, enter a pre-write.
There is nothing wrong with either. -
-
they havent
hmmm well message me a few ideas for prompts, and i might spew soemthing up
-
-
How about write about a rose, but make it unique.
Now that's a true challenge. You see so many people who write about roses and it comes out really cliché...I'm sure you could come up with a way to make it work. Or how about sunshine....Maybe that will help you out.
; -
-
a rose? hahaha.....shit.....well...i might
idk.....
-
-
-
-
-
Excellent.
-
-
-
BOOKMARKED.
Shall return later today, and see what comes from my fingertips. -
-
Glad to here that.
-
-
aww! thank you so much for inviting me! i actually have some things that are handwritten that i might put up. and i'll surely try to enter one if i do that! i must remember to get on AP and do this
[forgive the crazy writing, way too early!] -
-
Well I am glad to see that you have some things in mind.
Most certainly. Choose whatever you want...New or old makes no difference to me...Just as long as I haven't commented on it yet. You are forgiven for the crazy writing...Though it seems pretty normal to me.
;
-
-
You know what I think of this...your marvelous poet you!
Count this girl in!
-
-
I knew there was no doubt.
-
C'n I
rub up against you for an idea? Hell, it worked that other time.
-
-
LOL. Why sure you can...Though I'm sure you
can dish one out that turns the cats head around
and makes it spit mice bits all over the room.
-
-
-
Judging by the list of favs you've compiled you are in for a poetic smorg of brilliance . . . ENJOY BRO, ENJOY!!!!!!!!
-
-
That was my hopes. Of course, you already being here I see makes it even more brilliant. I will certainly comment on your entry shortly.
;
-
-
this is scary.
like a really strange cult ritual.
*signs name in blood*
I will join the...realm of...the-really-insanely-long-list-of-really-good-writers.
-
-
Yes it is a long insane list of gret writers,
which was the point. Now that is in blood, you get
to enter the cult... Which I see up there
you already did.
;
-
-
Yup yup. i'm in.
probably gonna write a freshie.
thanks for the invite.
-
-
Glad to hear it babes.
Either way, enter freely.
-
-
ooooooooooooooooooooooooookay

http://allpoetry.com/poem/2228793
here's the one I would have entered, read or do not in your leisure. I don't think I can deal with contests or much of this site anymore.
That remains to be seen. It's a lovely contest, with some great names and I appreciate the inclusion.
thank you
-
-
You silly...You're like me around contests...We both have to really feel like we should enter something for us to do so. If you could add something, that would be great, not just here for me to read, but I also understand if you don't. We think alike most of the time. Thanks for the consideration though. I will check that poem out shortly.
; -
-
Silly is my middle name, alongside stubborn and a few other s ones and you're right in that respect you and I are similar. For you, I'll enter it.
-
-
Me too...I can be very stubborn and also moody, if the time is fitting. You entered! I am so very happy you decided to... I am beaming.
-
-
you're welcome
-
-
-
-
-
thank you baby for the invite.
i'm going to write a new peice for this since you read all of my stuff.
this will be a great contest, i'm going to read along
i love you very much! 
-
-
LOL. Well obviously you great sexy thing you...
It's not like I haven't read everything you've written, although I haven't commented on each one yet. But that
will take more than a little while. Yes, read all the entries babes and do enter, obviously.
I love you very much too!
;
-
-
b000000kmarked
-
-
Yippy.
-
-
LoL...I'm flattered to be on your Favorites list--so many freaking talented people there...
Grr, I will bookmark & try not to disappoint. -
-
Yes there are, including you.
I'm sure you could not disappoint, even
if you tried...LOL.
Glad to hear that Jessica.
; -
-
Then I'll have to try harder to write shit!!
-
-
LOL.
I would say it smelled like roses.
-
-
You're diabolical!!
-
-
I truly, absolutely are...
-
-
-
-
-
-
Hello dear you.
I've been meaning to write something new, so thanks for the push.
I'll almost most certainly probably be entering.
-
-
There is your push...Yes indeed.
Well glad to hear it.
;
-
-
Now,
I want to read the third of those, I've not. The ones I'm familiar with scare me bad enough. It's a rush just bein' on the list. I'm gonna hold out for a new idea that gets my mind hard.
-
-
Yes, read them...Everyone on here is great in their own individual ways. Glad to hear that bro. New or old makes no difference though...I will read whatever you throw at me and probably love it just the same.
-
-
You are a precious soul James.
-
-
And so are you my love.
So are you.
-
-
I have zilch idea of what to enter here. LOL
-
-
Then enter a pre-write... Just as long as
I haven't commented on it yet, I don't mind.
I'm sure you can think of something,
knowing you.
-
-
mm, I don't think I have any good pre-writes that you haven't read.
hmm... -
-
LOL. I'm sure there is some... But yes, I might have read something, but if there is no comment, then no, I haven't actually read it yet...
-
-
..................hmmm.
-
-
-
-
I liked that poem of yours you wrote for Jacks' quickie with the music prompt. *does not remember title*
You only got an HM, but that poem was kick-ass & I think Jacks was drunk when she judged it? -
-
My brain is all foggy...As I'm not sure which one you are talking about...LOL. But yes, how dare they just give me a mention... I actually don't enter many contests, but every now and then, I just feel like entering.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
This looks like alot of fun and I already have an idea just give me a few days to write it...
Huggs ~Stacey~
-
-
It will be open for awhile, so take your time.
Remember...It doesn't have to be a new write,
but that's fine as well...Just as long as I haven't
commented on it yet.
-
-
i must do this
-
-
Yes.
-
-
Wow, what an amazing list of poets you have here. You're going to go insane trying to judge this!
-
-
Insane is my middle name.
I hope you read the stuff that is found here...It should be fun.
-
-
I'm looking forward to it.
Good luck
-
-
I hope so.
-
-
-
-
I am humbled, this is amazing company
♥
whisper
-
-
Glad you could put something in here.
-
-
I entered a new one... but I would LOVE your feedback on this one: http://allpoetry.com/poem/4417667
if you had the time
-
-
I shall check it out when I can.
For sure.
Thanks for leaving
the link.
-
-
i appreciate the invite
-
-
And I am glad you could enter.
Very much so.
-
-
i think fresh is best, too
-
-
Yes, it can be...But I noticed that some on my favorites whom I enjoy greatly just don't have much posted...I think they are like me and they only post when it feels right...So, that's why. But usually I wouldn't allow pre-writes. Mr. atlantic. God I love your new name...
-
-
hellloo.
i entered a prewrite, because somebody said it was my best one.
you can only enter once right?
i'm sorry i didn't write a new one
-
-
Yes, pre-writes are perfectly fine.
I wanted the best writes from people they
could muster...So if that is suppose to be
your best, then there is no better place
than here. Glad you could make it.
-
-
That's a humoungous list of favourites ...
scary -
-
Yes it is.
But they all are so very talented in
their own individual ways and deserve
a place to shine for who they are.
; -
-
Oh,
I just skimmed that list
But whoever I caught was definitely deserving.
Anyway, mucho luck with your contest!
-
-
Hey thank you!
I hope you read along with me,
as there will most likely be a lot
of very talented individuals
found here or making an appearance.
-
-
That's a scary thing to do, lol, even if I had the time
-
-
LOL. If you did have the time of course.
-
-
-
-
-
-
how do i enter?? it won't seem to let me!!
-
-
Someone else had a problem with that...It shows that I have both pre-written and now poem categories opened? I would ask a moderator if it continues to not let you.
-
-
it's still not letting me ... i think it may have to do with how well my computer can keep up with some things on the site or whatever. but i'll ask. i don't wanna miss the deadline!!
-
yay! i did it!!
-
-
I'm so glad! I just waited and crossed my fingers. Very good...Now I don't have to wonder why it won't let you anymore. Did you happen to find out what the problem was? In case it happens to someone else.
-
-
The title of this rocks!!
-
-
I came up with it suddenly and
it just works... Thanky!
-
-
WOAH! WHAT A LIST!
-
-
It truly is.
Read along...Like seriously.
-
-
I am glad I logged in to allpoetry in time to catch this contest. I am very honored that you asked me to be in it. I haven't written for ages, but still stop by to read others' work from time to time. I chose to submit a favorite of mine. I have tried it in other contests and no one seems to see it with my eyes After reading a few of the entries in this contest, I am quite aware of the slim chance of places, but I hope it brings some kind of smile to your face.
Thanks again,
RDM -
-
You just still being here brings a smile to my face. I mean after all, you were one of the few people to see me when I was jaunty pill and also, in my newness to the site...So I consider it a wonderful thing that you are still around, in general. I'm sure I can "see" it...Maybe not always in the exact way a writer intended, but I shall try my best to leave you something worthwhile on your poem wall. It really is nice to see you here and about.
You're quite welcome.
-
-
lol you are the worst at extending and extending and extending your contest endings
-
-
LOL...Yes I really am...But I consider that a good way to run a very deep and serious contest. It will end soon, I promise...
-
-
hey, thanks for the silver! you're too kind
-
-
I should be thanking you for giving me something excellent to read, so really, thank you.
-
-
Thank you!
So very much....
I'm more than honored by this.. considering the talent entered here.. and more than a little surprised...
Wonderful ... stuff here.. and thank you again James. ..
-
-
When I got your entry, I just knew...
I work like that. Your entry brought me to attention
and I knew where the gold standard was.
But yes...It was one hell of a big contest to
take on.
So thank you again and for well always
being my friend and special poet neighbor.
-
-
thank you and congrats to the winners!
