I want:
penman
Judges:
Me (obviously)
to write about: anything your heart desires. I consider you poets to be among the best on AP. You may write in any form, may write for any length, and will have up to 13 days to write or not write. All I ask is, if you can't write, just let me know. I'll understand. We all have lives. (well...SOME of us anyways) 
If anyone of you wants to help me co-judge instead of write that is fine too. With this much talent up there, it may be quite difficult to properly decide which poem is better. Still, I hope you all enter. 
Best of Luck!
P.S. If you know you are amazing, and are already on my favorites list, I may just well have missed you. (Damned name changes...) So leave me a comment and I will probably let you in.
P.S.S. If you are one of those types that actually NEEDS (or prefers) to have a prompt, let me know. I will (and my co-judges) will find one. Picture or otherwise.
P.S.S.S. The credit to this delightful background goes to my dear wife Chandni. *sends her kisses*
Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on September 11, 2008
- Rewards: Gold: 1000, Silver: 500, Bronze: 250, Honorable mention: 2 people
- Final notes: This was absolutely the most difficult contest I have ever had to judge. That was the point, in a way. There are so many poems here worthy of Gold it isn't even funny. I thank you ALL for entering and hope to do this again (in smaller lists) some time in the future. Truly magnificent works from you all!

You are also an ASS.

I am looking forward to your new masterpiece. *evil grin* it looks like I am making you write something after all...
-
-

-
-
-
-
-
Yay, I feel so honoured!
-
-
-
I'm honored
-
-
*smiles* It's true. You are gosh darned amazing! Just ask Jessica. She'll tell you...
-
-
aw
-
LMAO why am I mentioned?
Joan is indeed talented.
-
-
-
What a list you have up there Marty, am honored to be amongst them!
I know it would be one hell of a competition indeed! I will see what I can do - best of luck to all!
-
-
*Grins* Yeah. I decided I wanted to a contest where every poem was worthy of Gold. How much more fun will that make it? *licks lips in anticipation*
-
-
If every poem will be worth gold, can you swing a gold for every entry! LMAO!
-
-
-
Are these ALL the favorites you have?
-
-
NOT by a long shot. I have over 100 favorites. Many of them are just close friends. Others are poets I like, but haven't read enough of or interacted enough with to invite. The people selected are people I consider exceptionally talented. The fact that I like all of them is inconsequential.
-
-
Hahaha I have like...30 something favorites.
I feel special.
-
-
Wow. How long have you been on this site? Or am I just a favorite whore...O.O
-
-
LoL I'm picky about poetry..
-
-
Now I feel special...*beams*
-
-
It's like...a virus of special feelings?
-
-
yes...a VIRUS...*takes the red pill* But now I am free...
-

Oooooooooooo Thank you for the honour! I am humbled amongst so many fine names. I hope it doesn't starve my muse:
-
-
Should that day happen a whole country may go hungry. I look forward to your entry!
-
-
You have some fine "names" up there!
-
-
I agree. All of these poets have somehow effected me (and/or my co-judge) in my short time on AP. Of course, I am always on the look out for more. *smiles*
-
-
wow. now I must certainly write something for this, hopefully something as brilliant as I would like to write.
my goal: not to get another of your "this isn't your best" comments for the piece in this contest. haha ♥
(I'll see what I can do for you)
-
I am sooooooo blushing that you, my AP son rank me among the best! Truly humbled, as I am so critical of my writing, if I don't enter, which I probably will, just as summer is before the fall (no pun intended) LOL, I would be honored to help you judge. I am really good at that! My poetry... ??????
Love you, Marty! XOXO -
Woah.
