This contest is very straight forward.
I want to read about pure, unadulterated love.
This is not a contest for dirty pretty nor erotic content.
I desire true art.
Do not hand me a coke or a beer
when you posses a bottle of cabernet!
Attempt to express the inexpressible...

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on September 6, 2008
- Rewards: Gold: 1000, Silver: 100, Bronze: 100
- Final notes: This was a very difficult contest to judge, both because of the quality of many of the poems entered and because of the number of entries. I had about ten different poems I kept my eyes on, and when it came down to judging I had to add a bronze trophy because I just couldn't make up my mind! Great poetry everyone. Continue writing and "defamiliarizing" yourself to enjoy each day and night as fresh and new!
