So just as the title says, give me the BEST thing you have ever written!
Simple as that, however, there are boundaries...
THE RULES/STUFF YOU SHOULD KNOW:
1. Shoot for something between 15 and 60 lines. This is not a solid rule, so if it's a bit more or less, that's okay.
2. Keep it in poem form... no short stories.
2 and a half. No song lyrics.
3. NoNe Of ThIs
4. One entry per poet.
5. I am a harsh judge, and I WILL give you my brutally honest opinion.
6. I will comment on all of your entries.
7. Choose a background that makes your poem READABLE.
SUGGESTIONS:
1. BE CREATIVE!!! Give me something I've never read before!
2. I like rhyme better than freeverse, but don't force it.
3. Make sure it flows well.
4. Spelling and Grammar are your two best friends!
5. Metaphors and Imagery are your other two best friends!
BUT BEFORE YOU ENTER----
THERE'S A CATCH:
I have the right to DQ any entry I don't like.
(Please do not send me hate mail if I DQ your poem.)
OKAY
THAT'S IT
ENTER IF YOU DARE!
