Rules: (yes there are some)
Because I am opening this up to unlimited entries there is a very specific line count that cannot be gone over. 30 lines or less, 30 lines is your maximum that you poem can be anything more and you will be DQ'ed sorry Even if you see a poem entered into the contest that is more than 30 lines it does not mean that I have changed my mind, it only means I am giving them time to shorten it. All poems that exceed the line limit will be given an opportunity to shorten them.
NO Chat speak, I cannot stress this enough, no chat speak, I feel it ruins a poem
No sticky caps (can't stand those and really why?)
This contest is open to all ages, so please, keep it nice, no adult content or erotica content. No swearing. I will be checking and this is a deal breaker
Most important have FUN!!!!!!!

Well

Nice contest. I'm glad that I can enter more than once. But I have a question. How did you send out that message about less than thirty lines? I'd like to know.

Wow, this seems like a fun contest! So I'm assuming that you're more interested in fun, funny, pieces? (or something a bit serious?)
(p.s. cool pictures and BGs!)
~Faithful-Star -
-
Fun is good
But anything like ghost stories, hauntings, favorite halloween, Something of the nature of Poe, or anything as long as its Halloween or spooky, or scary.
-
-
Okay, thanks! I think that I have an idea. I'm gonna try and see if I can come up with anything. Best of luck with the contest!
-
-
-
This is a very nice contest but I don't see how I could enter as it says it is closed for judging *shrugs* I have trouble keeping under a certain amount of lines anyway. I write where it takes me. Good luck with this
-
-
I am sorry about that
it is open now. It does not close until the 31st. Don't know why it closed when I had reset it .
-
-
Excellent contest to get everyone in the spirit
-
Sadly all my Holloween pieces are well beyond thirty lines hope you get some great entries
-
-
You
can always enter a new poem lol Its a shame Halloween seems to imply really long poems lmao
-
-
Just asking
Are you counting written lines or spaces included 28 written lines written shows 38 lines is that too long? -
-
Only
counting written lines of text. I do not count spaces.
-
-
