Alright.
I have 5385 points I'm looking to unload before I say goodbye. You want them?
There will be 1 winner and only 1 winner.
I'm looking for a worthy poem though. It needs to move me, it needs to be eloquent, it needs to make me think, it needs to touch my heart, it needs to RHYME (no free verse) and it needs to be a fantastic write.
Rules:
one entry per person (so make it your best)
No prewrites
No free verse
No erotica
No cutting, violence, suicide, anything else along these lines.
No sticky caps
No text language
It must be a rhyming poem
I want you to work for these points:
So - poem must be at least 30 lines, but less than 100
What I like:
Love, romance, lost love, nature, religious, etc...
Spelling, punctuation, etc. will count.
My judgement is final.

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on October 28, 2008
- Rewards: Gold: 5385
- Final notes: WOW. What a contest. Every poet entered definitely put their heart and soul in each entry. I can't thank you all enough for taking your valuable time and putting forth so much effort to make this contest so personally rewarding for me. It was definitely very, very difficult to pick only 1 winner. But, I think you all will agree with me that the winning poem is certainly a worthy winner. I would encourage you all to take some time now and then to review some of the other poems in the contest, if you haven't already. You will definitely find some enjoyable reading within. Thanks again to all of you.
God Bless

This is really generous of you to offer in a contest, but you should reconsider leaving all poetry! Or take a break. It helps

I would love to enter..but I believe my imagination has gone on vacation, or my ability to rhyme. So I'll bookmark this
