Seven Years on Allpoetry

On October 28th I celebrate seven years on allpoetry

since Kevin invited me to join the site.

It's been very inspiring and rewarding to be a part of

such a wonderful site and sharing poetry and friendships.

 

 

To help me celebrate I'd like for you to share

some of your poetry in this contest. 

 

 

You can enter whatever type of poetry you wish...

there's just a couple of rules:

 

 

No weird typing, type normal

 

 

No hardcore erotica, bashing of anyone, or profanity

(a word or two is okay if pertinent to the poem)

If I feel your entry violates this rule I will remove it from the contest.

 

 

If submitting an adult poem, please catagorize as such

 

 

You may submit a pre-write but it cannot have already won

a trophy in a previous contest.

 

 

Your entry cannot be entered in another current contest

while it is entered in this one

 

 

... okay, so that's more than a couple of rules, sorry about that

 

 

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

 

 

What you write about is up to you, whatever inspires your muse.

 

 

Please check back from time to time in case there's any revisions/modifications
