Hey!!
So, i finally have the time to host another contest!
Depending on how this one works and how I find it for time I might make it a round contest if the contestants are up for that.
OKAY ON WITH IT!
<3
Okay now for options!!
1. Write about a negative experience that made you stronger
2. Write about an addiction. Positive or negative views are welcome.
3. Write about how music makes you feel.
4. write about unrequited love, or unshared love.
5. write about forever.
6. write about passion
7, write something that makes me feeeeeeel!
Okay, so I am an adult so you don't have to pg your poetry but marking it is appreciated since there are pg only eyes wandering around the site.
I am not a fan of rules but they are necessary.
1. no dirty pretty, I don't tend to like it and others tend to not like it when I make fun of it
2. profanity, while a great tool for emphasis, is not necessary as every second word.
3. No cliches, no bullshit that i have heard 10 million times, drives me insane.
4. write which option you choose in the notes.
Okay i might think of more.
Follow the rules or i will DQ.
Also I will comment on every poem entered, I might take a day or two to do it but I will.
Oh and about prewrites, i will allow them for now but I might change that later... depending on how it goes.
Right and more points to be added as I get them!!
Silver and bronze for sure.

- Final notes: Thank you all so much for the entries and your patience. I obviously won't be making it a round contest because I am still stressed to the max.
