I've been at a loss for words lately,
I can't write or do anything constructive with my life.
I hatehatehate it.
plus it's november [the worst month ever, in my opinion] which is making me pretty depressed.
..there's more to the story, but I'm just lazy.
so what I want you guys to do is enter something beautiful, brilliant and inspiring.
reading good poetry always makes me want to write
please don't give me shit. I'm really not in the mood.
rules. [yes there's quite a few, but I'm trying to make sure I don't get any shit entries]
---
- contemporary
- freeverse/prose
- abstract
- imagery and metaphor
- no religion, erotica, rhyme
- spelling and grammar
- punctuation would be nice unless you're super talented and you know how to write properly without it.
- monochromatic backgrounds only
- left-align only
- LOOK AT MY WRITING/MY FAVOURITES AND SEE WHAT I LIKE
seriously. that could get you into the finalists and probably a trophy of some sort
- I can DQ whatever entry I choose, no explanations needed so don't badger me about it, if I want I'll give you an explanation when I DQ.
- one entry per person and no PW [for now, I might change this later]
---
um yea I think that's about it..unless I think of stuff to add, so check back often for more rules.
points/trophies will most likely be added [if I get good entries]

all that shows up is the title and the red background
*sigh*
my computer is prolly being screwy
so i'll hopefully read it soon
-
-
Okay, here's what I"m going to do, I'm going to delete my poem and then re-enter it. There's obviously something that went wrong when I submitted it or something, so maybe that'll help.
-
Okay, haha, try now. Sorry this was such a pain.
-
-
aww i feel horrible now making you do all that extra work.
it was prolly my computer being lame
..but on the bright side it works now

I totally agree, November and December are very dreary and depressing months. The songs like "It's the most wonderful time of the year" crap to celebrate Christmas I hear on the radio are not all true.
-
-
ugh I hate holiday music, it's kind of my moms fault though.
she despises it and actually turns the radio off for the holiday season, and if you knew my mom and how crazy she is about listening to the radio while driving you'd understand her hate for holiday music.
anyways have a good holiday season anyways

Oh if only you accepted prewrites. I just wrote one like 3 minutes ago that would probably fit your contest pretty well. Oh well, no worries. Good luck!
-
-
i actually JUST extended the contest for a few days and I'm now accepting PW
so you can enter it if you'd like
-
-
Oh sweetness. I hope you like it, but if not no worries. Good luck with your contest! (PS, I'm feeling cynical today, so don't mind the gloom, lol)
