Okay, the main goal is simple. Seduce me. I don't want sexual, but sensual is okay. It's my mind and heart I want you to conquer, not my body. I want to feel like I can give myself to you one hundred percent and never regret the decision. There is only one trophy here, and it's got a nice point value attached. Points WILL go up IF the quality of entries remains high. I'm not looking for an AP wife, mind you, but if I gain a confidant and honest critic out of this, so much the better. If you'd like suggestions, read my work. Also, I really enjoy seeing words used in unique ways, and love to see great word play using words I may not know or may rarely see. Rhyme if you'd like, it makes little difference to me.
Okay, for those with the request, I am adding a bit more here. If you prefer, just skip to the rules and enter. It's a paper called "Where's my Life" that I wrote a while back. I've condensed it here, hope it helps.
35, still alive.... I think.
I want a friend and companion. One I can love, trust, laugh, cry and share everything with. Someone with whom I can enjoy life. I want someone close to my size, physically fit, and who takes care of themselves. She should be intelligent, kind, and adventurous.She should challenge me and encourage me to be better than I am. She'll be able to put up with my bad days because she will know how to make them better with her smile. She will be flexible and compromising, but not to the point where she loses herself, or her needs. A movie night could easily become a star gazing night. She will be exciting, engaging, and intriguing. She'll tell me the stories of her day, of her trials and tribulation, and I will comfort her. From this I will get the pleasure of her communication and intimacy. She will be my reason for waking every morning. She won't get mad if I wake her early for a beautiful sunrise and a nice hot coffee. In fact, she may even take me back to bed. Anything we talk about will be interesting because it will come wrapped in her voice. I don't want a waiter, or a maid. I don't want to be slaved over, just appreciated. I want her to inspire me. Not just artistically, but in all ways. I may occasionally need a swift kick to get myself in gear, and her foot will know that. I want her to laugh. I know she'll laugh at me because I mean, let's face it, I probably screw up more than anyone should be allowed to get away with. She will be confident and courageous, taking everything life throws her way. She must always want to grow. She will be mine, yes, but always developing into her own person. I want her to be independent. I know that's a contradiction, because if she's independent what would she need me around for? That's easy. Because she will love me. She will know my strengths and my weaknesses, and help me in the areas I need it and understand that sometimes I may know what's best, or be the best person for the task. She'll be much better than me in some areas, and she will know she is appreciated when I come to her for help in these areas. She will understand if I want to spend a day fishing, and I will understand when she takes an evening class with her girlfriends to learn how to make pretty clay pots that she will display with pride on our coffee table, filled with daisies or the roses that were delivered to work to say I was sorry for not getting home on time when she had worked to prepare such a marvelous dinner. She will care for me when I'm sick and understand when I get all paternal over her when she is ill or injured. She will know me like no other ever has. We will lie awake often at night doing nothing but sharing secrets, dreams and wishes. We will know each others deepest fantasies and we will live them all. Wild imaginings will become realities every chance we get. We will miss each other terribly when we are apart, but never will we think ill of the other, for we will know that our hearts and bodies are one, and that nothing will change that no matter how far apart we are. But as I have said, she will mostly, first and foremost be, my single most best friend. And while neither of us will be perfect we will most certainly be perfect for each other.
Now, without further ado!
Rules:
Man I hate these things...
1. NO CUTTING, DEPRESSION, DEATH! Nothing of the sort will be tolerated. Dark, even dark love, is not welcome here.
2. Bash no other being here. I'll DQ you and curse your name. I'll also spam you with hate mail.
3. Dirty pretty must be CLEAN. In other words, don't get dirty if it's not pretty. If you need that explained, try another form.
4. Words are words. But if you use one that the dreaded censors may find to be offensive, please mark it properly.
5. Comment on the entries of others. Please. (kudos if you get through some of mine, too)
Other than that, come show me what you can do for me, and get some points in the deal.

Rule #5
Doesn't make it very anonymous does it? Think about it, you can always check all of the commenters profiles for the names of the poems in the contest! Would you consider making it optional? -
-
Everything is optional, except bashing. If you bash, you vanish. But thanks for the idea. Haven't heard from you in a while. How's things? Did I do good on the contest? I though of putting up the "What I Need in a Woman" thing, but that's not really what this is for, and I don't want all the poems to be the same. Still, I feel like I've not left much to go on.

It's okay to ask us to comment on the work of other poets but you will be snared by Mods if you disqualify anyone who doesn't. Just thought you might need to know that fact.
Much Love & Respect ♥

Don't fret, dear. The only guaranteed DQ is bashing. I prefer to just not let someone win that can't follow the rules. It's why I added the please. I hope people will do as I ask, but I can't make them do some things. I just have to ask and hope for the best. Thanks for looking out for me like that, though. I appreciate it.

WOW, That's it?
So I decided to click back on the contest to see if maybe I wanted to jump in the lake so to speak and I read everything. It occured to me that I knew all of that, but I didn't. Make sense? Ya I know not to me either. I wish you the best of luck in hosting your contest and hopefully you get some wonderful entries -
-
Of course it makes sense. If it didn't make sense, the phrase "Hindsight is always twenty-twenty" may never have been coined.

Would you consider opening this for PW?
I have chapters on this subject
I will bookmark anyways, and see if I can come up with something new.
Love,
