I'm sick of emo bullshit. I just want you to PUT YOUR GUTS IN IT.
I want to read something other than trash. Something, gutsy, & uplifting- if it's dark make it satirical or experimental. If it's sad, make it gushy and full of emotion.
I want empowerment, I want your TRUE FEELINGS. How do you feel about George Bush, The War In Iraq, make it rebellious! Make it revolutionary! Pour your every fiber into writing something that works. For YOU, not just for me to enjoy...and I know that you people can do it.
Oh and the limit has been one entry per person. I couldn't fix it, it was originally 6 but now it's stuck at one. So enter your best! And I truly appreciate all the entries.
I want to read something new for a change. I am sick of the same poetry, it's getting pretty lamo.
write songs, jumble words- call it anything! Call it fun! Just have fun! Good luck!

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on December 6, 2008
- Rewards: Gold: 500, Silver: 20, Bronze: 20, Honorable mention: 6 people
- Final notes: I appreciate all the entries so much, and thank you all. I am closing this a little early because I have so many entries, and it's tough to judge. I think all the poems were amazing. The winner though, was in my opinion worth the trophy. We need to see more poems like this. Everyone is a fnalist!!! And I really enjoyed every one of your entries, the decision was tough, so don't feel your entry was bad if u didn't win.
Peace,
SweetJane

umm its not letting me put in more entries!!
-
-
It should, I changed it for six entires.
-
-
nuh uh it keeps replacing my earlier entries
-
-
hmm, I hope it gets fixed eventually. I will try to look back and see if I missed something. Other than that, just if you can submit your best for now.
-
-
-
-
-
-
Good for you. Let's hear it for originality.
-
-
Yeah, I feel this is the right way to be.
-
-
it's replacing my first entry.....
-
-
Okie dokie I hope you enter your best, I think the limit must be set to one.
I'll try to change that though.
-
-
i was in the mood to read original poetry, boy was I pleasantly surprised! thanks all for your entries and by all means keep em' coming! I enjoy reading them.
Peace
-
Ok, I may have to get back to these poems later- tomorrow hopefully. I need to be really in the receptive mood to read them. Thanks for he entries, wasn't expecting so many!!
Peace,
SweetJane -
Oh, and I promise to read all your poems thouroghly. This is going ot be a tough one to judge.
-
I'm having the same problem...it's only allowing one entry per person.
-
-
Yeah I dont know how to fix this, myst be a bug...guess we'll have to limit them to one entry per person.
-
I changed it to one, so there'd be no confusion. It might be easier this way anways, so maaany entries. LOL.
-
-
Yeah, otherwise you'll end up really snowed under.
-
-
-
Gosh this is gonna be a hard contest to judge. Each poem in its own originality spoke to me in a completely different way, good luck everyone>
-
-

-
-
