round one; enter your best.

YoureNoGoodForMe inspired me. [Is that okay, if I'm a copycat for one day?] So I want to start a rounds contest, because I love reading poems good poetry and giving constructive reviews.

Give me the best prewrite you have, whether it's poetry or prose. Rhyming really, really gets on my nerves, so unless you have an amazingly fantastic rhyming poem, enter free-verse poetry or prose. Thanks.


Anyway, I will give you a percent rating between 0% and 100%, like you're in school or something. ^^ If your grade is 80% or above, you're in. If it's below 80%, I'm probably going to remove your poem from the contest, so don't be offended, okay?

Also, I don't want any:
~ erotica
~ excessive cursing
~ extreme morbidity/darkness

I really love:
~ story poems/prose
~ vivid imagery
~ long rants
~ statements from the depths of your heart


I'm looking forward to your entries.
