,only echos ;passing through the night
♥ Welcome poets!
(5 points to anyone who recognizes that lyric)
I'm a bit of a quirk myself, so I'm looking for uniqueness... Yes, I know it's true that individuality is dead. Whatever you're thinking--it's been done before! But, It would be brilliant to witness something I haven't already seen.
♥ RULES :
* Use your shift key properly please. It's just common courtesy.
* Cussing is for dramatic effect, use it sparingly if you must.
* No erotic, or sensual poetry. I can find that at the local drugstore.
* Language barriers are difficult, sorry, I can only read English. Not Latin, Gaelic, or Text Speech.
* Spelling and grammar are creative co-dependents. Use them, don't use them. Be clever.
* Bashing is better left for arcades and disco techs. You're human, understand.
* I always love these "make sure you read the rules" additions, so, to make sure you read the rules, please follow them? It's not too much trouble.
♥ SUGGESTIONS :
* Find the song from the lyric used above, name the poem as such, and seek refuge in the beauty.
* Use the photo above, make its honest feel bring you something full of life.
* I am a friend of punctuation before poetry. Run with it, it's new and rather unique I find; just the kind of thing to bring that creativity back.
* Go outside. Pen, paper, barefoot if the weather permits. Walk. Write.
* Write anything you want, disregard the rules, disregard yourself.

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on December 25, 2008
- Rewards: Gold: 450, Silver: 175, Bronze: 100, Honorable mention: 5 people
- Final notes: Thank you.
I am;
my heart is pounding. I'm suspiciously torn between each and every poem that you, brilliant writers, have entered. Thank you for showing me such creativity, hope, and kindness.
It was unexpectedly, but not surprisingly difficult to judge this contest, I've had to rework the point system over and over in an attempt to honour more and more great poems. It's depressing that I can't give everyone a golden trophy and a multitude of points, however, I can give every entry a gold star and thumbs up from afar.
To the trophy winners I wish you the best of luck, and I hope you all pay it forward =]. To the rest, expect a gold star in the mail, you guys deserve so much more.
♥k.

Wow, I wasn’t expecting that kind of reaction! I’m very pleased you found my piece to be so rejuvenating. I should explain that the “punctuated” title is referring to the final draft. The “unpunctuated” version is simply that, unpunctuated. Given the odd nature of the poem, I decided to relearn the rules of sentence structure and parenthetical phrasing. I do have many other works; however, they are also in the process of revision.
I should also mention that, I’m taking the time now to really restructure my writing into a new format that’s just as innovative and articulate as all my previous works. Admittedly, I’ve been working on a particular poem since 2004! Its just been over the course of the past year that I’ve managed to grow enough as a writer to make any significant progress on it. After all, patience is the most important tool of any writer.
