Okay, so I was on allpoetry once upon a time, but I haven't written a really good poem since then. I want this contest to inspire me to write...do it however you feel necessary...because I'm giving you that, there are no rules, but if you go too far out of line...you wont be getting any trophies or points, so be careful where you go.
For the purpose of this contest, I'm going to give you the link to my old page so you have my old poetry and stories and what not to go off of. Please, no comments or anything, as I haven't checked the page in forever. I may go back to it if this contest is successful and that would mean a lot to me, but until then, let's get some poetry going!
Donations towards this would be greatly accepted. I commented with three applause for every 50 points donated, so give to these creative minds if you feel they're worthy!
Thanks to those who donated:

- Final notes: Of all the entries
I encountered here
I know now
what is was I feared
I feared my muse
would never
stand up to my
past poems
I felt like I couldn't
keep sailing at all
But now with your help
I can write once again!
About better things
That can be and have been
Thank you dear poets
For coming to my need!
I'll keep you close by
and your needs I'll heed!
I chose the finalists I did because I believe their poetry really cut deep, but you all deserve something and to that I'll hold the rest of you all a promise to comment on 3 other poems of yours. If you don't get a comment, please drop me a line letting me know, as it's easy to miss someone. Thank you all again! You've certainly been great, helping me out of my writer's block!

Writer's block?
Hey Chazz (cool name btw)... for me, I always write stuff that rhymes (I don't do the other stuff well)... see "Pursuit of a Poetry Prize"... anyway, what's cool about rhyming, is come up with a cool 1st line, then let the rhyme dictate the story. Try it, it's fun. Some of my best stuff, I wrote that way... no idea where the story was going. - Kevin (good luck) -
Good luck finding your muse. If you happen across mine in your search, please send it back
