Been in the mood to read some good poems lately since I'm not writing any myself. There is no topic. Here's the low down:
I reserve the right to critically review each poem entered.
I also reserve the right to Not critically review each poem entered.
I reserve the right to pull any poem at any time with no reason or warning.
I reserve the right to pull poems during the contest that will not win in order for me to judge the contest easily.
The following are not hints to help you win, only a heads up about personal preference.
I DO NOT GENERALLY CARE FOR RHYME. There are exceptions, but not often.
I like grammar A Lot.
I like pre-writes because it gives me hope that the poem has been edited at least once.
I'm holding this contest because I genuinely want to read good poetry. .
I am completely open minded about all subjects.
*********************************************************************************************************
This is going to take me a few days to read through. There are more poems than I expected and I'd like to comment on as many as I can. Thanks for your patience.
