I want to read poems about break-ups. I want to feel all the emotions that can come with break-ups. Pain, sorrow, heart-ache. Heart break. Anger, loneliness.
Be creative. Use imagery. Make me feel whatever it is that you are trying to get across.
Don't just tell me that so and so is a rotten guy because he left me. I want to know how it felt to have the love of your life leave you because....
You can use pictures and backgrounds. I think that they if chosen correctly can only add to your wonderful words. A warning though just make sure that I can read your wonderful words. If I can't read it how can I comment and judge them.
Rules are simple:
No sticky caps
No bashing other writers.
No cutting or suicide poems please not my favorite reads.
Left align unless you tell me why you didn't.
If you use a form please explain it.
The most important rule though is this HAVE A LOT OF FUN
oh and you can enter more than once. No pre-writes though for this one.
Edited: Pre-writes were asked to be allowed. So I am allowing them. Thanks for asking and giving an excellent reason for allowing them. You talked me into it. The only thing is the poem must be about break-ups only. No other topics will be allowed.

Thank you very much for the gold and the two HM's. We open up veins when we write, especially love poems, so it's a great feeling when we know somebody "got it." Life is empty without communion with other like-hearted people. Thanks again.
Mark
