Greetings all!!
Ok, so here it is, the Peer Pressure Contest inspired by Midnight-x-Rose' contest which I won some time ago.
The idea is that you enter upto 5 of your favourite poems, the poems that you are most proud of, into the competition.
As the entries start rushing in, please take the time to read the other entries and comment if you would like.
It is not a rule to have to comment on all entries but would be a kind gesture and the favour will hopefully be returned.
Rules:
1) Please do not bash any poems within your comments. All poetry has its merits.
2) Bookmark the contest so you can track entries and be aware of when it closes.
3) When the contest closes please message me your votes within 24 hours.
Your message should contain your 4 trophy winners in order
eg
Gold: Lost Love by LonelyLover
Silver: Wisdom by Jimbo
Bronze: Death Awaits by DarkAngel66
Honourable Mention: Dancing In The Darkness by AngelWrath
This is just a made-up example!
I will collate the votes and award the trophies after all votes have been counted.
Points may go up depending on the amount of entries.
So what are you waiting for??? Enter your best poetry, comment on your peers poetry and decide the winner of AllPoetry's Peer Pressure Contest!!
Good luck to you all!!
Zenda-Lokki

The points will go up further with entries!!
Donations of points for trophy winners would be gratefully recieved.
Donations Received::

- Final notes: WOW!!!
104 entries, that makes this Peer Pressure contest my biggest yet! lol! Woohooo!!
I apologise for the late announcing of the trophy winners. I have been in hospital over most of the christmas and new year season.
It was great to see so many of you reading eachothers poetry and taking the time to choose your own winners! I find it is so much better to win awards given by all of your peers rather than just the host, so thanks so much for your votes.
Winners :-
Gold - Green Eyes by Kathraina
A fantastic write which showed in the amount of votes. Congrats.
Silver - A Letter To Dad by Meroza
Again alot of votes and great feedback from all. Great job, congrats.
Bronze - Slighted Soul by Midnight-x-Rose
One of my favourite entries and evidentally yours too. Congrats.
HM - Dare by Draig aine
Another well deserved trophy winner, well done.
Thanks all for taking part in this Peer Pressure contest and for taking the time to submit your votes. I will hopefully be running a similar contest again soon.
Thanks

Hey xx
Thanks so much for allowing me to steal your idea lol xx Was such a great contest that I just had to hold one myself xx

No problem
-

Your idea.
Hm, that's novel. Might make a change from the too many contests where it seems a mutual love-in is the order of the day. Sometimes the smell of the clique is overwhelming. And the influence of it on the contest-setter. Can't prove it, of course.
Then again, maybe your idea will end up just an alternative version of the same. Best of luck.

I hope that this contest will move away from the same old people that win contests. Too much favouritism. I hope you will enter.

I'd love to enter, but I've tried voting contests before and can never keep track of the votes. Old-timer's syndrome I guess. Thank you for inviting me though.
