Here is the deal. I really just want you to enter what you think is your best prewrites.
You may enter up to 3 of them, and it can be on any topic except the following:
-Dirty Pretty.
-Emo/Suicide.
-Extreme Erotica (sensual is alright).
-Anything cliche. Don't say things like, "I'm dying without you." Or, "I love you so
much I'm dying." I've gotten tired of reading that stuff.
I also don't want it to be extremely long. Anything that bores me will be removed.
I prefer rhyming poems, because they keep me interested- but they don't have to be.
A well put together free verse poem is also very nice.
Typical AP rules apply:
-No Sticky Caps.
-Spell check. I HATE bad spelling and incorrect grammar.
-Don't put unnecessary things in your poems, like extra colons, semi-colons, commas, etc.
Example: "And the sun only sets;; when her tears f.a..l.l;;"
I absolutely hate that. It just makes the poem very silly and it's distracting.
-Put your name in your Authors Notes.
If you fail to follow any of the rules, I will remove you. I may or may not remind you, depending on how tired I am of people not listening.
I may be adding more trophies/points as I comment poems and gain more points.
Otherwise, have fun, and I will comment as many poems as I can...it's obvious that I may not be able to with over 100 entries.
Note: Being a preliminary finalist may not mean anything at all. With so many entries, I have to weed out the possible winners somehow.
Also, DO NOT come crying to me when I remove you from my contest. You sound childish trying to insult me for something that you did wrong. Especially when you're a grown adult. You sound like a teenager. I'm the teen, and I'm acting more mature than you. Kay thanks.

It says we are allowed 3 entries, but later attempted entries replace the original . . . ???

Try now. I forgot to edit the number of entries. I just edited it.

do you object to darker pieces that do not involve emo or suicidal topics?
-
-
Of course not. I'm just sick of the norm, that's all- I don't object to darkness as long as it's creative.

Yes, a superb finalist list! ~^

well, I'm entering something, and hoping you don't delete it.... I'm not sure what "dirty pretty" is, and I don't really know what "emo" is either. I know, kinda sad because i hear the word "emo" all the time. Hopefully my poem isn't one of those, if it is then sorry
