I haven’t ran a contest in a while and I'm looking for some new favorites to read.
I’m a fan of the abstract, the metaphorical, and the pensive.
Also, I like strong imagery.
I don’t mind the subject matter as long as it’s not erotica.

Free verse.
Name in author's notes.
No exceptions.
These guys are perfect examples of what I like best:
She Stole My Voice - http://allpoetry.com/She%20Stole%20My%20Voice
Plastic Dreams - http://allpoetry.com/Plastic%20Dreams
Aanika - http://allpoetry.com/aanika
Zillion - http://allpoetry.com/zillion
Give me something profound; something that I can feel and that makes me think.
Short, long, whatever. Just make it good.
EDIT: I'm opening to prewrites for the final days of this contest.
