I've been on this site for 2 1/2 years now and I have learnt alot about my writing ability. I have always loved writing poetry, but I never thought I could do it well, really give it my all and that others would read it and enjoy it. But, I look at my writing now and then look back to my first poem on this site and see how much I've improved.
What I want you to do is enter 3 poems. The first poem is to be the first poem you entered on this site. The second, a poem that you wrote around the middle of your time here. So for example, if you entered 250 poems on this site, please enter your 125th poem and then finally, your most recently poem OR a new poem, about whatever you like.
As this is based on the number of entries you have entered and your first entry, I have no specific rules except please label entries correctly and use legible backgrounds. Otherwise, just stick to the instructions above.
View them yourself and see how much you have improved. I love to compare my older stuff to my newer stuff. I hope you enjoy this and really look deep at your ability.
Points will probably go up, you can donate if you want. I expect the number of trophies will likely increase. I will only award you one place. As in, the same person can't win Gold, Silver and Bronze.
Good luck everyone. Have fun
♥
Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on January 4
- Rewards: Gold: 500, Silver: 250, Bronze: 100, Honorable mention: 1 people
- Final notes: Well done to everyone & especially the winners.
I started commenting on every entry and I thought - I am measuring on progress and therefore don't need to cmment every entry, just the most recent entry and state which ways you've improved/what you have achieved.
This is why you most likely don't have a comment on all 3 pieces and only one. I read them all though. If you are lucky enough to have 2/3 comments on all, you were one of the first commented - it was mere fluke!
Anyway. I really am greatful you all entered and hope you all continue to improve with your writing.
Loves,
Stef

order of poems I entered
1st is Lost
2nd is Ride the Sunset
&
3rd is Death by Beauty -
I have a question, where you said that we should label our entries correctly, do you mean that in our A/N we need to say that the poem is the first, middle, or last?
-
-
No, what I mean by 'label correctly' is that adult content be labeled adult, erotic erotic etc. Just so nobody has to read something inappropriate if they wish not to
-
-
My three pieces entered:
Hell - First Poem
Can Scars Give Birth To Stars? - Middle Poem
The Fruition Of Redemption - Most Recent Poem
-
Order of poems I entered-
First piece of crap... *cough cough* Er, poem:
