"celebrate, celebrate, dance to the music!" round 1 of 4

I am celebrating 50 trophies!

for this I am making a four-part contest. part one will accept 50 poets/poems. Part two will be held for the top twenty five. part three top twelve and part four top five.

this contest the winnings will be small but they will go up.

for this part I will accept both new and prewrites, any topic, up to 15 lines long. Please put your ap name in the authors box.

round two will have more specific requirements, part three even more until found four, which has the most specific requirements of all )each round becomes more difficult).

I will continue this round until 50 poets have taken a spot. If it goes on to long I will stop at forty if need be.

you may only enter once.

donate points and the winnings will go up.

the topics for future rounds are secrete but will be kept appropriate for all ages
(if your poem is adult contest label it so!)




thanks bohemian brethren
& good luck
cassie

If your a poet meant to move on and you can not/will not/choose not to write a poem for the next round tell me so in the next few days. NOTE: DOING SO WILL DISQUALIFY YOU FROM ALL THE FALLOWING ROUNDS! Congratulations to all the winners and a super thanks to all who donated.
