2009? I laughed aloud at this
I'll see if I can pull something outta my arse that remotely resembles poetry.
-
-
well don't enter your arse. that'd be totally expected lol
-
-
darn, you read my mind
-
-
cuz ya know, I like stuff that doesn't stink but was that my arse there? or your's?
-
-
I dunno, but maybe I'll sit on my entry before clicking submit... so i will be entering my arse, literally
-
-

-
-

-
-
I'll try really, really hard!
-
-

-
-
I forgot it was a year's worth...so yeh, people naturally have to search for their best piece...duh christina...I am so bad
-
-
oh, man! all i know is that i had the perfect one to enter, but it's 21 lines... gah! 15 is short, even for me, and i usuall don't write anything over 25; if i do, it's because the form or contest requested it
-
-
ok, well I think if it's a year's worth, then I changed the length. no 50-line poems. so you can enter said perfect piece, but it'll come at a price lol
-
-
yay! i think you'll like; it's not depressing or about wanting to kill things for a change
-
-
but that's my arse's favourite topic!
j.k. -
-
lol then our arses must be twins because it's mine's favourite too
-
-

I don't know how to...
edit my author notes. i read ur guidelines, I'm supposed to put Amaranthine Lover in my author notes, but I don't know how to edit them in a prewrite. i did the 'you promised' one, and I hope you read this and know that I'm sorry I couldn't follow ur rules exactly..... sorry.... -
-

-
-
Nice! I will come back and enter once I look over my past year's poetry.
-
Follow the rules:
I will comment once. If it is not fixed by the same time the next day, you will find yourself DQ'ed. This goes for any of my guidelines. I am serious, folks. I am sick and tired of people not following my simple rules. -
I humbly thank you for seeing my entry silver worthy between all those poems in here...
-
Thanks for a great contest and the HM..Congrats to all!
