So my Muse has left me for the time being, and I want him back. So, I am going to ask you to use your Muse's to shock my back into work. =P
I'm not feeling too... happy lately. Got deployed to Korea when all I want is to go home and be with my girl. I had hoped to marry her this year, not any more. So thus, I'm not in the mood for happy writes. I would like dark poems or love poems. (Or combine the too)
No dirty pretty stuff, not a fan.
The biggest thing is, I know how poetry is, I've been published, I've taken classes, I believe I know good poetry when I read it. So thus, I ask you to put thought and work into your writing. Truelly care about what you are writing, then you will write great things, I garuntee it.
So just some simple rules;
No all caps
No ChAnGiNg caps stuff
Spell check
Grammar check
If you don't follow these simple, basic rules, I am afraid I will have to DQ you.
Good luck, have fun, and make my muse work once more!
EDIT: I really enjoy new writes, even pre-writes that don't already have like 2 gold trophies. And not a fan of a poem put into 20 differnet contests. I will still judge as fairly as I can, but keep that in mind. =)
EDIT Num 2: I am working on reading all of the writes here, but it will take a little bit. Thanks to everyone to writing, I can't wait to read everything!

My husband left for South Carolina shortly after we were married. So I have a list of poetry mostly missing him and loving him on my page if you want to take a look. I hope you get to come back to the states and your love's arms soon.

Mines love sick weather I wrote though I was late for work writing it I really got into it and I could really relate to how you feel. So I tried to incorporate my feelings with yours. Maybe they are completely different. I think its great your work has been published btw. So I really want to hear your criticism constructive of course! Haha ive been writing for awhile but to me they are more like journal entries of my life. They all some how are connected through my feelings and emotions.
But I really tried on a line to match yours today!. Well I'll be checking back for sure.
Hope korea isn't to bad I always wanted to go oversea was going to actually for active duty when I was going to join the army. But I was 15 pounds overweight! haha before they changed the weight requirements couple years ago. ( Sorry I wrote a huge comment I guess I'm chatty! )
