..how old do the poems have to be?
cause my first like 50 poems or so until around june/july were complete crap..and even a few months ago i sucked.. i still do aha.
so ya, basically im wondering how not-old my old PW's can be?
..does that even make sense :S -
-
Maybe at least a year old i just dont want people entering poems that they only wrote like 4 monthes ago and i dont think any of your poems suck enter them and ill check them out.
-
-
mine were all wrote in august, but that is when i joined AP, so is that alright?
-
-
yes that is fine
-
-
-
-
I'll see if I can find something to enter. I've only been writing less than two years and I'm not too fond of my oldest poems.
-
-
I still would love if you can enter them I just dont want poems that were only written a couple monthes ago.
-
-
I'm rereading some of my old poems and my style of writing was sooo different. I'll find some to enter but don't be too harsh if you think they're horrible
lol
-
-
-
When I put in the onlynew one that i have I did not notice that It was compleatly under 20 lines. I am not sure how to get it out of the contest.
I have one that is the newest out of the old ones, but it is 19 lines -
-
i put that rule there by accident i will remove it
-
-
i haven't been on AP for years. Just about a year or so.. so you won't find any from me older than say April or May of last year. Sorry but can't get any older.
-
-
I just want some of the first poems you put on AP.
-
-
ugh...I can't remember how long ago i wrote some of these. some of them should at least be a year...but i'm not sure. just delete them if they don't fit what you are looking for.
-
For some reason I can't enter any of my poems. I don't understand what's going on. I will be back on tomorrow and try again. Michele
-
wow. i was looking for a contest to try and win my 20th trophy. then, i found your 20th contest. weird this looks like fun.
-
I only joined in may of 2008. I submitted three poems. Not sure they are what your looking for but they are from my heart.
-
Hi I wrote this probably 5 years ago. Hope you like
-
I clicked on to the feature but the contest was already closed! Sorry you've wasted your points - I delete my poems when they've been on for a month or so anyway, so you wouldn't have liked my entry, if I had been in time to make one. blah.
-
-
i reopened this contest it will most likely be open til the 9th.
-

Merry meet,
I am slightly confused (a state I am usually in) about this rule:
You must enter a new write after you enter your prewrites, put the link in your AN so i know you did.
Exactly where in the AN are we suppose to put it? In the older poems we submitted or a link to the older poems in our new poem? Here is a link to my new poem for your contest.

Oops, I forgot to add a newer one. Bummer, I think I like my older ones better! My muse has been fighting with me lately, haha.
-
I have join this community about two months ago , i am sending all the poems which i have written in these two months . is that ok.
-
most of the poems haven't been viewed by the judge, so how is she going to be able to read over 400 poems in just 2 days!?
-
-
I am judging on the weekend so I have plenty of time to read that much I am avid reader I've read 200 books in 2 months i think i can read 400 poems in 2 days.
-
-
Aren't you expecting a little too much when you are asking for the oldest poem one has to offer and asking for metaphors and imagery in it? What you'd get from most people are more recent mature pieces bluffing their way through for the trophy... The one I submit is a poem I wrote at the age of 9. How would you expect that to compete against poems submitted by 20 odd year olds? I mean there has to be a standard evaluating scale...
-
oh, I don't envy you, you have a lot of reading to do...! Unless you took the week off, you might have to judge on the first impression of the first skim-over (an important feature of any poem)...
-
Instead of making us put our name in author notes why don't use just uncheck the anonymous box so it is not an anonymous contest?
-
yesterday I spent atleast a half an hour entering my poems into your contest and I don't see a single one here. Did you delete them all?
-
-
To answer both your questions I do not have an gold account so i cannot uncheck the anonymous box and no i didn't delete any poems from here there are at least 8 pages your poems are most likely on the last page.
-
-
thanks so much for silver & HM

Thank you so much!!!

-
You deserved it you have an amazing way with words.
I loved each poem you entered. -

I'm glad =]
