Just make sure it is form. I'm not a fan of ballad, epic, etc...

 

 

Please put what form you use in your AN and how it's composed. Thanks.

 

 

Have fun!

Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on January 23
  • Rewards: Gold: 500, Silver: 300, Bronze: 200, Honorable mention: 4 people
  • Final notes:
    READ ME!! First off, all of these entries were stellar. I had such a difficult time judging this one. The top three poems are all GOLD worthy. The three HM's could easily have taken a silver or bronze. I feel as if I'm insulting the HM's by placing them there when they deserve so much more, but contest rules won't allow it. Don't feel slighted. They're better than HM!


    To the rest of you. Your poems were awesome, and I enjoyed each and every one of them.


    To Cricketjeff, thank you for helping me with this difficult contest. I couldn't have done it without you!


    Thanks for entering. See you, hopefully, in my next contest. Kim
