I am in need of new poets to converse with
People who write amazing poetry that I should keep up with
I am looking for new favourites
So I have created this contest for you to write something dark to dazzle me
If you succeed, I shall add you to my favs
A source of inspiration is in my deviant art favourites list:
I am also partial to metal bands such as:
Disturbed, Slipknot, Killswitch Engage, Seether, Linkin Park, Korn, Rob Zombie, Rammstein, Pantera, Screaming Jets, KISS, Metallic, NIN, Opeth, INXS
Rules:
20 - 50 lines
Dirty pretty is welcome
Only rhyme if you're good at it
The spell check is your friend
I detest chat speak and ThIs TyPiNg
Metaphors and brilliant imagery
If you use an image, credit it in your author notes
I reserve the right to close/cancel this contests if it does not meet my expectations, does not receive enough entries, or is a failure.
Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on January 31
- Rewards: Gold: 400, Silver: 200, Bronze: 100, Honorable mention: 3 people
- Final notes: Thank you all for your entries
I liked quite a lot, alas I can't place them all
All of those above the line, I'll add you to my favs
Not in offence to those below, only with my greeter duties if I add you all I'm sure I will not comment and thus, be useless
Thank you again
Shari
