This is a simple contest.
I need inspiration.
There are rules and I reserve the right to disqualify any poem that breaks the rules.
Rules:
~No Profanity
~No Suicide
~No Erotica
I prefer poems that possess eloquence and meter, rhyme and flawless flow. However, your entries do not have to met this criteria.

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on January 24
- Rewards: Gold: 300, Silver: 200, Bronze: 100, Honorable mention: 4 people
- Final notes: This contest was a covert experiment to see if I wanted to stay on allpoetry or leave after months of frustration and resentment. And though I will not reveal my final decision I will say that I am contented with the poems that triumphed. They are beautiful and deserving to be called poetry. When we think of the word poetry we think eloquence and beauty. The winning poems fit that description directly. Thank you all so much for entering and God bless you.
Congrats!
