SHORT WRITES BUT POWERFUL IMAGES

I want poems that are between 10-15 lines. I want the poem to envoke an image. I do not want erotic images.

RULES
1 KEEP SWEARING LOW
2 NO TEXT OR CHAT SPEAK
3 NO EROTIC CONTENT
4 IMAGE MUST BE CORE OF POEM

I am not the best writer but I am a fantastic reader and a tough critic. This contest is not for those who are offended easily.

It is nice to read other contest entries. I encourage that you take a look at your competition. It can be helpful.

I am allowing two entries per person so some people can earn double points. I will have HMs. Please take advantage of my contest. More points will be added.


if you want to discuss this contest or my comments or lack of comments on yours or anothers poem leave me a note or if you have aim instant message me at teachgirl8 and i will be willing to back up what ive said.
