    Unbelievable!

    Apparently you dqed my poem because it wasn't on a plain background. The background where the poem is, is in fact plain black and the 2 colored stripes on either side of the poem are not at all relevant or in no way interfere with the poem itself.

    I have decided to remove my poem for the following reasons

    When you judged my poem,you told me "Sorry but you don't have a plain background" ( all but one of your finalists have a background no different than mine) "Close Friends"
    After I complained to you, you moved my poem into the finalists section. (you insinuated that my poem wasn't good enough when I complained to you)
    I want to have my poem win on it's own merit in your contest and not because you are trying to "make things right" I know this is your first contest, so I understand your inconsistencies and am not angry.

    Woah!

    You are just plain flat out RUDE! You have serious anger issues. SO what if it's not on a plain background and the ending line is fine to me! So knock your attitude off and at least be nice when you say you don't like my poetry! Okay? I'm removing my poem. I no longer wish for it to be in this-or any of your contests.

    I have responded to those who have complained below in private messages. I'm sorry if some are offended by me not liking their poems. I was not aware that this site did not allow you to dislike someone's poetry to the point of actually saying so. I will mind that the next time I'm reading crap, and try not to tell someone I'm reading crap. That is all, the Contest is thankfully about to be over. I'm judging right now. Thanks for the entries (even the crappy ones!!! LOL). Good luck in the future. Keep writing if you must (you know who you are). For those of you who are in the Finalists list, and a few who didn't make it that far, my sincerest appreciation for your entries. Thanks a lot.
