Please read whole description. Thank you.
What I want for this contest is TWO entries from you all. The entries must be:
-Your BEST prewrite, one you think is your best work - Optionally this write could be a fresh write.
and
-Your WORST prewrite , one you think is your worst - This option must be a prewrite.
(I would appreciate no erotica/Highly religious poems)
I can see who enters what so I can compare the entries. I will be judging based on how much your writing has improved and what I think of the poem you submit to be your best.
I reserve the right to close this contest for whatever reason I see fit and to remove any entry that I feel isn't relevant to my contest. I will read all. May no longer have time to comment on all due to internet problems.
Rules:
No bashing other poets
No StICky CaPS or chat speak
Place in your AN which poem is your best and worst (hopefully I'll be able to tell.)
Good luck.
Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on February 23
- Rewards: Gold: 400
- Final notes: 1st, 2nd, 3rd in order, following poems are randomly placed. This was hard to judge for more than one reason, some of you advanced so far and it was really good to see. This was the positive reason it was hard to judge, the negitives were as follows : some of you entered ONE poem which negated yourself a place right away as i specified clearly TWO poems each entry and which two types were needed. secondly, some of you did not follow the rules, as stated - write in your author note which poem is which. The ones who did not do this only have themselves to blame for not placing as I sent multiple reminders about both ! of these negatives.
Thank you all the poeple who entered correctly, followed the rules and won, placed,... majoritvly you all did well. Sorry on my behalf for it taking so long to judge, internet problems.

great contest
this is something new
i hate my older poems as do everyone lol but saying tht as i re read newer ones they soon lose the appeal lol -
Oh, I'll definitely enter this. I've got tons of poems, it's hard to figure out which I think is my best or my worst, honestly. All my old "junk" needs to be sifted through to find the worst one XD

Hello World is probably my worst poem ever, but I think Inches is my best for the time being so yeah. I wrote Hello world in high school... a friend of mine being the muse behind it. She is also the muse for Inches, but I have gotten older sence then too... so I think Its a better way of describing myu feelings.
-
I wish I could enter, but I can never, ever choose my 'best'. I have no probs picking my worst though...pretty much all of them lol.
-
I think I boo booed by deleting one of my entries...I hit the wrong button and it won't let me fix it. Sorry

I am stunned. Thank you so much for the honour of the Gold. It means so much to me. There are days I feel like I am growing...learning a bit more about poetry and life...then there are those days when I feel as though my feet have been encased in cement. Thank you for holding this contest. I hope it gives other people the encouragement to keep on keeping on! 
Congrats to all the winners.
