Rounds! Tears of Blood and Ink

This is my second contest, and I wanted to try a rounds one. All I want for this is your favorite pre-write, rhyme is fine, any length, and you can use any form or none at all. If you do rhyme though, I want it to flow naturally, I'm irritated if it's forced. I prefer darker writes with a lot of imagery, but please no cliches. I LOVE PIECES THAT MAKE ME THINK!!!!!! AND VOCABULARY!!!!!

The number of people who move on(finalists) depends on the quality of the entries. Points and trophies may increase.
Couple things:

~ PLeaSe NonE Of THiS
~ If you must use something adult, don't label it that way or I won't be able to read it.
~ No prejudice or stereotyping/labels. You will be removed.
~ You don't have to, but it would be great if you commented on others' entries.
~ Check spelling and grammar. Please, I beg of you.

I'm looking forward to reading these, and there are some really excellent poets on here. Show me!


Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on February 22
  • Rewards: Gold: 400, Silver: 200, Bronze: 100, Honorable mention: 5 people
  • Final notes:
    This has been a tough contest to judge, as there a lot of REALLY great entries. I have fairly high standards, and they were most definately exceeded. I would like to point out that after the trophies, the finalists are not in any particular order. Those of you on there will be messaged when I have the next round up. If you have any questions about anything, don't hesitate to message me. Again, really excellent pieces here, and wonderfully done everyone!
    Thank you!!!!!!
