Melancholy Madness

Melancholy, by definition (in case you wanted to have a vocabulary lesson) is a feeling or causing sadness: feeling or making somebody feel a thoughtful or gentle sadness, DO IT!

gentle sadness. make me sad, make me feel some MELANCHOLY. My favorite kind of poetry. You can make the melancholy, a mystery sadness, a love sadness, a angst sadness and any other sort of sadness you can think of.

More than likely, you'll do good. But follow these SIMPLE rules.

- No Free-form poetry. I dont like it as much... not feeling it.
- It better be melancholy, especially if its a PW.
- final: Have fun.

I FEEL LIKE ENDING IT NOW, SO GOOD JOB AND STAY TUNED.

Good luck :-)

  • Final notes:
    Good Job to all my winners. This was, infact, my first contest and it was very fast, and hard. And I read a lot of amazing poems and I absolutley loved them all. Judging had to be counted down from so many levels and it just all and all was based on the best of the best. But it was really hard. But anyway. I loved them all, I know the ending of the contest was earlier than I wanted, but it was getting hard to judge so I had to end it before I had like 70 Honorable Mentions. Great job and congrats to all of the winners and HMs.

    peace and love,

    jake
