I'm in the mood for really good poems. Mind-boggling poems. Heart wrenching poems. Uplifting and inspiring poems. I want to read some damn good poems.
So, if you wish to enter this contest, send in your GOLD TROPHY winning poems. I only want GOLD winning. No silver, no bronze, no honorary mention, just GOLD. Then I will pick the best of the best.
This is an easy contest that doesn't take much effort and becuase this is about the best of the best, there are no rules, no limits to your greatness (however, I cannot view adult content so I'm very sorry for all those great poems, maybe when I'm older). Send in what other's think is your best work and see how it competes.
Good Luck!

P.S. Now that these poems are starting to add up and as they continue to do so, I have to be harsh in my desisions. Please do not think of me as ill-hearted or cruel. I know these are all wonderful poems but I have to point out the flaws in order to choose a winner. This is a warning, I am going to be hard because if I'm not, I'm never going to be able to pick a winner. Truly, I'm not a wicked person, I just have to be for this. So sensitive souls, beware!
In addition, the points have gone up because all (and I mean all) of these poems are exceptional and deserve a lot more.

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on April 1
- Rewards: Gold: 1000, Silver: 300, Bronze: 100, Honorable mention: 5 people
- Final notes: Thank you to all that entered. I throughly enjoyed judging this contest. I was sad that I had to remove so many poems due to people not following the one rule I had (Gold poems only) and sadly, it didn't make it any easier to judge. I think many of these poems are brilliant and all deserve golds (which is why they're here). So congrats to the winners and I hope to read more of everyone's poetry. Well done and keep up the good work! ~Des

You should state that you cannot view adult or abuse material so we do not try to enter them.
