Really simple contest, authors! Dig up your best HM, which you think should've won a better shiny and submit it here. Cannot have won a bronze, silver or gold cup!!!
Rules:
1. Mark adult appropriately.
2. No poems that have won higher than HM's.
3. Spelling and grammar are your friends!
4. If your poem is entered in another contest and wins a gold, silver or bronze before this one is judged, please remove it from my contest!
5. Any form poetry and genre welcome, but see below.
Poems NOT likely to win:
1. Whiny emo stuff
2. Abstract poetry that I can't understand
3. Prose
4. Dirty Pretty
5. Cliche
6. Sappy love poems
I'll comment on all poems!
Okay, let's see what's out there!
