I'm Crazy....but OH WELL!!! PREWRITE CONTEST!!!!

Okay, soooo I'm dying to read a whole bunch of poems, and I have no idea why. But oh well!

Okay I'm pretty open about PreWrite contests, but just to make sure I don't regret doing this, there will be some rules.

1. Nothing over 50 lines
2. Within your piece there can be no harm to children.
3. No cussing
4. Nowhere in your piece can you refer to someone as "babe" <---[pet peeve]

Other than those things, everything else is allowed!!!

And I do reserve the right to DQ your piece[s]. I'm tired of letting people who don't follow the rules by.

SO HAVE FUN AND GET ENTERING!!!!!!!

    like 97 percent of my stuff is over 50, because I have lots of spaces at the ending and beginning....

    can I still enter? D:

  • *makes mental note to write poem calling someone a babe* heh
    That's a strange peeve. Babe actually has a long poetic and lyrical history.

      I agree - the pictures are flashing on the screen - I would prefer still photos!

  • I hate it when people use the word "babe" in their poem as well. I'm not even sure as to why it just bugs me lol ummm I have a poem that is 52 lines is it okay if I enter that?

    ~stares at the amount of entries~ i was going to enter this, but with that many entries, i won't. Besides, getting this many entries in one contest has to be torture

    Good luck judging!

  • Oh my Katie, we sure do have a lot to do. We must get to work, and I'm really determined to get all of this commented on
