EXPERIENCED POETS NEEDED

1) Write me a poem using one of these titles:

Wrapped In a Blanket of Silence
Dumpster Diving
Intelligence Is Overrated
Live For Today but Leave Something Behind For Tomorrow
Hillbillly Love Story
Frozen wishes
Layout of disaster (or you may change disaster into your own optional word)
Defining sobriety



2)Click on the link for advanced words to use, and use atleast 6 of them
in a poem. More than six would be awesome, but i dont want to go to extremes.

3) Write me a poem describing yourself, but do not over-use the word " I "
If i feel you have done so i will suggest you alter it a bit, and if not, it will be
disqualified. This basically pertains to all the beginner and simplified poets
out there to let them see a new side of poetry writing.


THE RULES:

1) PLEASE DO NOT MAKE YOUR POEMS EXCESSIVELY LONG.
if they become 2 page lengths or more I get lost in reading and focusing,
therefor proper attention would not be given to give adequate judgement.

2) Do not think that commenting on my poetry will gain you extra attention,
or favoritism, because it won't. Feel free to browse mine if you want, but it
will hold no favoritism in the judgement hour.

3) Please let me know what option you chose to go with if you do not think
it would be self explanatory. You do not have to add the option of #1 because
the titles are there. but with two and 3, you might want to do so, so i can
distinguish the difference.

4) If erotica is your thing, please be sure to mark adult on it, as always.
