Before you enter, though, check out one or two of the people on my favorites:
http://allpoetry.com/favorite/show/color%20me%20silent
and see the kind of things I look for in them.
So I want you to give me one to three of your favorite prewrites. Prove to me that you should be on my favorites.
Things I like:
freeverse
prose
imagery
metaphor
Things I don't like:
rhyme [unless you're the absolute best at it]
cutting/emo/suicide
erotica
sticy caps.
Please, please, PLEASE give me your best.
Points will go up if I get quality work.
*EDIT*
Please give me more that works about lost love. I understand it's something everyone goes through, but that's not all I want to read.
Also, I allowed three entries because I hope to see a few of your works... please keep that in mind

i should DEFINITELY not be in your favourites.
-
i totally bookmarked this, but since i'm in a sad mood now is NOT the best time to enter.
-
this contest is sooo open--->
it is so open i dont really know what to put here as an entry. rhyme or no rhyme i have a lot that should be read by all or maybe ignored and forgotten instead... i tossed a few things in your direction here but truthfully dont know why. the contest just tweaked my interest for some weird reason because it is unusual and your name is new to me... i am not a social being and it really doesnt matter if i am in your favorites or not but still i am here typing to you ironically...
for whatever its worth i can say that maybe i should be in your favorites and maybe i should check out your writing as well...
for the moment i will just leave things as they are and if you want to really taste my soul you will have to read other writes i have posted and comment how you will...
until then- peace to you...

But I entered a few in that don't rhyme as much as my others..
Hope it works
