ONLY prose/freeverse!
if it's rhyming, it will be dq'd, sorry!
I want something with amazing imagery,
possibly about a lost love.
I really don't mind what you enter, I want inspiration/entertainment.
Also, I'm looking for some new favorites!
Maybe some motivational pieces, as well?
Only rules:
HAS to be prose/free verse!!no rhyme!
Please don't just put a bunch of metaphors that make no sense in the poem...it's confusing trying to figure out what you mean!
Other than that, just have fun!
I've raised the number of points for the awards.
also!
I don't have the time to give a heartfelt comment to EVERY poem, so once I end the contest I will make sure to comment any I have missed! thanks!

This must be the 3rd time i've visited this contest, it's title inspires something deep in me. I just can't seem to put it on paper.
Either way, I think the number of entries proves how many people you've inspired. -

Damn! I wrote one for this, and then totally forgot that I wanted it in a contest, and I submitted it without adding it to yours. I had the window open and everything. Argh. =' [
