Matters of the Heart..

Hello everyone.
Welcome to another one of my contest.

Today I would like for you to write me a poem,
expressing the depths of sadness and melancholy
of having your heart broken.

Use a "Maximum" of only 30 words to express your feelings.
Any more than 30 words will disqualify you. ( No Exceptions )

Rules:

1. use spell check please
2. no unnecessary computer lingo
3. Absolutely no Dirty Pretty. there's nothing pretty about it to me.
4. keep profanity to a minumum
5. label your poem's appropiately, especially if they're adult in nature.
6. write poem's that only deal with "Heart Break."

The winners of this contest would have used creativity and
imagination. Expressing deep emotions with clearity.
Metaphors and similies are always sure winners aswell.

Remember to keep it at 30 words or less and please stay
within the context of the prompt. ( "A Broken Heart" )

    Wow! what an interesting contest.
    I couldn't believe how fast I was able
    to collect the 20 entries I wanted.
    I loved all the poem's as they were
    filled with raw emotion.

    There were a few poem's that came
    very close in creativity and emotional
    content. I was so impressed by the
    writings that I added honorable mentions
    in order to reward such fantastic work.

    I would like to congratulate all the winners. I appreciate every poem
    and wish you all the best.
