For my next contest I would like as much emotion as you can muster, I don't want too many rules or guidelines but I do have a few.
Subject matter can be anything you like but it must be full of depth and emotion - I don't want to know just what you're doing, I want to know how you are feeling.
I'm allowing prewrites in this one, but please only enter a PW if it has not won anything, (that includes HM's)
Keep your poems under 30 lines, any form is fine, but no prose.
If I think of anything else I'll add it here as an afternote.
Good luck all.
