My 5th Anniversary of joining AllPoetry was on May 13th. In honor of my anniversary I decided to do a contest.
I would like you to enter the first poem that you entered onto Allpoetry when first joining. Then I would like you to enter your most recent poem written on Allpoetry, or write a new poem.
I will judge both of your poems, and the differences in the two. Winners will be those that I believe have improved the most in the amount of time they have been on.
1. Please do not use sticky caps
2. Please put in your authors comments of your newest or oldest poem the date that you joined allpoetry.
3. I AM NOT A GOLD MEMBER, THEREFORE I WILL NEED EVERYONE TO WRITE THE TITLES OF BOTH POEMS WRITTEN AND WHICH IS THE NEW ONE AND WHICH IS THE OLD ONE, IN THE AUTHOR'S COMMENTS OF BOTH POEMS! PLEASE! IF THIS IS NOT ON THERE, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO WIN!
THANK YOU!
4. Each person should only be entering TWO poems in this contest.
5. The oldest poem will have to be a prewrite. I would like the newest poem to be a new poem (not a prewrite). This is not required but it may influence the judging slightly.
6. I am interested in what people think Allpoetry has done for their writing skills. Please put in your author notes (or in the poem itself) what you believe Allpoetry has done for your writing abilities. (Not a requirement, but I am very interested to know since that is why I am entering this contest.
7. I MAY CRITIQUE on your newest poem, if there are things I notice you might improve on, since this contest is about improving in writing! Please do not be offended!
