Greetings all!!
Ok, so here it is, "Peer Pressure the Third" Contest inspired by Midnight-x-Rose' contest which I won some time ago.
The idea is that you enter upto 5 of your favourite poems, the poems that you are most proud of, into the competition.
As the entries start rushing in, please take the time to read the other entries and comment if you would like.
It is not a rule to have to comment on all entries but would be a kind gesture and the favour will hopefully be returned.
Rules:
1) Please do not bash any poems within your comments. All poetry has its merits.
2) Bookmark the contest so you can track entries and be aware of when it closes.
3) When the contest closes please message me your votes within 24 hours.
Your message should contain your 5 trophy winners in order
eg:
Gold: Lost Love by LonelyLover
Silver: Wisdom by Jimbo
Bronze: Death Awaits by DarkAngel66
Honourable Mention: Dancing In The Darkness by AngelWrath
Honourable Mention 2: Big Butts by LadyLumps
This is just a made-up example!
I will collate the votes and award the trophies after all votes have been counted.
Points may go up depending on the amount of entries.
So what are you waiting for??? Enter your best poetry, comment on your peers poetry and decide the winner of AllPoetry's Peer Pressure Contest!!
Good luck to you all!!
