I've been here for 3 years today!

From Kevin : Congratulations! Today is the anniversary of your 3rd year at allpoetry. Thanks for being a part of our community, and I hope that allpoetry has helped your love and appreciation of poetry grow over the years!

 

That being said write me something that helps me appreciate poetry.

 

Nothing erotica, (but sensual is fine) and nothing involving cutting

(but dark is fine).

 

Metaphors, abstract, mystical, forms, freestyle, dirty pretty - almost anything goes.

 

Write a piece that reminds me of why you're listed on my favorites or either makes me want to add you.

 

I will not make a line limit but I will say that I love short poems.

 

Please label everything correctly.

 

Plain backgrounds only and nothing very dark nor bright.

If I must highlight it I won't read it.

 

Mild profanity is allowed.

 

Try to not use the words love, hate, cut, bleed, kiss, tongue, & heart

 

Prizes will increase.

 

Arkbear gave 1000 points towards the contest! Wow!

Thank you so much!

 

Prewrites aren't allowed. I want something fresh but not something that makes me have to visit rhymezone.com 

 

I'll close this when I get enough enteries. Feel free to reserve but try and be finished within 24 hours.

 

If you must use a picture with your poem please credit the artist in your author notes.

 

I always view poems first and I comment on them right before I judge.

 

Now go and pen me something that makes me go "wow". Give me another Susan Boyle moment.

    some are said to be intelligent which is hard to confirm or refute

  • 'Prewrites aren't allowed. I want something fresh but not something that makes me have to visit rhymezone.com ' - What sort of poem would make you need to go to rhymezone.com? Hm.
    I hope I enter this contest.
