Talk back to me

Well, I am extending the contest one last time to try to get more entries. Please enter the contest.

Ok, to (hopefully) get more entries, I am going to allow pre-writes for awhile!

Ok, so this is my first contest and I think its something a little different. If it goes well, soon as I can get more points, I'll do another version of it. So here goes:

Like the title says, Talk back to me. Visit my page, pick any one of my poems and write a poetic response to it. It can be as long (one of mine is 154 lines long, so I can do long) or short (I have some Haiku there as well) as you want, as long as it legitimately responds to my poem.

Here are the rest of the rules:
1. No Sticky caps

2. Use proper english, no txt words, use spellcheck - I will DQ for this.

3. Not into profanity, if you use it, it had better be for a good reason. I may ask you to resubmit with an alternative version without the profanity.

4. Not into the whole cutting thing, so please don't do it here.

5. Not even sure what "Dirty pretty"? is, so until someone explains it to me, leave it for somewhere else.

6. No erotic, if I want that I'll watch Showtime, or Cinemax.

7. Leave a comment on the poem you choose, if you want to, put the title in the AN, in case I can't figure out which you are responding to. I'll comment on all the poems submitted.

I think that's all, good luck! I can't wait to see how some of you interpret and respond to my poetry.
