EDIT: I'VE BEEN GETTING A LOT OF CLICHE PIECES,
DO NOT ENTER CLICHE POETRY YOU WON'T WIN
AND DON'T ENTER POEMS IN A TONNE OF CONTESTS ALREADY
Ok, so I feel like reading a lot of great poetry, but I want you to bring your poetry to me. Only enter pieces you deem worthy of gold; this means no cliche/dirty pretty nonsense.
Any form/length is accepted, but please nothing over 100 lines unless the lines are very very short. I also don't want to be reading any erotica.
I'll close this when my exams are over, which is this Friday. I'll start commenting then, because I have studying to do.
Don't enter poems that:
-I've already commented on
-Are in a tonne of other contests (I think it's very rude. A couple others are fine, but I've seen poems in over 20 contests.)
-Have distracting backgrounds. (I judge on the poem, not what behind it!)
Thanks & good luck!
En sielua.

pre-write contests are for those who can't come up with anything fresh. I often enter those They are often held by people who have nothing better to do than read stale old shit. I often hold those.
