Rules
If you dont want to adhere to the rules thats perfectly fine.. then just dont enter... I mean really it would have taken you all of what 2 seconds to copy and paste it? -

The Crow & The Butterfly - does not have anythign to do with poetry
-
-
Hmmm
I definately never said it did it is just a simple quote that lets ME ( the judge/creator of this contest) know that you've read the rules... its really not a complicated concept... -
-
enjoy your complicated concept contest
-
-
I will... and I think what i will enjoy the most is that you're not in it! have a nice day!

Let me give you some honest literary criticism ... this contest is boring and mindlessly cliche
