Okay so this is my first contest in a VERY long time. I worked very hard to get the points to have it and I am extremely excited!
There are three categories
Category 1
Write me a poem inspired by one of the following songs
Angels on the moon - Thriving Ivory
I miss you - Blink 182
Man who can't be moved - The Script
There is no method to my madness these lyrics just inspire me..
Category 2
Write me a poem that tells a story..I don't care what it is about as long as it moves me. (no erotica please)
Category 3
Write me a love poem...One that will reach down into the depths of my soul and pull out something magnificently beautiful...This is your chance to take my breath away..
Okay. So I am making this contest last long enough so that I can get the rest of the points I need. Each place will be awarded 400 points because I will pick a winner for each category (guaranteed)..
If I can get enough points the 2nd place will get 300 points and 3rdplace will get 100 points. Honorable mentions generally get thirty points but I will throw in an extra 20! (donations welcome). Good luck! I look forward to reading your submissions..
Rules:
one entry per category
please don't rape the shift key...I will DQ you.
No bashing..this is a bash free zone...
Put the category # in your author notes. If you chose #1 please put the song you chose..thank you.
LAST RULE
you must comment 1 other poem in the contest ( of your choice ) and put the name of said poem in your AN! Thank you!
I was being nice and reminding people but since I am A) not even getting any new writes ( which should make a 2 minute addition a piece of cake) and 2) have to tell almost EVERY person to do it after they enter (which measn they aren't reading the rules) Effective NOW I will DQ any entry that hasn't followed my rules. I have entirely too many points riding on this contest and I earned them all the old fashioned way. I do not think I am asking too much. Thank you :0)

3.Contests are the responsibility and choice of the author they are created by, and we do not regulate whether rules are followed, if they are judged as promised, or how many entries are allowed. Contests cannot require entrants to comment on any specific person's poem. No contests just to hand out trophies.

Yes, that is correct...I have already addressed the italicised portion of this policy and posted the answer from a moderater from this site.
