Don't really care what you enter.
Don't care if you cuss.
Don't care if it's erotic, or if it's about love, or heartbreak, or just what you're thinking right at this moment...
Here's the catch... it HAS to WOW me.
I want to speechless and I want to be fretting over who gets the gold.
I don't want silly, goofy, spur-of-the-moment poems. I want emotions and feelings and thoughts and descriptions and pictures in my head.
There's only one thing I WILL NOT ALLOW--- some of you poets like to write from like centuries ago and make it all Shakespeare-y and what-not. I WILL disqualify you if you write like that. Anything BUT THAT.
That's it.
-WOW me.
-no other-century writing
-it can be about anything
-nothing goofy, or silly
GO!
