Well fellow poets I've been hoarding points for too long now so I'm giving my own poetic muse a well deserved rest and now i will feed on yours for a while....
I want a poem that tells me a story, through it I want to see if the grass is greener on the other side or not. would prefer a love story: bad/ good doesn't matter. I want a chunk of tragedy or a slice of hope. you decide.
WHAT I LIKE
I'm a hopeless romantic when it comes down to it, i love beautiful imagery and metaphor if you can do it, and I love a great rhyme.
RULES
1) wow me!
2) make me feel!
3)PREFER FRESH WRITES, IF ENTERING A PRE WRITE IT MUST RHYME AND MEET THE CRITERIA IN SOME WAY.
Now run with it.............
