We all have memories from the past whether they be wonderful, horrible, or depressing...we have them and hold them within ourselves. What I want you to do is write me something about your past. It can be your actual past or past life...it doesn't matter, but I want lots and lots of emotion involved. Just let your memories flood over you, and let your pencil write away...
*Rules*
~It doesn't have to rhyme if you don't want it to
~It can be short or long, but I do have a short attention span
~You can enter up to 2 times
~It can be humorous, depressive, cheerful, hateful....whatever just don't put it in the adult category because I won't be able to read it
~It can be previously written, but new poems are always better
That's all the rules or the only ones that I can think of anyways.
ENJOY AND GOOD LUCK!!!!!

SilverxXxShadow: I LOVED SO MANY OF THESE POEMS...it was so hard to judge it. I really enjoyed reading all of these, and learning about many of your pasts. The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd are all shown above...and since I had such a hard time judging this, I will include runner-ups, which are: "In My Arms" by KeepingTheStar, "Childhood Memories" by emBisacre, "Whirlwind of Thoughts" by FiXato, and "Death" by lori27brt, but I loved everyone else's poems as well. Congrats to the champions ::bows down to them::...I hope you all enjoyed the contest...I know I did.

Perfect timing A? lol, I love writing about past memories, in a way you know what I mean

I extended the contest for a little longer because I won't be here for a couple of days, so I'm going to at least let other people have a chance at entering instead of it just sitting there in the judging thing. Well, I thought I would at least tell you all that. GOOD LUCK TO ALL!!!!!!!!!!

Hello! I just wanted to thank you for your kind words, they really mean a lot to me. Thanks for holding this contest, and have fun judging!

Good Luck!
I entered two of my poems that mean a great deal to me.
They resemble a lot of my memories of someone I met in the past and things we have shared together. -
