this is your assignment: to speak now or forever hold your peace!
at wedding ceremony's you always hear this statement, but no one ever says anything. it seems like there are always some things on people's minds but they bite their lips and let it be gone.
marriage is not to be taken lightly! for this couple or any couple that intends to get married. there are many reasons to marry, but the best one is love. there are many reasons to get divorced, but the best one is not to get married if itz destined for divorce.
how does one know that a marriage will last. no one ever does. this is probably the only thing that bookies have a hard time making concrete bets.
if you feel there's a reason for this couple not to join for you love one of them, don't like one of them, or any reason you feel they should reconsider, then itz time to talk and say what you think.
most of my contest are fun and not so serious, but as life has it...there are those times that people have to be serious if only for a moment.
if there are no entries, then i get to keep my points and there will still be wedding bells.
if there are entries, then each entry will be given consideration of merrit as to why the couple should not get married.
rules:
1. no prewrites (yea, it won't work for this contest, hehehe).
2. any style, any length...itz your work and would not want to restrict you if i can keep from it.
3. one entry per poet.
4. the contest will close at my discretion.
as i will not say it on your entries for i will say it here; good luck in the contest.

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on January 12, 2004
- Rewards: Gold: 307
- Final notes:
honorable mention to carl aka imyourlover which will be given 57 points for his entry since there are no more trophies to give out.
i will be using my comments to carl's work as my closing thoughts:
"'"Love is about honesty and communication
Along with establishing understanding with inspiration
I personally know what I want in life
Especially since I have been on this site"
~~those words you speak are more truth than not. i can only wish that many will read these words and chew them up to digest them later and realize that a relationship is work. it should be fun, but it will not be fun at all times and there must be compromising on both parties. love is great, but it takes more than love to keep two people together. there's trust, desire, inspiration, admiration and the list continues. physical attraction is great, but it should be the last thing considered when you want a lifetime with someone. i don't know much about you. i am surprised that some other poets think you are my other screen name, but there are many who knows my other screen name and know itz not so. i do admire and respect your entry letting me know your honest feelings about chelsey. i understand how someone could fall for her. i should know, i fell for her. itz just we did not communicate on a level that i feel is necessary for a successful relationship. i will not put chelsey down and wish any ill will towards her. i truly wish her the best in life for she deserves the best for her and her daughter. i just hope the next guy she falls in love with (whether itz you or not) is able to communicate with her better. my poem "DARKless" sends that message, but the author's comments lays the foundation and hope people read them as well. i appreciate your entry. again, i feel the sincerity."

ohhhhhh great idea for a contest..i never thought of this before great job baby..im thinking of doing a Wedding shower contest where people can write poems about a gift they would give us for our wedding.. im not sure if i want to do that or something else im trying to collect points right now so i can do the contest.. hopefully i will get the points i need soon because im starting to get cramps in my hand from typing so much on peoples poems. anyway this is a really good idea baby i wont enter because well its about us? or maybe its not u just want people to write what they think i dont know but i really like this contest i think it is a very good idea..id like to work on another poem for us together.
like maybe an erotica story or poem together something along those lines. not sure i will have to think about it more...maybe you can talk to me and give me some ideas for it.. well lookie im just talking away as if this was an IM but no its a contest and im using all the space for this loooooooooong comment anyway GREAT idea for a contest i love it.. i am going to be so happy to read all the entries that come in.. anddddddddd i love you soooo much!
take care my dark prince...

baby chelz,
you must have forgotten that i told you about this idea over a month ago. i wanted to make sure that everything was on the fly, but i think you meant to say you hope there are no entries. if there are entries, then that means there might be problems. this is a serious contest about a serious subject. if there are no entries then itz straight to the chappel, but if someone speaks up...then that means there's a potential problem somewhere in a relationship somehow. yes, the collaboration for another erotica story sounds nice. like i said we will try to work on the story that you have started and see where it goes. -
I am sorry dear one, i will not be entering this contest....for I have no knowledge for objection of this union.
I am hoping to be a guest of heart at your wedding....singing ....
"I love you truly, truly dear,
life with its sorrow, life with it fear.
Fades into darkness, when ever you are near.
For I love you truly, truly dear."
(((((((((((((((((((((((((HUGS)))))))))))))))))))))))

Well, I can just forget my chances!
It seems that theDARK1 has forgotten all about my fantasy. I won't interfere, I hope the two of you are very happy (sniffs). I'll just go back to thinking about my husband. He loves me and I know he does (sniffles) It's oaky, don't worry about my feelings, I'll be just fine!
I'm a big girl! I've loved but this is the first time I've lost . Don't mind me, I'm fine JUST FINE!!!

I just wanted to thank you for the trophy ol' DARK one. I know it has been awhile since I have been on. I was surprised to see that I had won in a contest (I am not saying that my work is good, but it did take a lot of research for the poem I put in your contest). I want to go and congrat the other winners as well.
