Fall in Love

I am finally going to be judging the poems. If you care to help me with this.. feel free to Email me at Butterfliegurl06@aol.com. You may also IM me at this name as well...

I am so impressed with how many entries I have recieved. However, I will only allow one poem per person to enter my top ten. Once the list of the top ten have been announced...I will re-read them to determine the winner.

Best of Luck!

Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on March 25, 2004
  • Rewards: Gold: 300
  • Final notes:
    I would like to thank everyone that has entered in this contest. I know it took a while to judge, but if you read some of these poems... it is really hard. I choose the ones I did, becuase they touched me the most... Great people come into my life and sometimes I am blessed enought for them to stay. However, some move on and I move on without them. In this case, that is what has happened. I don't need the guy that I thought I did. The guy that I was looking for was right under my nose the entire time... Take a look around. Stand back and look at your life. If you were to die tomorrow... would you be satisfied with your accomplishments? Just think about all of that. Don't judge someone by the cover... look what's on the inside first...

    Wow, my boyfriend (who I'm in love with and who loves me) decided that he needs a break because against his will, he has started to like some girl who put me and him through a lot of crap a few months ago. It hurts so bad...how ironic this was the first contest I saw after starting to have my heart ripped slowly apart. I might enter.

    I mean no offense by this, but if you want a really powerful poem that can make your ex boyfriend cry, shouldn't it be one that you write? After all, you know him, you could make it personalized to something that could only be written by someone who knows him.

    It is a good idea for a contest, but to me, it just seems like it'd be cheating or something to use a poem that someone else wrote to win him back.

    Of couse I would write my own poem. I was just trying to further explain what I am looking for. I have already wrote many poems for him and he has enjoyed them. And no, I am serious that sex is for marriage. If you have a problem with that KittysAnAngel05, maybe you should think about NOT entering. And it wasn't my decision alone. He too agrees.... Know what you are talking about before you call some one screwed up becuase of them doing something they believe in.

    Finally a great contest. See,theres this girl katie..and I can actually say I love her. She's so perfect for me but she has a boyfriend. She cheated on him with me, but they still didn't break up...so now I write to let my emotions out/ I kind of know how you feel, so im glad someone has made a contest like this one!

    Your position is an unfortunate one. I was in one kinda like it earlier. My bf of 5 months dumped me and we were apart for a little over 3 months, but we're back together now. But this contest is a great idea. I gave him a letter and apparently it helped in the break-up between him and his gf at the time so good luck, I might write an entry for the contest too. =)

    One question: Why do you want a poem to make him cry? If you really want him to know that you love him why don't you write him one yourself? I'm sure it would mean a lot more coming from your heart. Also, a word of advice to him [if he reads this] I know of someone who was proposed to but didn't marry this "perfect guy" because this guy ended up having to marry another girl [she said she would kill herself if she didn't stay with him] The two went their own ways and the man and suicidal woman ended up getting a divorse. Moral: THIS IS YOUR LIFE, LIVE, LOVE, LAUGH AND BE HAPPY. No one can tell you or force you to love. Also, what are the chances that anyone has a prewrite for this? I guess there is a possibility. Good luck with the contest and the guy

    narrow-minded. sorry

    well since you said it's okay to disagree, then 'll admit that i do. i will try to be diplomatic but i must say that i don't really like the basis or the rules at all for this contest. first off, your very first topic. why are you hiring other people to write a poe for your ex? how is a poem from a complete and total stanger going to prove that you love him? sweetie, if you want him to come to that realization, you're going to need to write it yourself. the other topics i don't really have a problem with. now, on to the rules.
    why are rhyming poems a bonus? not everyone writes rhymed poetry, and sometimes free verse is more appropriate. it just doesn't make sense to automatically give more credit to rhymed poems over non rhymed. next...no sex? if you don't believe in engaging in sex before marriage that's fine, that's your prerogative, but you seem to fail to understand that sex can be a beautiful thing. that's why it's called "making love." and to automatically disqualify a loving act just because you don't agree with it seems rather obtuse of you. i also think that on the rare occasion, a swear word or two might be appropriate. i also have some issues with the fact that you can only submit one previously written poem. people write poems about love all the time, why would you limit them to just one? at least it's been revised and polished, and it will be better than one just slapped together at the last minute.
    i'm not trying to offend you, these are just the facts the way i see them. but again, this is your contest and i suppose you can judge it any way you like. good luck to all the contestants.
