okie dokie... i'm all lovey dovey this week, so i want to hear about the struggle you've had to go through for love. a love that seemed it could never be- but pulled through. my poem "clarified" is an example, but yours doesn't have to use lyrics. basically, just why you thought it wouldn't work out and how you decided to let it happen. i don't tend to like poems that rhyme. you can submit them, definitely, but they are less likely to win.
now for the rules (i know, *grumble groan*):
1) Prewrites are allowed, but if so, i want a new one too, please.
2) No more than three entries per person
3) Read and comment on at least two of my poems. (i'd definitely recommended clarified, but that's not required)
4) I don't see it coming up in this type of poem, but.. i don't mind "foul" language so long as it serves a purpose in the piece. i've been known to use a few choice words in my day.
5) Please write "PINK ROSES" in all caps in your author comment so i know you read the boring rules...IF YOU DON'T, I WILL DISQUALIFY YOU.
6) If your story needs some extra explaination, then go for it in your author comment. i don't really want a bunch of "this speaks for itself" poems. if i can't tell what went down from the poem, please explain. thanks.
7) Erotica is cool with me.
8) Have fun with this. love is a beautiful thing, and i just want these poems to make me happy for you!
any questions, suggestions, comments, etc- just im me. <3 and luck to all.
sorry guys. had to move closing until after school gets out. i'm just too swamped to give all these entries a good read right now.
just a warning: IF YOU'VE ONLY ENTERED A PREWRITE BY THE TIME I JUDGE, I WILL DISQUALIFY YOU WITHOUT EVEN READING THE ENTRY.

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on June 24, 2004
- Rewards: Gold: 500
- Final notes: once again, i'm sorry it took so long for me to judge.
my first cut was people who didn't put PINK ROSES in their author comments. i hadn't planned to be strict about it, but i had so many entries that i had no choice.
next, i got a lot of really good poems that just weren't what i was looking for- like lost love poems.
i finally got it down to 15 entries, and from there it was such a hard decision. i wish i had more trophies!!!
right words recieves gold because it was a very well written poem that truly touched me. i have been in the shoes of that guy. my girlfriend was raped, and she was scared to tell me. so this poem brought up a lot of emotion in me. amazing write, congrats, and thanks for sharing! 500 pts.
typed emotions also hit me on a personal level- i have an internet love of my own. i decided to just keep him as a friend, but we love each other very much and internet love can be such a deep connection. another incredible entry! 150 pts.
remember how to love was just a beautifully written poem. i loved the style. congrats and thank you. 100 pts.
honorable mentions- 20 pts each
bittersweet lovesong
candle in the wind
finally mine
love will see us through
moment of truth
my destination
my feelings for…
you make everything perfect
~*~note~*~: thinking of you was also an extraordinary poem recieving honorable mention, but no points because delphinidae also won silver and will get points for that entry.
im me and i'll send your points. thanks loads to everyone who entered! <3.

, gonna go read some of your stuff, like your rules stated, alltho i probs wudda even if you didnt put in rules anyways, good luck to all 
-
I think its skank to require poets to comment on 2 poems in order to qualify. Seriously.
-
HIYA! Okay, so my poem does not fit your criteria, but since you are feeling all lovey dovey this week... I thought that you might want to read it! It is about love, but hey, what can i say, twins stick up for each other...If you want to know what I am talking about you should read the poem! HAHAHAHHEHEHEHE!! I just thought that you might be interested!
-
OKay, well i never told you what the poem was called did i? It is called, Sisters of the Wild West Show!

interesting contest...PINK ROSES
Edited on May 30, 5:53 p.m. because ''. -
Finally I posted a new poem. Sorry it took me so long. I am very lucky that you extended the contest, otherwise I would have missed it entirely and got disqualified! Yikes!
-
I'm so sorry about moving the judging back so far, y'all. but i really want to judge the contest fairly and i've got extenuating circumstances at home that make it really hard for me right now. as soon as school's out, i'll judge this baby. thanks so much to all who entered. remember, if your author comment doesn't say pink roses and you don't have at least one original entry, your poems will be disqualified. (unless we've talked about it privately).
-
what do u mean by origanal entry??? mine hasn't ben used befor for ne poems so idk if thats what u mean
-
i mean that you cannot just enter a prewrite. if you enter a pre-write, you need a new one, too.
-
so will mine work... i didn't right it specificly for this contest but i did find out about the contest around the time i wrote it
-
Yeah....... with all respect, theres no harm in just entering a prewrite, hope you'll change ur mind there
-
hmmm this has gotta been the longest contest ive been in, congrats to you
hee hee
-
My love never pulled through. It's too bad since I was the best thing she would ever have in loving her. I loved her like there was no end to tomorrow, then she through it all away by being a slut. Sorry if I was harsh by that statement. Good luck with the contest.
-
Pink Roses
-
my poem is scary in that sence... i haven't had a gf in over 5 years and i wrote it during my "drought" in my love life.... pitty im still in that "drought"
-
wow. good luck judging this contest. you have a lot of reading to do. have fun
-
i was just wondering when you are going to choose the winners?
just curious
-
yeah i was wondering that too
-
i'm judging now guys. i'm sorry...i swear i'm not a lazy bum, just had sooooo much going on and no comp until a few days ago. moving sucks.
-

-
Thank you so much for the Silver Trophy, and for the honourable mention! I am elated that you enjoyed both my poems. Have a wonderful day.
