- Contest was judged on June 24, 2004
- Rewards: Gold: 300
- Final notes: Tough Competition to judge even if I only received 8 entries for this contest. Each one has its special flavor and I enjoyed reading all the entries. As usual, I have to pick what I consider to be the top of the top so here are my winners for the trophies.
I am awarding everyone else points just for sitting down and penning me an erotic poem, but I have to admit that there was another one that was so close and that was Transcending by maryannde who took me on a new level of sensual eroticism with her free verse style and she will recive some special points for her write.

Gregg, you are a naughty, naughty boy...but you knew that, right? hahahaha. Truth be told...i don't know if i will have time to enter...it is INSANE right now. (you know how the school thing goes
) And to come up with something worthy of your contests, well...don't know if there is enough empty space left in the brain this week. But, if on the off chance i feel "struck" ...i will be sure to give you...i mean the contest...lol...a whirl! hahaha
UB
But darn...no animals...
JUST KIDDING! lol -
Wow... Greg, are you a picky Virgo by chance? I know how annoying rule breaking in a contest can be. I hope you get lots of entries. I'm having some pains presently, so erotica is far from my mind. Hopefully, the irritability subsides and I can enter as well. Great contest and best of wishes... ~genielassie~
-
Nah just a Pisces who gets tired of swimming against the current with poems full of spelling mistakes when it can be prevented
-
another contest...hmmmmm...
hehehe...me...write an erotic poem
hehehehahahahhahhahhehehe!
ehem...
me...writing an erotic, shakespearean sonnet....HAHHEHE!
ok...i'll settle down now.
going to go look at a pic of johnny depp...and see if i can find inspiration. if i do, keep in mind that i'll enter only for the fun of it...not as a serious entry (unless, as if by magic, i suddenly become a conduit of of emily dickinson's erotica...in which case, i shall sign myself into the nearest psych hospital).
another contest...hmmmmm...gregg...methinks you are madder than me!
~liz -
Ha! I love the little monkey faces! They seemed to say you mean business...but with a touch of humor.
Hmmmm, my pen hasn't been dipped in erotic ink for some time now. Perhaps this is just the contest to get it motivated? Yes, I think I'll enter. Elaina

Mmmmm... yummy picture.
Not quite sure I'm up to this challenge, I'll be waiting to see what entries you get though..
Good luck
Kyla

Kayla Dawn -
I leave for Indianapolis in two days, I will see if I can come up with something in that amount of time. Hope so, I like this type of thing.....once in awhile
-
I haven't tryed many contests so far but this one has me thinking... I guess I'll have to put my horney hat on. (HeHe I'm a baaadddd girl)
-
This contest will be going on until I get enough entries, so the closing date on it is not the real closing date, I can only enter one week at a time so there will definatyely be another week added after May 7th. Thanks for considering the contest and check out the links for examples of what I am looking for as well as the Form Poetry for ideas. Gregg
-
Well sir, I am actually quite glad to see that your standards for spelling, punctuation, and grammar are high. In view of this, I am sure you will want to correct your own error: "If there is any spelling errors" should be "If there are any spelling errors". I will see if I can come up with anything that meets your exacting standards.
-
Yes I will, I am just waiting until I change the date because it takes about an hour and a half to redo the whole editing/page layout process, thank you for showing me my error.
Gregg -
Ok, I will try my best, Gregg. Don't know how it will come out, though. I think this is a great idea for a contest though. But the next contest I run, you have to enter. shakes her finger at Gregg
s to you, my friend. I am going to work on my erotic poem now...
~Tawnya~ -
Fab Contest!!!
LMAO.... this is too good. I should enter.... if I can find a minute to write something for it I will. I have an adventure story due for a writing class and I'm having trouble with it so I don't know.
I'll definitely be reading the entries though LOL This should get interesting indeed.
p.s. I think the background put me into an epileptic fit but thats a good thing. ttyl

Good luck and have fun penning your erotism
~ eroticism, actually
[/irony] -
Interesting contest, certainly .. I'll have to look into this later, when I'm not on my way to work!
-
Still writing my entry, Gregg. It will be forthcoming within the next day or so. I am proofreading and editing it. I want it to be perfect.
~Tawnya~ -
Because I have to enter the hospital tomorrow I am extending this contest for another two weeks. Hope to see some new entries by the time I come home. And in the meantime , thank you to those who have entered, about to enter and who will be entering. See you when I get back. Gregg

WEEE GREGG i Told you I'd enter. I had fun too, doing that double sonnet. I have only written three erotic poetry pieces in my entire career as a writer, and i think this is one of my better ones. I perfer my stories, way more detail is available, but i hope i did all right my friend.
-
I want you to hold one of these soap opera erotica contests for short stories. But I understand if that is too much for you to handle.
~Bezoar -
Poem still not finished. Can't write right. Blahh.
~Tawnya~ -
wicked little contest here...I am not feeling very erotic right now...been doing laundry...will come back later and check out the entries...freda
-
Wow...reading your rules I had a sudden flashback to Blazing Saddles, when Hedley Lamarr shot one of the bandits for chewing gum on line, and Clevon Little said "Man, he is STRICT!"
My applause...it's damn well time someone (besides me) insisted that poetry is an art requiring literacy as a base!
Sorry to say, but I don't write erotica for public viewing: given that the object of poetry is to share emotion with the reader, and that sexual arousal is the fundamental emotive content of erotica, I just can't see a way around it: that would be cheating on my wife. I'll be watching for you to post another contest with such strict requirements, though...I like to feel I'm in good company when I compete. -
I am finally closing this contest since I seem not be getting any new entries, good luck to everyone and hope that by the time I come back all mistakes would have been corrected and no disqualifying will happen. Thank you all for entering this contest and get ready for another one as soon as I finsih judging this one. Gregg
-
Thank you for the trophy, I honestly did not expect it. I am honoured...........Thank you again and take care of yourself
