Okay, hey everyone! This is my first contest. Well basically I want poems that will bring some sort of emotion to me, on any topic or situation. It could be happy, sad, hope, funny, dark, depression, suicide, death, society, love, heartache, ANYTHING! Just send me something good.
THE RULES:
1.) If you chose to use a pre-write you have to comment on another contestant's work for each pre-write you use.
2.) I've changed my mind, there is no max. to how many poems you can submit.
3.) For every poem that you submit you must comment on at least two of my poems.
4.) Poems or haiku's only, no story's please!
5.) Finally have fun!
Okay, now that we've got the rules covered, in which I hope everyone has read them. To ensure that you did, in your author's comments write "Orchids" I will be following up on these rules and if they aren't all followed you will be dis-qualified. But, I will notify you first.
Prizes:
1st Place - 400 points
2nd Place - 200 points
3rd Place - 100 points
And three runner up's will receive 50 points!
Good luck!

I like your sense of fairplay. Good luck with this.
I feel very deep things but even for an accomplished writer such as myself, it's hard to compete the painof your soul with another who has the same. Anyway, good deal
