    A love that breaks the mask of blame and lies,
    Once hidden, such a long and dark decay.

    A nice varied choice of quotes linked by the same theme... love. Amazing how people never grow tired of love peoms. They grow tired of politics, self-pitying poems... but never of love.
    I suspect you'll get a lot of entries and judging will be an absolute treat. Good luck with hosting this contest!

    good idea

    This is a great idea. I like that fact that you hav preferred to keep it short. Love is such a peciliar thing, the more you try to explain, the more complicated it gets! lol!

    I am sure you will get a lot of entries for this contest. I just wrote my first love poem, and it fits one of the quotes very nicely....too bad this contest didn't come up before I put it in my collection. Have fun with this!

    I think this is a very good contest idea. Specific enough to give a judging criteria, but general enough to let lots of people try their hand. I'll be entering.
