Memories

OK everyone this is my first contest so bare with me!

Ok so this can be any memory you may have. It can be happy, sad, whatever just make me feel the emotion. Please try and not just submit something last minute. This can be like when you were a kid or just the other day. Please write about real memories. Ok one last big thing.........HAVE FUN!

Rules:
1)Nothing adult
2)If your poem must have a swear word or 2 its alright (it wont get brownie points or anything) anything more than that you will be disqualified.
3)Do not be rude to other competitors
4) only 3 entries per person (no more!)
5) Please watch your spelling. If there is a little mistake don't worry about it I'm not that picky.

The last thing i ask is not necessary but I would like you to comment on others work, just to promote good sportsmanship

1st Place: 350
2nd Place: 100
3rd Place: 50

It may take a while but I will comment on everyone's. If you have any questions just im me on ap. THANKS for entering!

By the way if you can't think of anything (most of you obviously have lol) go to my authors page and look at growing up it may give you an idea.

Everyone loves the love and lost poems...but uhhh I'm getting a lot. So only enter your absolute favorite if they are that type. Try something new and different..be unique!

UPDATE: umm...ok I had to extend the contest for a few more days. Sorry! There are so many entries that it is hard to read through them all!

Ok so the contest is going to close tonight. I need a week or so to judge all these entries. They are so many, and all great. I won't be able to access the computer everyday this week to do it so please give me time. sorries!

    does it have to be a poem? when writing about memories i find prose much more fluid and an overall better medium for me. i will enter anyway even if it does have to be a poem.

    I once wrote a poem about my memories symbolizing it all with a quilt. I hardly remember it as it was a long time ago, but that was the first time I ever realized my writing ambitions.

    I have since lost that poem...

    Anyways, this sounds like a neat contest, perhaps I could throw together a new version of my first poem I ever wrote.

    Hope you have fun with this contest, and good luck!!

    OK, with this many entries already, I feel I should ask for forgiveness to adding to the list, but I couldn't resist. This is a great contest idea. Thanks for hosting, I hope you don't collapse from sheer exhaustion, but if you do; we'll remember you.
