Show Me What You've Got

Okay... Here's the deal... My first contest... So I'm kind of just testing the waters right now... I hope this goes well...

What I want:
Inspire me to write the best poem I have ever written... Make me feel the emotion of your poem like it was my emotion... Paint me a picture with your words... Make me feel something real... I want all of this in one poem...

Rules:
I don't want to restrict your talent and creativity... So there aren't many rules...
*Swearing is cool... Just don't over do it...
*No sTiCkY cApS... tHaT iS tHe mOsT aNnOyInG tHiNg iN tHe wOrLd...
*Check your grammar and spelling... I hate that!!!
*You are welcome to write about anything... But... Be warned that I do not like Erotica or drugs... You can write about it if you want... But you probably won't impress me with it...
*Prewrites are cool... I know how some people write a poem and the first thing they do is post it on here...
*I ask that you submit one poem (two at the most)... It's not fair if one person enters twenty poems into the contest and three other people only enter one each...

Awards:
1st Place: 500 Points
2nd Place: 250 Points
3rd Place: 100 Points

Other than that... Just do your best... I hope to have an awesome turn out for this contest... But it being my first... I doubt a lot of people will enter... Feel free to read my poems... You do not have to... I won't judge based on who commented on my poems the most... I'm looking for the one that impresses me the most...
