Right, this is my first contest
I would like to see the poem you consider
is the best one you have written.
I will allow pre-writes but only one per poet
one entry only per poet.
I will close it after 40 entries as I don't want to be innundated with 100's of entries. (I ALREADY HAVE 35 POEMS SO I WILL ALLOW 50, THEN I WILL CLOSE IT..WOW..IT'S ONLY BEEN GOING A FEW HOURS-JENNI
I HAVE 51 ENTRIES NOW...THIS CONTEST IS CLOSED....NO MORE ENTRIES PLEASE
1st-300 points
2nd-100 points
3rd-50 points
plus there will be honourable mentions
I only understand
Rhyming
Freeflow
Acrostics
Short stories are ok
no other style will be accepted, it's not fair on the poet if I can't understand their poem.
Spelling is very important to me, so please make sure you have no spelling errors. No chat room talk like cu gr8 etc
absolutely no swearing, NO MORE CUTTING ONES PLEASE, that's one I forgot to put, but will allow the ones already entered.
erotica is fine as long as it is done discreetly
Ok that's all the rules
Just have fun and enjoy it

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on September 4, 2004
- Rewards: Gold: 300
- Final notes: This contest was harder to judge than I thought, I have sat here for hours going over all the entries, if I offended anyone I am sorry, it was unintentional. There are so many wonderful entries. I had to keep reading and eliminating some, as hard as it is I wish I had more trophies. Thank you all foe entering my first contest, we all learn as we go. One thing I want to say is that there is not one poet here that I know, some I have come across their poem in other contests, but that's all,at least I will judge them on their merits.
1st-Full seduction-Love and Lust-by ladycalin
2nd-My name is Neema-by D P Robertson
3rd-Extra Sensory Passion-by surfergirl
These are the three that I kept coming back to for they are the ones that affected me the most.

Sherry, it was MyDarkness I was sending it tom , if I sent it to you I apologize, they entered two poems, but had deleted one and I told them to put that in their Author comment so other contestants would not think thay'd adde 2 poems when the rule said only one..no my sweet you've done nothing wrong, there was nothing to put in your comment box, sorry if I confused you, I hope it's cleared up now Jenni

Jennifer, I am very sure that amidst everyones best poems, it is very difficult to pick 3 top winners. You did a great job. I feel honored to be in the top ten, thank you very much. Thank you for the mention and the points.

Thank you, this means a great deal to me. My name is Neema is about a young African girl who reflects the horror of her enviroment and cultural heritage. It has been entered into 15 comps and quite frankly it does not make for easy reading. It has certainly never placed before. It will not be entered into any other comp after this now that it has placed. However the subject matter is, I believe an important one and from a human rights perpective, one that breaks my heart. I really appreciate the opportunity to enter it, I think the comp was great and brought out some brilliant entries. Congrats to all the other winners, thank you to all those who have not only commented on Neema in this comp but since it was first posted. It obviously touched alot of people and if the aim of the writer is to not only create but to move the reader then I am flattered and touched by the response.
Thank you again for running such a great comp and for recognising this piece in among so many great works.
