!!!THIS IS MY FIRST CONTEST!!!
Many categories- HOLOCAUST, SEXUAL HUMOR, LOVE, SADDNESS, & MORE!
~~~~This contest is for many different forms of poetry! As long as they make some sort of story, I absolutely hate the poems that start and end the same and nothing has changed. They just keep moaning on about the same thing! Be creative! Use your imagination, and I mean it! Have fun with it though, It can pretty much be about anything but it should have a begining, middle, and end. I'd like there to be suspense in the poems and I want them build up into a climax and BOOM! ,fantastic ending. I love great vocabulary and phrases in a poem as well and I would like there to be a lot of scensary images, alot of detail.~~~~
Prewrites welcome up to 3 per person. As many origianls as you like. If you can write a poem specifically about one of my topics I will be quite pleased.
These are the topics I would like to see in your poems but aren't necessary if you think I will absolutely LOVE your poem~~~~
1.Anything about the HOLOCAUST, my favorite historical event I just turn to mush and ball my eyes out whenever I read anything about the Holocaust since I read "The Diary of Anne Frank" and, "Alicia; My Story" (great book check them out.) I even wrote a poem about it myself, check it if you want reference (Comment if you want to get on my good side ; ).... ) "Mangled Porcelain Dolls"
2.Make me laugh my ass off!!! Especially with sexual humor I love it! Or making fun of the way society works, I love playing 'Let's stereotype America'. It cracks me up to read society humor.
3.Write something about how you fall in love or how you thought you found love but it tricked you and decieved you into thinking it was love when it wasn't. Perhaps write me something about how you had to sacrifice something that meant alot to you for love. WHAT YOU DID IN THE NAME OF LOVE.
4.Everyone writes about how drugs are so GREAT! well their not! Write about the worst experience (fiction or non) involving drugs and how evil and addictive they can be. (Trust me, I know from personal experience just how dangerous they are.)
5.Write me something really depressing about screwed up families and what went wrong. (Abusive parents, Pedofile step parents, Drunken family members, etc)
***RULES***
1. ONLY 3 PREWRITES PER PERSON ANY MORE AND I WILL THROW THEM AWAY! (Not trying to be harsh just trying to get my point across.)
2.Comment on at least one other contest poem and one of mine for every one poem you submit. And be brutally honest while commenting on my poetry, I can take the critisim(I will be checking) : p (If it comes down to you and another poet to choose between, I'll pick the one with the most comment)
3. No StIcKy CaPs PlEaSe- They are hard to read while dealing with poetry.
4. I don't want any woe-is-me poems. 'Oh I'm going to kill myself, I have nothing to live for, I'm so sad' shit poetry, I really hate it. I'm so sick of it my head might explode if I read one more god damn miserable life sux poem. I used to write them myself, got tired of them real quick. If you are depressed give me a STORY about why you're depressed, don't just tell me your depressed!
5. In the author's comment write "All bow down to the BloodQueen of the underworld" so I'll know you read and understood the rules.

you had said there'd be prewrites...
-

High five on the drug thing. I hate drugs. Theyre dangerous and disgusting. Why does everybody love something like that? No clue but thank god theres someone else out there thats not a stoner.
-
Learn grammar, then you can judge a contest! Poems don't tell stories they relay a point. Perhaps you should ask for short stories instead????
-
I really like your attitude behind this contest. Good luck with it and I hope you get a lot of entries.
-
Good idea, I think I'll go with choice #5 . . . except stalker-esque and creepy
-
You are able to enter prewrites now. I wasn't sure exactly how to do it, like I said this is my first contest. And poetry does rely stories in a summarized way, read some of my poetry and you'll understand the point I'm trying to get acrossed.
-
mrepoet: Poems can too tell stories! Ever heard of a sonnet?!?
Check out my poetry!
I like the anti-drugs thing
I hate seeing poems ard contests like "I'm a pothead, write about how **** good drugs are"
I might come up with something to enter here
-
Thank you! Someone who understands! I'll take a look at your poetry queen, I simply LOVE poetry that tells a story, it's so rythmic and yet so intrigueing!
Yes, yes, DRUGS SUCK! -
this sounds great!!!
CAN I JOIN.. OR WOULD THAT BE CHEATING CAUSE IM YOUR FRIEND? -
No it wouldn't be cheating, everyone's eligable to join!

thwack! the leaf curls up.
roaming the carpet, the ball of fur sees all.
just turned the pot around to straighten
the quick growth towards sunny windows.
the cat smacks the cheeseplant.
the cat smacks the cheeseplant.
i want to smack the cat but just go -
shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
he stares at me to say - what!
i stare back and say - i dare you.
so he does and i go shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
he runs into a back raising pose,
spits sod off at me then stares at leaves.
shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
yeah right is flickering in his eyes.
the cat smacks the cheeseplant.
the cat smacks the cheeseplant.
i want to smack the cat but just go -
crazy off the chair i run across the room
and he legs it behind the recliner.
i am sure he is laughing at me now.
the bastard! the ball of dead meat
when i get a hold of him but then
i just couldn't be bothered so shrug
all the names under the sun at him.
a tin of sardines giggles in the fridge.
i open it up with precision and stuff it
onto a plate - that will teach that i think.
shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
-
I love reading about the Holocaust too. It's my fav. and it makes me cry...
Alicia: My Story is a terrific book too! -
All bow down to the BloodQueen of the underworld....lol....I don't enter many contests, but this one seems like fun. I opted for the love/sacrifice and sex/humour choices. Now I'll pop off and read some other entries, as per your request
-
"All bow down to the BloodQueen of the underworld".....bows down.........i really like the idea of this contest. I haven't won any thing on here, hope i might atleast have a chance for this one. gone to read poem after poem after poem.

Thank you very much for the bronze, you rock!
-
Awesome, way to have a politically respectable contest, my hat is off to all of the great entries.
-

thanks again
