Sooo..my life feels like a silly love song. Not only one of hope, but one with anguish thrown in - one of great difficulty. :/ Love comes not without its price. So, basically in this contest, I have a few different options. You can either write about:
1-Giddy love! You know, when you first fall in love and it's pure bliss
2-Forever love. You married couples out there - this is for you. Can be either bliss, reality, or how much it sucks. You pick
3-Scorn. I wanna know how a lover scorned you. BUT - for this option, you must also write of the good times before the bad. Examples: allpoetry.com/Poem/583132 or allpoetry.com/Poem/564699
4-Love with a soldier. Any branch (though I'm particularly fond of Navy)
5-Puppy dog love. The kind you feel as a child. Yah know, when you pass the note that says, "Will you be my gf? Circle one..yes or no". (Yeah, I'm a huge country fan).
6-I wanna know EXACTLY how it felt for you to fall in love. You can include falling out of love at the end if you prefer.
7-Deciding between lovers
8-Online love - the happiness, troubles, and meeting, etc.
So basically, even if you write of heartbreak, I want the happiness too.
The RULES: dun dun duuuun
1-Erotica is fine! Doesn't really fit, but, eh, I might like it
2-NO PREWRITES!
3-You absolutely must put the number your choosing in your author comments box
4-No cussing. For gosh sake, it doesn't fit the contest
5-No StIcKy CaPs - it's annoying as hell
edit6-Comment on one of my poems
This isn't mandatory, buuut, very highly suggested
7-This is THE most important rule. I AM THE JUDGE! I chose WHICHEVER poem I like the best. Hell, I don't care if it breaks every rule, and it about the grass - if I like it, and want it to win, it will be so. No whining - I hold the power. Aight? Good. Lets get at it then!!
Oh - points will be as determined by how many I have at the end of the contest. First defiantly gets 500, I'm guessing 2nd will get around 200-250, and third 75-150. Thanks!
EDIT I'll also promote the winners poem for a week!

Wow, what a fun sounding contest. my experience with love runs along the lines of Jeff Buckey's song: Love is not a victory march, it's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah.

I hope you get lots of entries , as this sounds like a LOVE-ly contest . You most certainly have given enough choices to pick from , unfortunately i think my muse has deserted me abit at this time , and speaking of time ...I do not have alot of that as of late either
Enjoy all the entries though

You are so funny mendee. I love the way you included rule #7. Good luck judges your entries.

since prewrites aren't aloud
I thought I'd post one here for you guys to read in your spare time. It's a love song, heehee, with a ghetto humor emo twist. Maybe. I dunno. Check it out --> allpoetry.com/Poem/805563 <--

Yeah, just so you guys know I AM getting to judging this! First I have to make sure I read EVERY entry (made a whoopsy last contest and forgot one - NOT INTENTIONALLY!). So I need to get through them, re-read them, then decide. I'm about to start college, and I've got 2 jobs, but I'm trying guys! Promise it'll be done before next weekend! Not like you have much of a choice but waiting, but I thought I'd be the kind judge and let you in! Thanks for all the great entries!

mendee86, thank you for considering my poem, 'Our Lives' worthy of the Bronze... I am so very honored to have been able to participate in this great contest with all these fine poets. Each one was an interesting and/or lovely read. Thank you so much for hosting it.
Good wishes in finding your own love to be a wonderful and lasting one...
My regards,
Serenem~Melinda
