Describe an unrequited love's love of another (keep it human please).
Here's the twist: don't include yourself in the poem in any way, shape or form.
Apart from that, there really aren't any rules.
Rules:
1. Check your spelling and grammar
2. No internet slang
3. No StIcKy CaPs
4. No inclusion of yourself in the poem. At all.
5. Stories are allowed as long as they fit and incorporate a poem (and aren't several pages long, I do have a life).
Oh, and another thing. Commenting on other people's poems (or my own) is NOT required and I don't recommend you do so unless you genuinely have something to say. I don't think it's courteous or 'good sportsmanship' to comment on someone else's work just because a contest requires you to do so. Actually, I think it's damned rude!
Have fun and get writing.

Interesting not to discuss this from a first person point of view. Kind of challenging... I'll have to give it a shot! lol.

i will try to enter this soon.
-
Great. Thank you. Barbie. Xx
-
well i fucked up on the rules just a bit, but the "I" in my poem is the camera "eye". oh well.

On re-reading I've realised that I am a thick idiot and that just because you used the word 'me', it doesn't mean that you included yourself in the poem. I actually think that the tone of the piece makes that quite clear. Barbie. Xx

Hey, I've written a poem, I'll put it up when I get home. I had to write it on paper because my little cousins were pressing caps lock all of the time

Lol, okay. Great. Caz. Xx

Lol, thanks, glad someone agrees. Barbie. Xx

You're so sweet. Thank you so much for the silver! I had fun with this contest. It's not easy to write poems without using copious amounts of pronouns and making it all about me me me. I'm so glad you liked it. And congrats to the other winners as well. There was so fantastic poetry in this contest.

You're welcome, and thank you. Barbie. Xx

Aww thanks for the silver! This was fun to do... write for someone else, from a perspective outside of my own. Fun contest, and congrats to the other winners as well. Some great entries in here.

I just realized I posted twice. lmao. So ignore me.
