For all your lonely hearts out there!
This contest is for all you lonely people out there! I want you to write a lonely hearts advert in the form of a poem. A lonely hearts advert is when some writes a little ad that gives a little about what they look like (slim build, athletic etc
), who they are (an accountant for example) and what they seek to have (an open relationship, a friend for lunches etc).
Your lonely hearts ad poem can be a complete caricature - this doesn't have to be based on you! You can make your lonely heart as grotesque or as sweet as you want! You can make them funny or you can make them sad...
You could be spiderman looking for his superwoman, or Frankenstein looking for his very own Mary Poppins. You could make your own Bridget Jones themed lonely hearts ad! There are so many possibilities! Make what you want out of it 
... It's all in your hands!
THE UNDER 10 COMMANDMENTS!
1. One entry per person. No prewrites (for once) and 20 entries
2. No sTiCkY cApS
3. Swearing where appropriate is allowed but strictly no erotica. Adult themed ones will be allowed.
4. You MUST use spell check before you post your poem.
5. Poems only sorry - no stories, lyrics etc.
6. 20 lines maximum. I will not consider entries longer than that
7. Comment on at least on one other persons entry in the contest (a proper critique not just Good Job whatever.. ) and say who you commented on in your Authors Comments.
8. Comment on one of my poems and say which one in the Authors comments.
9. If you don't follow ALL the above rules your entry will be disqualified!
10. Ok... maybe I will have 10 commandments after all.... HAVE FUN and make the most out of your imagination
How will this be judged, woman?!
As always, this contest will loosely use this judging system:
www.allpoetry.com/Column/446864
Main factors :
1. Humour
2. Originality
3. Ability to provoke emotions.
I don't do favorite judging ... I judge on the best poem! My fiance and I will decide the winners!
Pets win Prizes :
1st 300 points
2nd shiny trophy
3rd shiny trophy
Donations
Any donations to this contest will be used to make up 2nd and 3rd prizes. If you want to offer a number of critiques as a prize, these are welcome to! Just IM me (remember to include the name of the contest) and I'm sure we can work something out!
Good luck and have fun!!!

Hey, this is a wonderful idea for a contest! I have a group on here called "Lonely Hearts Club", targeted specifically for those whon carry burdens of sorrow and disappointment in their heart, and are endlessly searching for their one true soulmate--or at least, a compatible companion to share the ups and downs with. Your contest also reminds me a lot of the contest I held called True Meaning of Love--where I had guys writing to me in the same format that you are asking for!
I don't know if I'd want to make an advertisement for myself, lol, don't want to look too desperate 
although your contest, I must admit, sounds like a lot of fun! If I can get writer's block to get the hell out of my way, I'll try to get in an entry!
Many blessings,
Raven Aurora
