21 reasons not to kill oneself!
CONTEST : OK The scenario is simple. I want you to write a poem about hope and inspiration. I want poems that will give reason to why it's great to live and breath the air around us. I want uplifting, not suicidal. I want happy not sad. I want joy not pain. I want happy tears! I think you know the score now
Why 21 reasons? You don't have to include 21 reasons. I named the contest such because I am only going to allow 21 entries.
Rules :
1. On topic prewrites allowed. Please don't submit something that is kinda what I'm looking for. I'm accepting 21 entries, please don't hog a place with something not on topic.
2. ONE entry per person only.
3. No cutting / suicide hopes. This is meant be a hopeful contest.
4. No erotica or such. It's so inappropriate in this contest.
5. No StIcKy CaPs or poems in ENTIRE CAPS. It doesn't make sense to write poems like this! It just annoys people and make them think less of you as a poet. Sad but true my friends.
6. Comment on one persons entry in this contest and state which poem and author in the AUTHORS COMMENTS of your poem. Please don't post it on my authors page or on the contest page.
7. Comment on any one of my poems and state which poem in the Authors Comments only, nowhere else please.
8. Poems only. Please limit foul language, if any at all. I don't think it's necessary in this contest!
9. Please follow all the above rules otherwise I won't read your poem or comment it. Sorry for being harsh, but it really doesn't take long to follow them.
I can't hold contest places for people I'm afraid. Sometimes I have a break from AP and don't have time to read comments posted until it's too late
Prizes:
1st 300 points + Shiny Trophy
2nd Any Donated Points + Shiny Trophy
3rd Any Donated Points + Shiny Trophy
Honourable mentions x 3 (10 points each)
Good luck and have fun with this contest

Thank you so much for entering and I'm sorry for not holding a place for you in my Acrostics contest. I took a break from AP and didn't notice your post.
I'm needing a lot of hope at the moment so hopefully this contest will cheer myself up
Take care

An excellent idea for a contest, because I'm certainly sick of "woe-is-me I'll kill myself" poetry at the moment. I'll enter if I can get it in in time =)

Thank you
I liked this contest a lot. It's refreshing. I am sick of all those "I hate myself and like blood" poems. -
Please judge this ASAP, it has been closed for close to 3 weeks now. Thanks.
