I'm looking for two things in this contest:
1.new poets for my favorite list
2.talented youths to adopt
Which is why this contest is for 21 and under.
Of course if you are already on my fave list
it is senseless to enter but I would love it
if you encouraged someone you think I would
like to join.
I manage my fave lists well by trying to keep
up with all their writes whenever I log on.I
give detailed comments and much love.
The three winners of this contest will no only
go on my fave list but will become my AP kids.
I have three real life kids so it works out fine.
I don't know if there is a procedure that I have
to follow to adopt the winners but if there is,I
will follow it so you will be official.
The first place winner will also be presented
with an gold membership if they write on my
favorite subject and the write pleases me that
much.I am a honest person,so if I say something
I mean it.
A bit of a revision here.If there are any poets on
my list that are 21 and under they can enter for
a chance to become one of my AP kids.
Rules:
1.no prewrites at all
2.no erotica,(I'm not fan of this from youth)
3.I'm partial to rhymes but it's not a must
4.no cutting,it can be dark or related to suicide
5.comment on others work and in the author's
notes write the names of the poem and poet you viewed.at least three.This is a requirement.
The form you choose is pretty much optional
but preferences will be given to those than
find a form created by an AP poet and uses it.
the subjects are as follows:
1.there is a list of my AP angels on my page.
choose one and write about them.
2.write about anyone from my fave list.
3.I'm a sucker for a true love poem.write one
4.i don't laugh easily,make me laugh.
5.this two topics will get you brownie points,
pirates and westerns.an extra 50 points if
you mention my favorite old western and my
favorite pirate film.
6.Last,but not least,in poetic form,tell me why I
should adopt you.
Enter two pieces per poet and please enjoy!

Inspired
ive been browsing the contests for a while this evening and felt inspired by your contest. perhaps its the prospect of having someone constantly commenting on my poetry... or maybe the prospect of once again being a gold member. (People viewed my portfolio a lot more when i was gold for a while) Well, i will see what i come up with over the next few days -
Dang, I wanta be one of your AP kiddos...
-
Awwww....now this is a great idea for a contest! I know you'll get a ton of wonderful entries! Good luck with this! I'll be back by later, to see who the very blessed poet is that gets to be adopted by you!

Now I do feel old almost well actually older then a decade above your cut off And here I thought we old folks would get a discount or something well I guess getting old just does not pay LOL! Good Luck to all in the contest!

Looks like a great contest Queenie Anyone you adopt is a lucky person
-
This is a great idea and shows your wonderful heart. The lucky winners will be getting a wonderful person to adopt them. I think this is a great way to touch someone who may really be in need of an inpspiring person in their lives. I will keep my eye out for you. If I see such a person I will send them to your contest. Good-luck and God bless you for your kindness!
-

Good Luck finding new folks to add to your favorites list. I don't qualify for your 21 and under requirement but just though I'd jot a note while I was here.
