I want to give away some points, as I have a fair amount of points floating around the site at the moment. But first, I want to know how good your writes are. This new system wont let me take back points, but it will let me put in points :)
What I want you to do is enter your best prewrite. This can be either in your opinion, the poem that you got the most applauses/comments on, or whatever. Just enter one poem that you believe is your best. The way I will decide if your poem is sensational is that if you write a dark poem, but I don't really feel any morbidness, hidden depths and such, then it's not really doing what it set out to do.
This is why I would like you - you don't have to, but it would help me a lot - put what kind of effect and/or topic you are relating to in your piece. It may be obvious, but the ideas behind it may not be. Also, some poetry is very abstract and showered with metaphors and personifications and therefore it is not always so easy to analyse the contents.
Only rules are as follows:
1. Only ONE entry per person. I have set this to a default anyway.
2. Only enter PREWRITES - This makes a change from everyone expecting fresh writes, but this is because I want your best. Your best obviously can't be a write you haven't revised yet, or got comments on etc... This is why.
3. Any genre, any length. Though if your poem is any longer than 150 lines then it better be really good, otherwise I'll get bored. I don't have ADHD but I do have a limit of how many words and opinions I can take in at a time.
Most of all, I want you to have fun. Be yourself, submit your best write! If you can't think of which is your best write, submit the one that represents you the most, or your style of writing, or something you really want the world to know/see/hear etc.
Just sit back and let me enjoy your words.
<* If words are our knight, and ink our maiden - then the pen is our castle and the rhyme is the dragon*>

YES!!! to prewrites!
I am so glad that someone else sees the importance of pre-writes. One thing I dislike about Allpoetry is the brief time that competitions are open. Although sometimes one can write a poem that is "perfect" first time, one still needs to consider it over many many weeks to make sure that it really IS the best it can possibly be. (Though I would maintain that this should ideally be done BEFORE exposing it to the comments of other people!)
Therefore, apart from a few pieces of vers d'occasion, I do not write specially for allpoetry competitions. If there is something suitable for a competition in my archives, I put it in... If not, I do not enter.

You haven't even viewed or commented half the entries!
