2. this has to be a real event that has happened to you or to someone very close. you have to have been emotionally changed because of it

other stuff:
i'm gonna try to comment on everybody's poetry. if i miss you by some chance, please let me know because i think everybody deserves recognition.
this is your chance to pour out your souls without having to worry about protecting anyone. enter as many as you like, but you MUST write something original if you are going to enter a prewrite, otherwise i'll kick the prewrite out. i'll still read it, but i won't include it in the judging.
i'm trying to keep this contest running for quite a while so don't be offended if you don't hear from me soon because i WILL comment at some point before i judge the damn thing. good luck to everyone!

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on December 7, 2007
- Rewards: Gold: 300, Silver: 150, Bronze: 75
- Final notes: Firstly, allow me to take this time to aplogogise to all entrants for the lateness of this contests judgement.
I reviewed each and every piece, but sadly i did not comment on all of them, those of you who are still seeking comments please contact the host directly, i'm sure she'll accomodate you
I chose the winners based on those that impressed me most and i found it disappointing, that so many went against the host's rules.
Cheers to the winners, commiserations to the losers, and sorry once again.
