"Felt" poetry. ONLY

I don't care about your form.
I don't care about your anything but the feeling.

Now, that said; I want it expressed in a poetic way.

Not just:

I feel blue.
My shoe
Is untied
I think I just died.

You know, I really am sorry for your shoe. But It doesn't belong in my poetry contest, mmkay?

Thanks for dropping by.

Enter up to three.
Only one can be a pre-write.

And I WILL check.

      Yep, it's going to be interesting reading Danielle's bitchy comments about how many people really will write poetry that poorly. This certainly will be an interesting contest, with a lot of bad entries. Perhaps you will be awesome and excite Danielle with a good entry?

    Let the barrage of emo, amateur poets using poetry as a placebo begin.

    I'm sorry Danielle, you're going to read a lot of baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad poetry.

    Or you can throw your hands in the air and either let Amunet judge it for you, or remove enough entries to get four entries and then remove the contest?

    Until then, I must enjoy this show. =) *sits down*

    ... You are an outstanding poet; I loved your poem at the top (short, succinct):
    I feel blue.
    My shoe
    Is untied
    I think I just died.

    I will continue this if I feel justice is paid.

    My eye
    Just let
    A tear
    On a fly.

    Tye fly
    Is drowning
    In a cup
    I think it's giving a hiccup

    The fly
    Is dead
    And we're both ahead
    Looking

    Lost and lonely
    With no-one else
    The fly, (and me)
    Are dead:

    In the afte-er-life.
