You are in Never's zone!
*****NOTE: Preliminary finalists ARE NOT confirmed. The only and I mean ONLY second you'll know who has what place before the contest ends is the second I hit 'judge contest'
For this contest, all I want from you is your best write. No limits - no restrictions.
There are just a few guidelines and rules - guidelines will tell you how you can win me over - and rules, they'll make the judging of this contest easier.
[ && and no, you do not have to put ridiculous phrases in your author's notes ]

Guidelines:
- Love poems give me diabetes. I hate getting sick. And when I hate something - I tend to ignore it [especially when judging]
- It doesn't matter to me whether you believe in God or not. It doesn't matter what I believe in either. All that matters is that you do not give me ANY religious writes. Don't even mention God, nor an "all-knowing He."
- Be creative. Be original. Be unique. I hate cliche and overused phrases.
- No forced rhyme. No rambling of words -that's called a rant, not a poem. If you rhyme, be good. If you do it freely, be amazing.

Rules [not really] :
- No whining. If your poem sucks - I will let you know [politely].
- Bashing = Instant Disqualification.
- Curse all you want. I can't care less.
-*********** If your poem does not stand a chance of winning - I will remove it. You may enter again.

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on October 29, 2007
- Rewards: Gold: 500, Silver: 300, Bronze: 150, Honorable mention: 7 people
- Final notes: Well now...
First of all, congratulations to everyone and thank you for participating. You may have to ignore my language but thank you for making my life so miserable when judging. Gold, silver, bronze and first honorable mention gave me a very very tough time ... And the rest of the honorable mentions? in no order whatsoever [easier that way]
As most judges say [and none of them mean] I wish I could have given a gold to everyone. Though that is not true...
As one of my friends would say, Gold is Gold and therefore that is why it is gold.
I hope you can participate in my upcoming contest.
Never ♥

You said, "I can't care less."
GENIUS. The more common (improper) way annoys me. -
-
:S
what's the more common way? -
-
I could care less.
I suppose it's meant to be said with sarcasm, but it never is. -
-
That. would be utterly boring.

Hmmm I don't think you are actually allowed to make people comment on others poetry as a rule... people holding contests have been warned about this before, including myself... just a heads up
-
-
It's not really a rule. It's optional.
You don't have to. And if you don't, it wont affect my judging. However - if this contest does nothing to promote him, I don't want to judge such a contest. -
Thanks though.. I should mention that.
-
-
trying to pick my best...lol...I cant pick my "best" because I think all are flawed
Soooo I'll pick one I like and hope you like it too 
-

Don't talk nonsense...
your writes are nothing less than brilliant!
all of them!
