This contest is open to anyone that wants to earn some points.
I'm at a little bit of a standstill with my writing so I need to feel inspired!
Each person is allowed a max of 4 entries, pre-writes are allowed, but I wouldn't mind seeing some new poems thrown in there!
I like to be able to visualize scenes so imagery is always a plus!
I like rhyming but it is not necessary.
Pour your emotions and thoughts into your piece.
You can write about anything, just make me feel something when I'm reading it.
I can cancel this if i do not get participation.
*edit*
Ok, so I had more participation than I anticipated! Thank you all!
Soooo.. I'm going to cut off entries at 216, that way everyone will get to enter 4 poems. (Supposedly) Annnd, that way everyone will have a better chance at actually having their poem being read thoroughly.
Rules:
1. No Sticky-caps
2. No erotica or dirty pretty
3. Please! Keep swearing to a minimum, to me it just makes you look like you aren't smart enough to find the correct words to express yourself.
4. No cutting yourself or emo, I really can't stand it.
5. Please make sure you spell things correctly, I tend to be a little OCD about that. The only exception is if it is what makes the poem or is your style. Please let me know if this is the case.

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on December 16, 2008
- Rewards: Gold: 400, Silver: 100, Bronze: 60, Honorable mention: 2 people
- Final notes: I want to thank you all for entering in this contest; I never expected the great turn out I recieved! At first I thought I would only get about ten poems, and I was amazed to find in the first couple of minutes that I recieved over 50 entries! ThenDestinyStruck and I tried our best to comment on every poem. There was, however, one poem that I was not able to comment on- I do not know why, and for that, I sincerely apologize.
I do not believe there was a single poem I disliked and I wanted to extend the amount of poems I could give awards to but I restrained myself.
Once again, thank you all!

Tell me something I've often wondered about; what exactly do people mean when they say 'Dirty Pretty'?
Nice contest. -
-
Honestly, I've never been exactly sure, but i take it to mean nothing too sensual and erotic. I don't like reading about people making love. If anything it just makes me feel awkward.

Ok, now that I know what it is, I still don't want dirty pretty. Thanks for the info!
