Show me something.

This is a pretty simple contest i'd say

I'm not asking for much, but lets go rules first:

Not too much swearing, sometimes there is no point.

No stickey caps, i will kick you just for that...

No slagging off other poetry or poets in the contest.

 

Not a rule but it would be nice to comment on at least one other poem in the contest, obviously i won't be checking this.

 

Two enteries per poet, first gets 600 points, second 200 points, third 100 points and i will give four honorable mentions.

 

Now to what i want, I know right, i should have done this bit first.

 

Emotion, anything, i'm not going to narrow your choices and say no cutting poems or no humor poems, if you want to share your pain go ahead, you want to make me laugh? give it your best shot.

Tell me your happiest time, your lowest point or when you felt most frustrated, but mostly i want you to make me feel exactly how you did, capture it as best you can.

 

That's about it, good luck and i will be reading and commenting on every poem.

 

I reserve the right to remove anything that I see fit. I also have the right to delete the contest if I'm not seeing what I asked for. But let's hope that doesn't happen =D
