prewrites & critiques

I'm in the mood to comment. Enter anything you'd like that's of a reasonable length and you'll get a comment. The catch is that it will be a blunt, honest, and perhaps brutal critique; if you cannot handle negative comments on your work, do not enter. I don't tolerate whining from people who only want senseless praise and throw fits when they don't get it.

I may be mean. No, I don't like to pick on people, but if your "poetry" isn't up to standard and I don't like it, I'm going to tell you so. If you want to be a writer, you'll need to know how to take all kinds of comments, even negative ones. Whining is not welcome here.

Points may increase if the entries are good, and the judging may be delayed until I find a worthy poem for the gold. This is NOT the contest for you if you're looking for an easy trophy. Let's face it: 99.9% of the "poetry" on this site either sucks or is just average, and I don't reward mediocrity with anything other than a slap on the wrist and a critique.

    Your invitation to enter this contest reminds me of what I believe used to be a recruiting slogan for the US Marines: "You aren't good enough for the Marines!"
    It's great that you have got 110 entries.
