Hi I'm Laura.. I'm 16 from England and this is my first contest by the way, as every seems to tell if it is or not.. but because its my first doesn't mean you can mess me around OK! lol
~*~ ~*~ ~*~
The thing I'm looking for in my first contest here is poems to do with the moon..
* How it shines through the clouds at night, how enchanting she looks etc etc... i want alot of imagery so make me see and feel what you are seeing/thinking..
* I like darker poems so yea if you can go from there then you have a good chance in winning.
* I do like rhyming poems but non rhyming poems are good if they flow, or if they are just mind blowingly good.. but the rhyming poems better not be pathetic rhyming like ''there was a cat, and a bat'' that's just primary school rhyming...
* It can be about even mystical creatures coming out into the moonlight like for example unicorns... for it'll be kool if you can do something like that, then you have a good chance in winning too.
~*~ ~*~ ~*~
I have a poem that would be helpful for you to read, as its about the moon and unicorns and has lots of imagery called 'The Unicorns' Serenade To The Moon' Heres a link to it allpoetry.com/Poem/1881262
~*~ ~*~ ~*~
Now i have given you enough hints and examples so get writing!
Well i suppose i need to lay out some rules so:
1. swearing is ok but not so much its just like every word.. i don't see why you need to swear for the options but you never know..
2. every one hates ''sticky caps'' but if you want to do them then go ahead.. i don't really mind to be honest
3. it has to be about the moon.. (obviously)
4. prewrites are allowed but IT MUST be to do with the moon, if its not then i will DQ it.. (not to be mean but Ive clearly said it has to be to do with the moon)
well thats it! (thanks for reading the rules!)
~*~ ~*~ ~*~
EvolutionGoneWrong (aka UB .. will be helping to judge the contest, and we will try to give out extra points to HM's but no promises.. depending on how our points are going.
~*~ ~*~ ~*~

2nd prize a silver trophy (if i can work out how to give them out)
3rd prize a bronze trophy (if i can work out how to give them out)
