It's all about Love

Okay, so... I find myself somewhat bored. and in a romantic mood(no I haven't met anyone, lol) Haven't really felt able to write half decent, I guess my writing edge has left for a bit. But that's okay. I haven't had a lot of time to be on...

But anyways...
I want this to be about love poems. Love for our Lord, any other Christ like Love stuff(if that's what you want to call it), Friendship love, boyfriend/girlfriend love, hubby/wife love... Stuff like that.

Rules:
No EROTICA.. I have this filtered because I DO NOT want to read it, so please... Nothing erotic.. Or Adult. If I find it, it will be D/Q'd sorry guys!
No Bashing the Lord. He's the Love of my life. ANd I dont want to read bashing of Him.
No Sticky Caps or unusual spelling habits.
NO Dirty Pretty. I honestly don't get that form
Please use spell check, although I won't count it against you if I do find an error. I make them more than anyone I know.
Be nice to other poets and myself.
I am allowing prewrites, but I prefer fresh!!

And last but not least
Have loads of FUN! =)
Any questions. I'm a message away!

EDIT:
I Will be adding more HM's as I get points.

Also, this contest is the best I've ever had. The enteries I've received are amazing! Which is going to make the judging process so hard, But I thank you all for entering and look forward to more, if they come!

Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on July 25, 2007
  • Rewards: Gold: 300, Silver: 150, Bronze: 100, Honorable mention: 26 people
  • Final notes:
    Hey Everyone!

    Woah! What an amazing contest! The best I've held! Which has only been 4, but this goes far beyond the other ones.

    I've really enjoyed this. Each poem has touched my heart! And to see how love affects people in different, yet similar ways has been really awesome!

    This contest was EXTREMELY hard to judge. If I could hand out a trophy to all of you, you'd all have one. But I can't, so I've added HM's for everyone I felt deserved to be in the finalist group.
    The first 3 places were even harder than the rest. To pick out the three I liked the best, and know I was leaving more amazing talent behind was really tough. But the first three REALLY touched my heart. So much so, that I can't explain how deeply they touched.

    Thank you all for the beautiful writes. This really has been a pleasure and a heart touching experience.

    Congrats to all of you. You are all winners in my opinion. =)

    God bless and have a wonderful day!
    Always,
    ~ButterflyforChrist~
