Okay folks this my first contest.
I consider myself to be pretty open minded, so most anything goes.
All I ask is please keep the self abuse and suicide to yourself I do not want to read but that stuff,in fact there is only one way a suicide poem can win and that is if it has a death certificate and obit attached to it. Other than that I am open.
First place gets 400 points
Second place gets 100 points
Third place gets 50 points
I will also give 50 points to the most off the wall entry

2. NoNe Of ThIs I don't like it.
3. Try to keep it clean

5.Comment on at least 3 entries. I am not vain so I wont ask you to comment on any of my stuff.I will comment on all

That one poem, I didnt mean to enter, but yeah...I accidently clicked the wrong poem, so I put the author comment thing anyways.

Re: 5.Comment on all entries
I have so far commented on all the entries but as this is an open contest on any topic and prewrites are allowed and I can pretty much guarantee you will get an awful lot of entries, I'm not sure I am going to be able to comment on them ALL.
My whole time on this site would be dedicated soley to commenting on the poems in this one contest.
Most contests only ask for entrants to leave critiques on 2 or 3 of the other poems, after that it is left to their discretion to comment on any others.

Sonnets Bless Haiku
Poetry is beauty that moves in graceful flow,
Bold formed words they swim quickly by,
Sonnets bless Haiku with a Villanelle glow.
Free verse wanders past the green light of go
While Limericks throw humour out to a sigh,
Poetry is beauty that moves in graceful flow.
Iambic steps forward with thoughts of I know
How to use syllables dropped from the sky,
Sonnets bless Haiku with a Villanelle glow.
Lyrical literature laughs language into a bow,
Prose nods agreement saying poems will not die,
Poetry is beauty that moves in graceful flow.
Cinquain relaxes gently upon perfumed throw
As she closes her lids she begins to cry,
Sonnets bless Haiku with a Villanelle glow.
Rythmic gymnastics perform - breathe and blow.
Life dreaming inside the waves of an eye.
Poetry is beauty that moves in graceful flow.
Sonnets bless Haiku with a Villanelle glow.
