Good Poetry: ENTER HERE

I know there are a lot of poetry contests out there at the moment, but I have points to be rid of and I want to read poems.. because I like poetry.

If you enter a poem about depression, cutting, teenage disasters you will AUTOMATICALLY be DQed. I don't like DQing people, but I WILL NOT read any of those kinds of poems simply because they're overdone too much and they bore me. I'm sick of them.

It can be as long as you like, but please don't make it thousands of words... long poetry is boring.

There really aren't any rules... but I will be judging on quality of content, ability to write LEGIBLY (i.e. NOne of ThIS.. not that anyone does that, but you never know), and flow of the piece.

I LOVE rhyming poetry but it doesn't HAVE to rhyme.

Have fun and good luck =]
