Poetry!!!!

I'm bored so I'm gonna have another poetry contest. For anyone who did mine in the past its along the same lines. Give me poetry, I like origionlity, descriptions, good pace. Poetry does not have to rhyme, just not choppy okay. You can enter up to five this time, but please put your username in the a/n if you plan on entering more so I don't end up giving people dubble tropheis like I have in the past.
Rules
1) Grammar and spelling must be at least half decent, I don't care about a few minor mistakes but nothing horable.
2) Chat speak and sticky caps will get you DQ (I've never seen sticky caps but I have seen a lot of chat speak).
3) No abuse, erotica, or sucide poetry please. I'm finnally in a good mood.
4) Please try and keep it under 300 words, I tend to get bored if its too long.

Have fun!
POINTS WILL GO UP!!!

Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on June 5
  • Rewards: Gold: 550, Silver: 250, Bronze: 100, Honorable mention: 6 people
  • Final notes:
    I got more entries then I exspected, in fact this is the most entries I've had in any of my contests. I also can honestly say that a few of the entries into this contest were beyond my expectations but a few were under. I feel I must explain my choices with so many wonderful entries.

    GOLD 'The Fallen's Eden' This was not simply a poem but a song. The song contained thought in both theme and word choice. The use of latin only proved how much time and effort was put into it. (I recomend the 'for the latin challenged' version linked to in the A/N myself).

    Silver 'Flaxen Coup' It is rare that I read a poem that uses such wonderful vocabulary and imagery but still manages to keep an even, not choppy pace and feel. It may seem a little repetative at times but its form makes up for that small flaw.

    Bronze 'Primal Urge' In many ways this poem caught my attention for many of the same reasons as the listed above. I struggled between wether to put this as bronze or silver and still I wonder if it was the right choice. This had such a wonderful theme and meaning.

    The honorables were in no order and were all wonderfully done.

    Thank you to all who entered and congrats to the winners. There were a lot of entries to sort through but it was deffenetly worth the time and points. Points did go up from 250 to 900 mostly all earned on my commening for the contest.

    Sorry to ramble.
    Thank you for partisipating.

      Yep there's a reason I said it can't be horrible, I'm not one to talk. I know how to use spell and grammar check very well.

    It has to be under the word limit regardless of how many stanzas are in it.

    I can understand what I'm writing just fine. The word looks right to me but it is not right according to the proper spelling. As for the small mistakes made in the rules of the contest that was because my brother was yelling at me to get the hell off the computer while I was trying to write.

    Yes I understand why the currection has t obe made. I can see the currect word when I look at it but I can't get the right letters out of my mind. I make far fewer mistakes now then I did a year ago because I am capable of remembering what currection the spell checker made when I look at it as it is fixed.
