Poets/Storywriters 16 and Under.

Here is what I want:

I want a POEM that tells a story. But not just any story, a good story in poem form. That has emotion, and that keeps me: a 14 year old partly depressed boy in tune with it. Keep in mind I am open minded and it does not HAVE to appeal to me, but it would be appreciated.

1-500 words, No longer (give or take a FEW), No less...
Children, Please, you might still be under the erotic content filter, just as I am. None of that stuff.
Keep swearing tasteful.
Prewrites allowed.
Does not have to rhyme.

A few more things before I let you get writing:
If you enter a poem that is horribly misspelled and no organization, I will leave a nasty comment about it. I understand maybe you do not know how, but if you do, please, take your time.

Note: My first contest, bear with me.

    okaie dokaie!

    so basicly you want a short story/quick read, that some how relates to a person in your situation? (depressed-ish 14 yr old guy?) Just clarifying here...

    Um is it okay if the character is 16? and can it be a chapter from a 5 part story? (well eventually a five part story...when i get around to it...)

      Partly

      Here's what I had in mind, it IS a poem, but the poem tells a story. Something like my poem: http://storywrite.com/story/177150

      The contest is for 14 year old writers/poets or younger. Characters that are 16 are fine.

      It can have any topic, but I'd probably be more appealed if it was a sad poem.

      Thank you good question
