Alright, I've been in an uber poetic mood lately, and that's what I feel like reading for the next *insert however long it'll take to read through it all* days/weeks.
I'm not very strict when it comes to what I want to read. I have nothing against gay/lesbian poetry or anything (specifying because some contests don't take it), so feel free to post it. The only thing I don't want to read, however, is Erotica. I'm not a fan of it, and doubt I'll become one in the future. Mmkay? X3
Rules The infamous rules list. I'll keep it as short as possible ;3
1. nO tYpinG lYKe dIs.
2. One word. GRAMMAR. I don't care if you have a few mistakes here and there, but I don't want to read a poem full of grammatical errors.
3. No Erotica. 'Nuff said.
4. 3 is the Max. amout of stories per person, mmkay?
Alrighty, that's all I have for the mo'! I might add more points later, but that's something only time shall tell x3

Is a prose poem acceptable?
-
-
All types of poetry are acceptable :3
-
-
... it broke! I'm so sorry! I hope that stupid thing goes away quickly. >.<

-
Huh? What broke? D:

I forgot to title my entry at first, and when I hit "back" to title it, I discovered it had made two entries on the contest. One with a hideously glitched "title". Since I know contest entries appear on the owner's messages I thought you'd see it. It refused to be deleted at first, but it's gone now, thankfully. x.x I was like, argh, I broke the contest!
-
-
Oh! Lawl, I had no glitches, so I really don't think you broke anything. Plus, if you deleted it, then there's no harm done <3
-
-
... Er...
My entry was a poem. It's a prose poem. That's why I specifically asked if prose poetry was acceptable before I entered. If you didn't want prose poetry, it would have been really nice if you'd just answered "no" to my initial question.

there is a sight conencted to this that is for poetry. it is called allpoetry.com if you have an account on storywrite you sutomatically have an account on allpoetry under the same screen name and password. If you want poetry you should go there.

Except that there's lots and lots and lots of poetry contests here, too. Do you say this to everyone who runs a poetry contest on SW? I can see your point, but, honestly, I think it's a lost cause. The habit is too firmly established.

i have a poem that is about molestation. I put it under abuse and im not sure if since it is about molestation if you count that as erotica. some people have said that anything with molestation or abuse is concidered "erotica" but it isnt something that is meant in a nasty or perverted way. its more about the pain it caused. is it okay to enter this one or will it be DQ'd?
oops... nevermind. i just realized you dont take prewrites. sorry -
-
Lawl, it's alright.
Anyway, as long as you don't go into severe detail, I don't count it as erotica.
