lately I've been reading stuff that really doesn't have a real tone or mood. I like to be able to understand exactly what someone was feeling when they wrote something. OR even understand a little where they come from.
To me some poetry today is really shallow. I don't mean short I mean shallow. I like poetry that has more than just one meaning. Poetry that makes you think. Like "man, whoa...Wow." Any type of poetry scary, funny, creepy, sad, War, reflective anything. But I like to be able to say to myself. "This person actually tried and put their heart in it" I want your stuff soaked with your blood! Maybe that's too weird, but you get my point. Anything and everything baby!
Awo-Awooooo!
oh note if you see a little number. that is something to help me on judging. No it is not binary. the code is secret

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on January 19
- Rewards: Gold: 200, Silver: 175, Bronze: 100
- Final notes: Wow you guys this was one of the best contest i've ever seen. Over fifty entries. omg! Like i'm sorry that i could not give out more prizes. I will say that I tried to be fair and think out side the box. These were nothing short of amazing. Thanx you all for entering. If i didn't leave a comment it's because i couldn't think of anything to say. I hope anyone who didn't become a finalist will enter Deep Waters part two. this was m-azing. And i don't say that lightly. I will also say that this was sort of bias. What you consider to be deep and meaningful might be different than me. I am sorry that our opinions differ. But again thank you for your hard work. Please continue to write.
Awo-Awooooooo!
