Expressive Poetry

This is a poetry contest which will consist of following subjects:

- Depression

- Anger/Frustration

- Emotional (I want to be able to feel the emotions)

- Memories that invoke strong emotions

I want this to be really emotional and very deep. I will give the winners extra points if their work is really good.

Lots of extra points

I am pretty flexible with my taste and I like serveral types of poetry. I don't have favorites and I will judge according to:

- The words you choose to describe emotional feelings

- The storyline

- Grammer

Rules:

- Proper Grammer

- No Erotica

- Mild swearing is allowed. Nothing extreme.

- You may use free write, abstract, and any other type of poetry.

- No bashing...

- Nothing gay



Now get started...

    If I don't end up with enough entries I might allow people to enter a PW. This is just a thought. I'd like to read them before letting them enter. So tell me the name of the poem in the comment section and I'll go and read it. After that, I'll give the "Okay" or the "No way" Good luck!!!

    It doesn't matter how many lines there are in these poems, you can even make them one line, but I just want some complex words and a deep emotional pull to it.

    So you guys don't have to write a hundred words if you don't want to, I just want to feel the emotions

    Again, good luck!!!
