Hi everyone! Before I get started everyone should go look around SparklingGarbage8's account. She has submitted to so many of the contests, won quite a few, and is such a good writer. <3
This was by far the most diverse in subjects for the poetry contest. I received poems on love, life, nature and many more.
1st place will receive: 15 votes, 5 comments and a follow
2nd and 3rd place will receive: 10 votes, 3 comments and a follow
Winners please contact me to tell me which books you would like the votes and comments on.
Here are some of my other favorite poets from this contest:
Gurlbythecorner, ToLiveIsToLife, TheVampireLuna, SuperStar_JJ
3rd Place: Hailstorm_2004
"As the tree caught fire
I felt my hope disappear
The blaze of red and gold
The once blazing tree
Now reduced to dark ashes
A saddening sight"
2nd Place: allyzdfghjkl
"I knew I loved you
The moment I laid my eyes
On yours, dead and blue.
Eyes that saw the light
Grew tired of searching for stars
On a dark, dead night."
1st Place: KitchenofFruit
"Little hands, youthful
A version in miniature
Laughing and joyful
Wrinkled, calloused hands
Worn in through experience
Both rough and gentle"
Congrats to the winners and everyone else who submitted!
I won't be putting out another contest for a week and half because I'm sick, and I'm going away for a trip. But expect a contest after I get back.
