What to Submit?
1 original, poem about an emotion/act! To better explain please go to my page an read "Diamond Tear Drop" I am explaining the journey of a tear from the moment it leaves my eyes until the journey is over! I do not want to hear why like I did not explain why I was hurt or crying I don't want that! Just the act/emotion itself! Now I was going to say free verse only but I want new members to have a go too so I left the form open ....I will say free verse or rhyme is gonna catch my attention quicker but does don't determine the winner! I DO NOT WANT IT LONGER THAN 20 lines in length and MUST BE AT LEAST 14 LINES LONG! Sorry I wasn't yelling just so everyone knows the lines need to be certain length! That will be the first thing I cut will be if lines are longer or shorter than I said! Sorry again but people this is what I want please abide by the rules as I said if it's longer or shorter I will cut it without reading it just so all know!
