ok, the topics you may choose from are either; friendship or romance...
sorry, but it hs to do with this guild is about, friendship and romance.
It starts now, and will not end for a month. It will end July 16th. Each member is only allowed to subit two entries, no more. but submitting two does not mean you are certain to win, I may choose someone who's only submitted one. I will be recording how many times you've posted.

So you're probably wondering, "what's the prize?" Well, first place receives 1,000g as second place recieves 500g and third is 300g.

I must warn you, though it ends July 16th, I won't have the results until the 25th. These dates are not entirely accurate because my plans for the summer are up in the air. But if I see that an entry is submitted after the 16th, you will be disqualified, even if you already have a post in here. That previous post however, will be diqualified along with the latter one.

Please be creative and patient.

For the short stories, they must be 4 paragraphs or smaller. For poems, you are ok as long as it is 30 lines or less. The longer does not necissarily mean the best, but neither does the shorter.

STAY ON THE TOPICS OF FRIENDSHIP AND/OR ROMANCE. i DON'T WANT ANY OF THAT DEPRESSION CRAP, YOU WILL BE DISQUALIFIED.

And, if you must, correct some of my spelling errors if you see any, i'm always learning.

Prizes may or may not increase, depending on how much gold I have myself then.

Have fun and don't make any comment about others's entries please, it's daftly annoying, and maybe they wanted it to be that way.

This poem is called 'How Could You?' It's about my boyfriend that started being mean and mistreating me. I loved him so much too.
My one true love,
Lies right above
And I have been thinking,
Is my heart really sinking?
Am I only dreaming?
Or is it really gleaming?
How could this happen?
Are my wings still flappin'?
I look into your eyes,
All I see are just ugly lies
You stabbed me in the heart,
And I got left in the dark
I watch you as you sleep,
You don't even make a peep
If you love me, you'll answer this too,
How coud you?

It's good, but the whole rhyming thing sort of throws it off a little. You try to rhyme, and that's what kind of takes away some of that natural flow that poetry is supposed to have. Um...but so far, since no one else has even entered this contest, you hve a huge chance of winning...I suggest you revise it though, and try to work at it freeverse. That just might be your thing...

This poem is called We didn't see what could have been.. by myself

At first I didn't notice you,
and you didn't notice me.
You were just an annoying cloud,
amongst my view.
but then you came closer,
and I saw the real you
the beautful you.
We became friends,
thats is what it seemed to be.
But to me we were more than friends,
we were more than friends but you didn't know.
I thought it all ended to be just some stupid crush
and it all went down hill,
untill i came to find,
you really did notice me.
Then i had to go,
and not come back next year.
We never did find out what it could have been.
What could it have been?

It's good, I like it...but I have a question...did this really happen? But um...It's good, it's got a few misspellings...you might want to change a few words here and there though...

here is my poem

If you wait for me
Then I'll come for you. Although I've travelled
far, I always hold a place for you
In my heart. If you think of me, If you miss me
once in a while, Then I'll return to you. I'll
return and fill that space in your heart

Then I'll come for you.
Although I've travelled far,
I always hold a place for you
In my heart.
If you think of me,
If you miss me,
once in a while,
Then I shall return to you.
I will return
and fill that space in your heart

I'm sorry if I have offended you with my comments...
They will not be judged entirely on how they were written,
Mostly,
They will be judged on the point you make in them...

Well, the fact you try to rhyme everything kinda doesn't work. It seems unnatural. I like the idea and everything, but I don't like it very much.
