Is there a requirement for what type of poetry, how long it is, etc?

Nope. The only requirements are these:

It must fit the week's theme.
It must be submitted by the deadline.
It cannot have inappropriate language in it.
It cannot be stolen (if you plagiarize, we will find you).

So we can have like 4 lines and you don't really care?

Ill go dig through my stash of old poetry. See if I find anything : /

Can I help be a judge? =?

Carressing the land, swishing in the sand
Clears my mind or at least I pretend
As bands of time ripple in wake of my hand


Flowin, spillin, rollin
down hills and in oceans
makes the late day a perfect lotion
Sit back and rewind,
sittin still lost in time
Moving over rolling down
as I hear the wakes rolling sound
Playing the beats the land won't know.

It rolls like the wind,
Crashes like a wave
It is the only sauve of a terrible day.
Water, it's the only way.

OH, and may I judge? Im open Tunacan! post on my profile, I have hardly any post, I'd like a few haha.

Nice J4son thats a good poem.

For any users that want to help judge: The judging is going to be restricted to mods and admins for the first couple contests, so we can see how things turn out. If everything goes well, we'll open up the voting to you guys.

Oh I was just about to ask can I judge thanks for the notice.

A haiku by Estel,

Mysterious Ways of Water

The liquid of life,
but can end it for many.
Quite an enigma

Cool. Tunacan, who is YOU ALL?

scare me.

Here's my entry

Water is a double edged sword,
So let me give this warning word.
In small amounts it will give life,
But it is as deadly as a knife.

So do not swim in oceans deep,
The price to pay is far too steep.
An assassin in disguise,
Deep water leads surely to demise.

I won't be judging this contest, but I will be judging any that I decide not to submit to :P
