Fake Ass Poetry Contest
Journal Entry: Wed Jan 2, 2008, 6:02 PM
Okay...i forget who it was exactly, but someone on here thought i should enter a poetry contest. she gave me the link for it and i went for it. i entered one of my poems, "Jack and Sally", on there and it said they'd get back to me. i get a letter in the mail a few weeks later saying that my poem was entered in the semi-finals for a $1000 prize. i was pretty much ecstatic. i decided tho that i should research the website (which i shouldve done BEFORE i entered my poem, but i didnt). anyway, i come to find out that the whole thing is fake. they only wanted my money, which really pissed me off. it made me feel shitty. i went on there, and as a joke, people for the hoax website entered this really shitty poem about a cat that had fleas and how it bites his ass all the time. it showed the same acceptance letter that i got under the poem. that made me feel bad. before that, the letter made me feel like i was good enough to actually write the poetry. idk...
but to anyone thinking of entering their poetry in a contest, research it first. save yourself the bullshit hassle.
