For Sharon...
By, Geezer

for her pain and tears

Left alone, bewildered

He disappeared one night
"Oh God, it's been so long!"

Hello everyone,

I no longer have access to the Neopoet Archive (not sure if its on my end or if it is down for everyone) and I was wondering if there is any place that stores the old contests from several years ago. I won two contests in a row once upon a time and would just like to retrieve those poems if possible. My end goal is to list those wins on my resume because it really needs some spicing up!

Historical Figures.

I reckon a few of ya'll are aware I'm running a contest in order to judge whether or not there's interest in there being periodic official contests here on site ( I hope you will enter). If it becomes obvious that there IS interest in contests there will have to be some type prize which doesn't require sending out material goods via mail. (Too Expensive).

So this is a chance to let me know some ideas for prizes which are both inexpensive(or free) as well as desirable. So let me have your ideas here.
