Philosophical despair  March 6, 2012 - March 30, 2012

Write a philosphical poem that is melancholic, and include a phlosophy quote. There is a difference between writing philosphy and writing an arguement, so dont submit a poem promoting stuff like civil rights, because that is not what this contest is about. Write about life, love, conciousness, society, whatever you want.

A few simple rules-
Be mature
Don't be stupid
No erotica
Don't forget a quote (Not one of your own)

How to increase your chances of winning (not required)-
Write closed form (no free style)
Rhyme
Use meter
Write in german (no other language)
Mention a real philospher (you dont count)


I will adjust the number of winners deprending on how much stupid stuff is submitted compared to good poems. And if not enough submissions appear i will delete the contest altogether, there is no sense in holding a contest for only a handful of poems in which half are guarunteed to win by default.
Be serious, dont be stupid, and have fun.


Oh, and if you submit a german poem i will know if you just used google translate to translate the poem, because translater sites are not very good with grammar. So dont test me on that.
