Poetry Contest Description
New Member of the Month Feature!
Welcome to "New Member of the Month"!
You have 3 weeks to nominate Your favorite poems from a NEW DUP poet - someone who has been a member for no more than six months.
To locate New Members simply click on 'Poems' > *Latest Poems > Sort Poems > New Members!
Please note the following guidelines when making nominations:
1. Self nominations are not accepted. The great majority of the competitions here are about spotlighting one's own work on a particular topic or theme. This is a chance to nominate that poem that you wish you had written but some other great talent here beat you to it.
2. Until this comp is established, there is no limit to nominations; however, you can't nominate more than one poem per individual new member. *****
3. No DUPLICATES. If someone nominates the same poem the entry will be deleted. If you like it that much wait and vote for it!
4. Any genre except erotica or pornography. This is a Facebook feature and we must adhere to their guidelines.
5. Any member who is banned or disables their account PRIOR to the win will be automatically disqualified.
6. One win per member per calendar year ( 12 months ).
7. All nominators should notify their nominees of nominations.
8. PLEASE DON’T NOMINATE RECENT WINNERS ( see list below )
Any nominated member who wishes to opt out of the competition may do so by messaging me. I will contact the person who nominated you and request an alternate nomination.
Nomination Duration is 3 weeks followed by a week of site voting!

A Way Back
He always found a way back in
I put up with the tantrums,
the pain he caused,
the betrayal,
the ignorance,
the backstabbing,
So what the fuck did he want from me ?
What more did I owe him ?
I protected him enough without a doubt.
This was the kind of love that made me psychotic.
He was like a drug
Something I couldn't quite shake
I didn't know why I felt so entitled to be there..
Maybe it was those nights of intimacy
Those nights he stood holding me all night
He gave me security
He felt like home
But he threw it away..
He walked away from a love so special,
A friend so kind,
& A queen so strong
but he always found a way back in.
