Hi

Please remove my poem from consideration in this competition.

H...anon.

poet Anonymous

Not sure where to tell it or who to tell but please don't put any of my work  on Facebook
I don't have an account  and want no part of it. Or Twitter.
I am not saying I've been nominated but just in case I ever were to be.  Best made clear now.

Kind regards

salem

         
to be so reckless and anoint her          
a thing of rare beauty          
would be grossly improper          
         
blasphemy          
         
stunningly breathtaking          
her virtues become one's symptoms          
         
an effect even more asphyxiating          
if one was exposed to her lethal gaze          
         
to pass such deadliness in the street          
would inspire one to conjure magic          
only to pluck flowers from thin air          
offer her a valentine and lose my good name          
       
on any blessed day of this life

First, no one's poem is going to be showcased on other social networking venues if they don't want it to be. We realize many prefer the privacy of this site by selecting the option of hiding their work from the public.

Alternatively if you do not want to be featured in the DUP Hall of Fame message me and I'll simply mark your poem a non-entry come voting time. It's no biggie. There are several I have to do that with anyway, e.g. - previous winners, etc.

Secondly, this comp is to showcase writers who wish for more exposure both on the site and through alternative forms of social networking. Our Hall of Fames showcase poems and poets which assist new members with who the site considers ( via site-wide voting ) some of the best when they're looking for poets they'd like to follow.

Lastly, it's also an opportunity to show your peers just how much you enjoyed a particular piece of poetry of theirs by nominating it for this honor. Which we can only hope are appreciated.

We're offering opportunity, not dictating mandates. You do and always will own your poems here.

Now imma dryin out on the surface and need to redive.

Peace, Love and all that Jazz.

✌❤🎷

I don't care what my poems do here or elsewhere, my only gripe is facebook.
as one of the people with good sense who is part of the movement to boycott facebook
I certainly don't want my work there.
I do understand users can share it to their profile, that is different and I don't care about that.
that's all
here is one of the hundreds of pages on why people ougtta leave there.

Okay so you're good with the nomination and hall of fame, just not social networking sites outside of DUP?

yep, you got it...though just facebook is my issue.
and I was lazy on the article since there are so many.
the Antichrist really is far less important to me than this one might lead you to believe
