Basic Information
This is a poetry contest by Silver.

The objective is to write a poem describing a cat's feelings (see more below).

You will be graded on certain elements seen below.

This is all for fun, so don't get upset if you lose!

Everyone gets a prize.

Host
Silver/Me!

Rules
'''It must be a poem. '''Any other form of writing will not be counted.

'''It must be at least two stanzas. '''I would just like to read more than two short lines.

'''No more than nine stanzas. '''

'''It must be based off a cat's feelings. These feelings can be about love, friendship, adventure, sorrow, etc. '''I really like poems describing cats and how they feel, so that's the topic of my poetry contest.

'''It must follow all other wiki guidelines. ''':3

Scoring
The highest possible score is 25/25, or 100%.
 * GRAMMAR, SPELLING - 3 pts (12%)
 * Proper writing skills should be put into this, so it should be easier to read.
 * UNIQUENESS - 5 pts (20%)
 * Try to think of different ideas. Don't do see one about Leafpool and her heartbreak and then do one about Crowfeather and his heartbreak with the exact same style. You may write about those characters, but keep this different and show off your ideas.
 * Use new ideas. You may look back at other poems and get ideas, but try to keep things fresh and new.
 * CREATIVITY - 10 pts (40%)
 * Let you shine through this poem! Your ideas, thougts, and words will have a huge impact on your score.
 * Don't be afraid to try new things. Your creativity counts, and don't forget that!
 * FLOW - 3 pts (12%
 * Keep the poem smooth, and easy to follow. Yes, I am a culprit of this...
 * Stay on one main idea. If you skip from, "His heart broke," and then started the next line, "He liked tp hunt," it confuses the reader.
 * IDEA - 4 pts (16%)
 * Sort of in the creativity category, but still. Have an idea that you can get across to the reader easily. If your poem is supposed to convey the feeling of not knowing, show that in your words.
