Can you help me, I'll return the favor

    I don't mean to be snobbish, but I'd like to try to get nominated for one of the weekly poetry contests because I think I deserve it. I don't know how to not offend anyone by saying this, but I feel as though a lot of the winning poems are lacking. I'm wondering why they win and how I can better my chances of getting nominated. I've been commenting other poems more lately; I don't know what else I can do.

    Anyways, here's a poem of mine. If you want me to look at some of yours, let me know and I promise I will. Thanks.

    Preserve The Doll

    Never standing
    Stoic doll
    Sitting on the bed.

    Not quite blinking
    Somehow breathing
    Silent doll
    There on the bed.

    Making life it's
    Endless living!
    Freely giving
    Static living!
    Sitting and quitting
    Quitting- yet living!

    Guiltless, shameless
    Everything's mindless?
    Giving in
    It's painless gifting.

    Doll is stronger
    We are wronger
    Standing, slouching
    Crying, hurtful.

    Eat me up;
    Dolly's worthful.
