| 'The sentences won out over the verse...here are my favourites for worst opening sentences.. I have been asked by Kevin to provide a more detailed explanation on how this contest works. Each add a line is an entry, except for mine - and each entry is in the running for a Gold Trophy (300 points) for 1st place ... Silver Trophy for 2nd place and Bronze Trophy for 3rd place. There are no 3 predetermined or prenamed entries that will win this contest..this is not a tiered contest - it's a one time deal...everyone has a shot at it. I will select the three entries (add a lines) that i like best on November 5th, the closing date of the add a line and i'll award the trophies on the contest page since i cannot award trophies here. My three favourites will then post their entries on a poem page and submit it on my contest awarding page in order to receive their trophies allpoetry.com/Contest/2302933 The End Yes, this is a contest, it may not look like a contest but it is. I have made up a trophy awarding contest page and the three winning add a lines will submit their work here to receive their trophies ... The contest is for 300 points and the gold, silver and bronze trophies. Two options for the add a line ...please specify your option when adding 1. The worst opening sentence when writing a story and yes they can be run on sentences if you like with these ( - ..... ands, buts, also), of a reasonable length as in not the whole friggin page 2. The worst opening rhyming stanza when writing a poem

| 1.) This is the story that was twisted and turned until the story didn't exist so that the story was actually fake; so what's with a story that isn't a real story but is said to be a real story when the true story is just a fake? The story is about a writer who's writing their story about the story of their grandmother who told the writer of the story about the story of their ancestors. Her story was twisted and turned by an ancestor who was writing the story about a story writer from long ago--who was a liar. So the story writer who's writing the story about their grandmother's story of the story of the ancestors who's writing the story of the liar is fake. So the story is true in some parts because the grandmother said the story was true...but who wants to believe grandmother when her story is made up by Alzheimers? | |
