Welcome back ladies and gents
for Round Three of
Vets vs Rookies!
In the last round you all worked with forms and did an amazing job
I might add, though we still had to bid farewell to two poets.
The two poets we waved good bye to were Sonja and
onyxsoul, HOWEVER, since the posting of the
eliminations I was approached by a poet and
one of the two immunity passes has been
brought out. I am happy to say that
here in round three onyxsoul
will once again be
joining us!
In round one you had to deal with mythological creatures
and in round two you had the lovely challenge of
playing with forms which brings us here to
round three. In round three you will
tackle one of my favorite types
of challenges to create
and offer up.
Now before I get to what your challenge will be this time
let me first bring your attention to the fact that this
round we will not be saying farewell to just two
poets but instead, at the end of this round
we will be bidding farewell to THREE
poets. That's right the three poets
with the lowest scores at the
end of this round will be
leaving us this time
around.
For this round I expect you ALL to think outside
your box. That will be the ONLY way to
make it through this round.
Your challenge this week will be based off of two things. First
I will give you each a single word. From this word your
write is to be based/inspired/springboard from.
You may NOT mention the word anywhere in your write
or in any form, be it past, present or future.
Below you will find your name with your assigned
word beside it. There will be no exchanging
or swapping of words. What you get is
what you got and that is FINAL!

leander ~ perception
JM Kenyon ~ estranged
JustRob ~ adaptation

There you all have your assigned word, however that is but
one part to this round. Below you will find a list of fifty
phrases I have put together. From that list you are
to use a minimum of twenty-five (25) of those
phrases in your write this round. However,
you may use more if you so choose to.
The phrases CANNOT be altered in any way.
Any phrases that are altered in any way will
cost you 2points per altered phrase
deducted from your score for
this round.

Hubby's PC works just fine. Here goes:
He's so preditible that I figured it out. 
I must be off in a few as not to be caught red handed. 
I do hope to have my entry in by the deadline on Friday. If I see that I can't I bid you all the best of luck with the Rounds. Kudos to whomever sucessfully comes out on top.
