The Power of Choice is Yours

Welcome.

This is a contest of choices. I like to offer variant selections so that the contestants have the power to choose what suits them best. I only ask that you put the choice number in your author's comments box.


Choice # 1
I want you to choose at least three phrases and use them in an original poem. If you choose this, I would like you to put that you chose choice number one, and the numbers of the phrases you use.
Here are the phrases:

1) as the sun bleeds into the ocean
2) ripe for any kind of wickedness
3) dirtied by insolence
4) torpid by disease
5) starry-eyed and sleep-deprived
6) honored by golden rays
7) admiring bountiful thoughts
8) a rippling kaleidoscope
9) energy twitching in an awesome supply
10) alive with glittered dreams
11) flavored with the moon's remains
12) closely aligned with Nature
13) beaten with knowledge
14) woven well with smiles
15) the ghosts of many haunt me
16) beaded with dew
17) unwrapping night's mysteries
18) balanced by the Earth
19) basking in glory
20) altered by his resolution

Choice #2
Write about a religion that you don't practice. If you don't like what they practice, I don't want to know. Please be respectful. You can write about their faults. No bashing.

Choice #3
Write about what you hope your honeymoon will be like. Or, if you are married, write about your actual honeymoon.-(or, you can rewrite it )

Choice #4
If you are Wiccan, write about it.....You can write about deities, magick, the sabats, tools, herbs, or whatever you want. If you are not, then you can study Wicca and write about it.

Choice #5
Write about one of these paintings. Put the number in your author's comments.

    Good

    Actually I want to comment on your choice number 4. All because someone does those things doesn't mean they are "witchs" Wiccans (like myself) do those things as their religion. They are often mistaken by being witches. I just wanted to make sure you know that and dont actually think there is witches. (laughs) Good contest I am thinking about entering! Of course probably the witch one to!!!

    I would like to say something about choice number four. Yes, I know that a lot of Wiccans don't call themselves "witches", but I choose to call myself a witch because the word "witch" stems from the Anglo Saxon word "wicce", which means "wise one." I practice the religion of Wicca, and I practice some witchcraft. Sorry for any confusions.
    Love, Ashlee
