YAY! This is my first contest in almost two years! I am very excited about this one! ok kiddies, here are your choices:
1) I am graduating high school in three weeks, write a poem that either gives me advice/ outlook on the situation. Maybe write a poem wishing me off into the ' real world'?
2) Write a poem in the pov of you as a little kid (no older than seven) if you choose this one make sure the vocabulary is correct. if you want to use misspelled words to enhance the mood Like 'spaghetti' would be 'skettie' you may as long as you dont over do it.
3) I work at an icecream shop. Write a poem from the Pov of a customer that has a crush on the girl (or guy) at the counter. Or, write a poem from the Pov of the worker crushing on a customer
4) You're one of the cool kids at your high school. Write a poem about the crazy little art girl you see in school everyday, what you think about her, what is her life like?
Yes i know all these have to do with me.
Rules:
1) Keep it clean, if you think a swear will enhance your piece, ok, but don't over do. My English teacher told me that swearing in a piece unless to create character is a sign of minimal vocabulary.
2) PREWRITES, though allowed, are HIGHLY DISCOURAGED, if you already have a poem that perfectly fits one of my categories, ok, but i would really like to see new material
3) You may submit up to two poems. If you do, one of them has to be written specifically for this contest.
4) you are encouraged to comment on another poem in this contest. after all, these people may be your competition but they are good poets too!
If you have any questions feel free to aol im me at DreaminAt10mph i will try to help you as much as i can. this is my last week of school so i will be busy! But i will help everyone out as much as i can
First Place gets 350 points and their poem on my author page!
Second Place gets 150 points!
Thrid Place gets 50 points!
Have Fun!

Interesting contest ideas here!... I was inspired by some of your topics so I have written a couple to submit. I look forward to hearing your opinions on them and if I have interperated what you were hinting correctly. Good luck to everyone who enters! x

Even if you hadn't told me you worked with ice cream?
I would have guessed. -
Well, I put all my emotion into that. Thanks for the most interseting contest.
