does it have to be only ten words or the ten words mixed in with others?
-
Ok,.. write a poem using those 10 words. It can be any theme, any style, just as long as it has structure and the 10 words are used. Ok?
Marianne~ -
Well this contest indeed caught my eye, very interesting idea, I just save the words hopefully I will be able to create a piece revolving all the words and create a good flow, anyways hopefully my muse will visit me to be able to enter your contest, so hopefully I will come back… anyways still I wish you the best in the contest… and judging

this is a great idea for a contest, mom! i knew you could put those points to good use, lol
Well, good luck in judging and I hope I followed the rules correctly!
Love ya,
Ryan -
That was just hilarious I posted this contest 2x for some reason, I wondered where my points went to. LOL. Now that's funny!
Marianne
-
I like "stagnant," but other than that none of the other words inspire me so I will be on the sidelines on this one. I hope you have lots of fun judging and reading the entries hun.
-
Hi there Marianne,
I like this word bank contest. I will surely go back for this one! Eris
-
AP Rulkes, I repeated that one, I still have to find out where authors notes are, is it here? An IM, or at the end of my submission, If anyone can let me know, Many thanks Titus
-
this looks good and i'm going to enter but i just wanted to tell you that in the part of the contest whrer u put the words and definitions you forgot the word......"significant" number 7
-
jumps up and down excitedly!!!!!!!
Thank You!!!! Thank You!!!! Thank You!!!
I can see it was a tough one to judge there were some excellent entries!!!
Awsome contest!! -
well done to all the winners
-
Very good contest, stormi! It brought good poems out of everyone!
-
Thanks,.. It was difficult and everyone had great entries, I couldn't figure out who to give trophies to! It was difficult. My next one will be just like this one with different 10 words.
I like the 10 words concept because maybe there's words people have never used in their poetry. I know there was many in there that I never used. Maybe I will now. *smile*
Thanks for entering and for showing me your creative side. I'll be viewing more poems from you more often with the others too
Thanks again!!
Marianne

Babylah: Thanks for saying that about my contest, everyone did a marvelous job. Hey maybe for my next contest you could help me judging. I've never been the greatest judge, I like everyone's work. The fact they tried is important to me.
