What I am wanting is not just a poem named after a song, but I want you to write me a poem about the song. What does the song say to you? What does it mean to you? Don't worry, you will have PLENTY of choices to choose from. Most of the songs you will find are some of the biggest love songs of all time.
Okay, now your choices

Okay, now that you have that, now the rules.
You can write anything, poem, songs, short stories, letters to a loved one...dont matter...just as long as you write it about the song.
In order for me to judge this right, you have to put the song title in your comments or as the title its self.
I dont what the lyrics from the song in your write...but i want to know what the song means to you.
Don't bash others poetry...or yours will be removed, no questions asked.
I wont even read your poem if the background makes it hard for me to see your words.
I love pictures to help me understand the meaning more
I am going to allow prewrites in this contest, but they have to follow all the rules and be what i am looking for...remember not just the song title, but the meaning of the song too.
EXAMPLE:
I pick you to be the one to hold my heart
Know that every second we are apart
And know that I will never let you go
For this I just wanted you to know
Every time I am feeling low
You give me the strength to go on
Always giving me reason to face my day
Cause I know your love is with me all the way
Your the only one I need
And I hope this you can see
That I will never let you go
And my love i am trying to show
I love you baby, and know this
That its you that I miss
I will see you really soon
And its my love you will never lose
This one I wrote a few months ago, inspired by the song
I'll never let you go (Angel Eyes) bye steelheart
If you have any questions, just IM me...
Hope you enter, and Enjoy
This contest will be open till I get 35 entries...
Have fun!!!!

I haven't heard of alot of these bands
I only recognize REO Speedwagon, Def Lepard, Motley Crew, and I think I recognize Bad English.
tehee -
Sounds like a cool contest! I love the big hair bands of the 80's and early 90's...so I'll see what my muse can cook up.
Good luck with the contest!
Bestest wishes and all that other mushy, gushy stuff

This is a really good idea for a contest. I also really love the song choices, I'm jsut no good at stuff like this. If I was I would totally enter and do Lady by Styx or The Flame by Cheap Trick, but my talents are limited.
-
Hey cool contest. I'd enter but none of those bands are too fimilair to me Anyways, hope you get what you're looking for and happy judging!
