Guys who write songs.

Hi there.  This contest is one I'm especially in the mood for.  I want lyrics, but there's a twist: you cannot enter this contest if you're a girl.  I only want guys to enter, because I don't have the pleasure of reading very many lyrics written by boys.  I'd like to see some!  Here are your choices and rules. . .

CHOICES:
1. Love song.  It can be happy, sad, angry, whatever.
2. Political/society.  Just make it intelligent.
3. Spiritual, religious, etc.  Any religion, doesn't matter.

RULES:
1. Only males can enter, no females.
2. ONE POEM PER PERSON..no more than that.  If you are using more than one screen name on AP, submit only one piece under ONE SCREEN NAME.  If I have reason to believe you are submitting pieces under two screen names, both entries will be removed without notifying you.
3. No erotica, sticky caps, or ebonics.
4. Keep profanity to a minimum.
5. Prewrites ARE allowed.

PRIZES:
Gold trophy - 300 points
Silver trophy - 37 points
Bronze trophy - 28 points

If you want, you may comment on one of my pieces.  You don't have to, but I sure would appreciate it.    Have fun with this contest; I look forward to reading all of your entries!  =)

Love in Christ,
Cheri E.

Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on August 18, 2005
  • Rewards: Gold: 300
  • Final notes:
    HONOURABLE MENTIONS:
    Antipodi - "Let it Be (The Light)"
    jervoodoo - "magnesium"
    Navi - "Learning to Fly"
    sensualmonkey - "roman summer"
    2nd2pac - "Don't Cry Mama"
    LaydeLyre - "Rose, Spare Some Change"

    This was so damn hard to judge! That's why there are so many honourable mentions. lol This is the best contest I've ever held, because I learned so much about the opposite sex from it. For me, this contest definitely helped to bridge the gender gap a little.

    Thanks for giving me the opportunity to enter a song in your contest I've attached the tune with the lyrics so you can sing to the melody Its only short really, probably not a full song, but its better than nothing i guess

    OOps!! I just looked and I can't eneter... I don't fit that whole guy criteria! i don't think you would want me to write a song anyway. that's not really quite my forte. I do hope you get lots of others entires though. good luck to you and to all of those who enter.

    My song is a parody of "staying alive" its a collaborative work with my brother and it makes fun of people in my town. I hope you like it.

    this sounds like it's right up my alley. most of my poems end up as lyrics anyway
