Love, Family, Babies...Come See! (Contest)

Okay, so things are kind of tricky for me right now but yet I'm still pretty darn happy so I want happy stuff! Okay?

There are a few options or you can always so something else as long as it's happy.

Option Number 1:
love
Okay, I found the greatest guy and I find myself falling for him over and over again. All the time actually. I want to hear about love. And only good love. I don't want to hear about the love gone wrong. Sorry. You can pretty much go anywhere with this; it can be love of a spouse/mate/boyfriend/girlfriend/whatever or love of a friend, or love of a family member, a pet...whatever you want to do as long as it's happy and good love.

Option Number 2:
Family
Right now, my dad is sick; he's not doing too bad at the moment, but he's not doing too good either. He has liver and kidney failure. So this is where I'm kind of down. With this one, don't write about a family member having health problems. I'm trying to give myself a little break from thinking about that. Write about how silly you and your siblings are; about your favourite time(s) with your family, write about your AP family; I don't care. Write something family oriented that is very postitive.

Option Number 3:
Babies
Okay, I love babies. I always have and I always will. But lately I don't know, I've been thinking a lot about babies and I want some cute, funny, silly, happy, whatever poems about babies; nothing sad though. Please. Just write about your kids when they were babies, about your grandkids, whatever. It's got to be happy and about babies. That's it.

Option Number 4:
Humor
Write anything funny. Just give me a laugh or two. I want to smile a bit more; I just got back from visiting the love of my life and now I'm at home and I'm just a little down about it. I miss him; so write me something that will put that smile back on my face and laughter back in my heart.

Option Number 5:
Me
I'm being selfish, I know, but write me something that is specifically for me. Write me a tribute, a letter, whatever. Just something that you specifically wrote for me; a pick me up a I guess you could call it.

Or if you have any other ideas, feel free to IM me with them and I'll think them over.

Now for the Rules
Generic Rules (No chat lingo, no sticky caps, no erotica, keep profanity to a minimum, check spelling and grammar, no prewrites)
Make it positive; anything that makes me want to cry for a bad reason (not out of joy or happiness) will be DQ'd and no more entries for you.
You may enter as many times as you would like, but I would prefer you to only write one for each option; not madatory, but prefered.
Have Fun



Prizes
First Place: Gold Trophy and 500 points
Second Place: Silver Trophy and 300 points
Third Place: Bronze Trophy and 150 points
Honorable Mentions: 50 points each

Note On Honorable Mentions I'm not sure how many we will have, it will all depend on the amount of entries we get.


Thanks
Jess And Gabe (Benighted Eidolon)

    I'll see what I can come up with dear. My funny has been a little dry. If I do post something funny, expect it from my AP alter ego FemYem (I pulled a Yem and have two names, I just haven't posted anything under that yet).

    I like the idea and the only thing that comes to mind is a prewrite so sadly I'll give this a miss. Good luck anyway

    This looks like a lovely contest you have here. I don't know if I will enter or not, but I will think about it. I love the positive feeling of it. It draws me. Well done.

    I have a few ideas for your contest, sissy! And it's not selfish to want something written about yourself, not if it's to help you get through a hard time. I love my AP family, and I will try to write something that will do you all justice.

    How bout this; If I don't get enough entries, I will extend the date and I will allow one prewrite from you? Will that work? Right now I just wanna see what people can come up with really.

    Well, I have a couple of pre-writes that would fit the bill, but I am not sure that I can come up with anything new right now. I will check back in.

    Awwwwwwww sounds like a cool contest sis...I bet you're going to get a bunch of amazing entries. I would enter if it weren't for the fact that I am completely dead in my poetry lately...acutally I don't know when I've been alive in my poetry so that gives you a clue to how bad I'm writing poems right now Good luck with your contest! Love ya bunches!!!!! and x a billion!

    Well I like the option about love, but I don’t know somehow it seems that doesn’t matter how happy I am with love; I can write anything that it isn’t melancholic, as for the other options they look very fun to… and of course if I can get out of my usual mood then I will must definitely try to come back with an entry…
    I wish you the best… and hopefully you will get lots of entries…

    i wrote three poems about babies last week! havent gotten many comments on them yet though. i thought that they were good. but i guess they are considered prewrites. i don't know too many people on this site but i am glad to know that someone wants up beat and happy poems for a change! let me know what exactly a prewrite rules are. i think i wrote mine last week and think that you will like them. one is called tiny little blessings and the other is called sweet dreams about my two year old. maybe you can still check them out for me even if i can't enter them into your contest! thanks,~~tracy

    Well, I would add prewrites, but since I have had everyone else write new ones, I will have to do another one with prewrites allowed from the beginning. Keep an eye out and I'll probably do basically the same contest but with prewrites. Thanks for the comment.

    Hugs
