Score one for the designer...
I love this idea. Especially the nature option. I'm sure I'll be posting one up in the next day or so... -
Hope my poem fits the criteria, i don't think it will be awe inspiring enough but no harm in entering.
-
A great contest. I am thinking of making a contest just for nature scenes... in fact... I think I'll go do that now before I squander all my points.
I entered this one too. Cheers!

it's a great contest theme Rain...I'll see what I can do about rounding up some AP friends that I know have written some poems on these very themes and lead them on to your contest!

Thinking
ummm will think on this one x -
Wow, so many varied choices I know I have a really great nature poem kicking around somewhere...let me see if I can find it for you. Any maybe I'll write a new one too...but that depends on how much time I have (holiday season, you know how it is). Anyways, good luck hosting and judging! I'll bet you get a lot of great entries

is is a really nice looking contest...
the skiing and snow splashing ... that sounds fun for coutries that have snow in it lol... i envy then... we don't know snow here (as in we don't get it) it snowed once, not that fluffy white snow but pieces of ice lol... that was at least 5 years ago
too bad i came across it too late.. i might've thought about trying the Disney options.. but the contest closes one day from now! and i got my mid-year examz after tomorrow lol!
oh well have fun everyone
and good luck to all the contestants!

I think I can write about nature. lol. I'll have to bookmark this. I'm always a fan of entering new contests when I find one with options I feel I can somehow relate to. Heck, I could probably even write about Disney, but it'd end up being a depressing poem. LOL.
-
well, this is an interesting idea for a contest. I'm not nearly creative enough to enter with the topic choices you have given, but I hope you get lots of great entries, good luck judging it!
-
thanks for the HM Rain, and thanks for coming around on Christmas Day no less to judge this contest! I'll always look to other contests you may feature in the future...and CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THE WINNERS!

congrats to all the winners and other entrants. Since there seems to have been a lot of nature poems let me invite everyone to enter my contest restricted to nature poetry. It closes in 2 days but prewrites are allowed. Cheers to all!
