I'm not very good at writing fantasy poetry... I've only had one "fantasy" type of writing... and it was a story. Now, when you refer to "elves" do you mean the kind of Elves that J.R.R. Tolkien created with Lord of the Rings... the taller, blonde hair kind? Or do you mean the typical elf who is short... similar to the D&D version if you've played it?
Just curious... Anyways, cool contest! I hope you get what you are looking for 
--Tim -
you are very talented!well done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Any type of Elves you are familliar with. But if you use J.R.R.Tolkien's please also put it in the authors comment box.
Thank you for asking this question. -
hmmmm....... Why do I suddenly see some weird erotic poem about an Elf and Gobling getting on to create and Elfling or Gobelf?
*shrugs* maybe I should get out more. LOL
I will put my mind into action with the Dark Fairy Tales.
No shameless promotions *rolls eyes*
Regards. -
To bad that we can't write about dark evil fairies that cause corruption throughout the land of all non-dark faeries. Then I'd be able to enter. LOL! Great Contest! Hope you get a lot of entries!
-
cool
Nice very Nice!
I will try to enter.. I have nothing written at the moment and my Dragon poems are pre-writes and already not very inclusive to the options listed.. but I have a couple of days off.. so i will try to write something.. besides I haven't written about Elves or Goblins before.. I might try that!
Thankyou for notifying me about your contest.

Sounds like a fun contest. I have not really written much fantasy-like poems, but if you wish...and I would love your comment, please check out my poem called "If I believed in Fairytales"..if you like, I will surely try out one that evolves to this criteria.
-
intersting, but i doubt i would be able to come up with anything unusual so i'd rather not enter
-
Hmm...interesting
This is really a unique contest. I think that it has potential and will inspire some creativity on the parts of its participants. Not sure how I would do it, but I am sure that someone out there would be able to. -
aw, rats, i was hoping it was a funny fantasy poem!
Well, maybe if my muse re-awakes, then I can contribute.
Cute idea though.
-
I really enjoyed trying to write for this one. And the others in this contest are fabulous. Such talent. Thanks for making a contest that has dragons (don't forget next time to put in dwarves lol).
-
Many are really into the fantasy genre, but alas, I am not. Too rooted in fact, not fiction. Will check back to read some of these entries though. Good topics for a contest.
-
