Well Guten Tag my friends.
This is my second contest and I can't wait to start getting entries in, and then the judging, even if the last one was so difficult, I loved it.
Anyway, this contest has lots of options. I'm feeling adventurous.
I'm looking mostly for sad stuff, because I'm in a sad mood. Tomorrow/Today is the anniversary of my best friends suicide, this contest is for him.
I'm sure all you talented people who are so going to enter are going to wow me with your poetry and make me feel better.
Option 1 - WORD BANK (use 7 of 9 - yeah I love Star Trek)
Pain
Beauty
Helpless
Panic
Locked
Surreal
Plastic
Whore
Facade
Option 2 - Tell me about your dream or hopes and dreams in general, but bring reality into the picture for the closing line. Build it all up and then let it come crashing down, I'm expecting only great poems for this option, I really want to feel the disappointment in the realisation of reality. It doesn't have to be personal, it could also be Society related.
Option 3 - WORD BANK (try to use all of these)
Colorblind
Forgotten
Addicted
Desecration
Neglected
Confusion
Devotion
Disappear
Promises
Dangerous
Option 4 - Write me a poem with the title Beware! Criminal, anything goes qua subject, just call it that and write to your hearts content. Kudos for this option.
Option 5 - Write me a poem about the stars, anything about them, preferably dark/sad for this entry. The subject of the poem can be about something else (anything really) as long as stars come into it.
Option 6 - Write me a poem about psychosis, if you do this, please try to make it believable & realistic. It's probably not the easiest topic if you don't understand completely at a personal level.
Option 7 - This option is similar to option 6, I would love to read poems about disorders in general, eating disorders are okay too. Schizophrenia, Multiple Personality Disorder, Depression etc. Cutting is okay, just don't make it your generic song text cutting. Deep and from the heart is the best mood for this option.
Option 8 - Write me a poem starting: 'Play me guitar as loud as you can...' No erotica on this option. Can be sad/dark, can also be happy (i prefer darker poems). Would like it to be about love/relationships, doesn't have to be.
Last Option - Write me a poem called 'Utter Devotion' make it dark, make me sad or angry. Just make me feel.
Rules:
× No prewrites, maybe next time
× No more than 2 poems per poet
× Put the option you used in the authors comment box along with the phrase
'build me up buttercup' (if you don't I will probably delete your entry)
Swearing is fine.
Stories and poems are both good.
Interesting formats get kudos.
Rhyming poems aren't really my thing.
I'll give you the world if you can do an erotic one with those options
Sticky caps... If you think you can pull it off sure.
Feel free to use @!¿?½/|\+ï½;: in your poem, if its applicable at all.
