†Choices, Choices, and choices!!!!!†

My judging partner will be on vacation till August 1, so when she comes back, we will judge this. Sorry for the sudden change in plans.


Hello all of you wonderful poets of AP! This contest is going to be simple. All you have to do is choose one of the options and write about it. If you're going to do a picture, express what it makes you feel, don't describe the photo to us, we can see it ourselves.

    Oh no! I just posted a poem that would have fitted quite nicely into option 5.
    The other options look great too though, hopefully I'll a new suitable idea lurking in the back of my mind somewhere.

    Merry meet,
    Word Banks!!!! I love word banks. * giggles madly*
    regarding option #2, is there an upper limit of words to use? For instance, say I managed to use all the words in the list, is that allowed? do you want us to list the words used and do they have to be used in order that they are listed?
    Thanks

    Amythest

    I like this contest! I might enter, if I get some more time to put lots of work into my poem. I figure, what's the point of entering, if you aren't putting your best effort forward? Awesome contest, and I hope you get lots of wonderful entries,
    Cassie.
