A Random Emotions Contest!

Hey people!!

OK, OK well this is my first contest ever! So please bear with me!
Hmm OK well I wanted to make a contest that is original. Grr right now I am having a brain fart though; so I can't think of anything! ...Oh, wait! I got an idea!

Pick any of these emotions to write about. You do not have to answer all the questions in your write but it would be nice to at least base your write on one of them in the emotions. Well before I forget what emotions and questions I am writing... well here they are.  


Death~ What is your aspect on death? Do you welcome it when the time comes or do you despise it? Do you believe in an afterlife after we die? When your loved ones pass on do you accept they are in a better place? Or do you curse your superior? What does death mean?

Pain~ Have you ever been in so much pain that you wish to be dead? Do you welcome the pain you take in/receive or do you curse it? Is pain a release to you or is it a burden? What is the worst pain you have received (that is optional to tell about). Do you think everyone and everything feels pain, emotionally and physically?

Love~ Have you ever felt truly in love? What does love feel like to you? Or if you never been in love; what do you think it feels like? Do you think everyone has someone that loves them? Do you think there is a someone for everyone? Have you ever been so in love that it hurt? Have you ever been in love but you just didn't feel right? Can love conquer all?

Happiness~ Was there a time when you were so happy that it felt like the world was spinning beneath your feet? Was there a time when you felt to happy that until this day you can recall every single detail? Have you ever felt happy to know that you are truly alive? Do you believe everyone can find happiness?

OK well those are the emotions and the questions that go with them!
Well now here are the rules! Dun, Dun, DUN!!

Rules:
There is only two rules.
1.If you submit prewrites...I don't want writes that have been in contests before.
2. Only one write per person. Sorrry to many writes to judge already

I am allowin prewrites because some poets greatest writes that go along with my contest are the ones they have already written.  

I don't believe there should be much rules in poetry. So I just want you to write how you feel. Write in any style you want. EvEn LiKe ThIs! Do what you want! I want to feel your emotions and beliefs! So just write like you mean it! Can't really spell well or have just typos? WHATEVER! I won't ever care if you did or not. Well, as long as I can read it at least. Well good luck and have fun!!!

Oh yeah...almost forgot...silly me!
