OK, here's what I want you to do. Give me a poem, based on, or inspired by a picture. But, unlike all the other contests I've come across, I want you to use your own picture. That's right, use your own picture, be it a wall paper, a random picture you've come across, or even a personal photograph.
Now, I know they're doing the Gold Membership thing, but rather then upload the picture, put the URL link in your Authors Notes, If you are a permanent Gold Member then that's fine, but please still include the URL link.
Tell me about the picture, what emotions it inspires in you, or just what it brings out for you, how it inspires you, anything, but make sure your poem is about the picture. If there's no connection then there's no point.
No rules. No stipulations. Poem and Picture may be of anything, or about anything. Erotica if you like. Cussing is allowed, if necessary. Have fun.
1st place, 300 points.
2nd and 3rd, have yet to be decided.

so you don't want us to put the picture above the poem?
-
You can if you like, but I still want the URL code, typed into the authors comments, that way, for those that do not have Gold Membership permanently, when Wednesday comes and goes, I still have a way of seeing the pictures.
-
This such a great idea for a contest! It gives the writer more freedom to do what they want. I'm totally have to find a great picture to enter in this since it's such a great contest.
-
I cant wait to see what you come up with
-
Alright Ash. Give me a bit of time, as my mother always steals the computer. I'll find something for you, probably by tonight. If not, tomorrow for sure. (I won't forget this time)
-
I didn't forget, just got really busy. I'm a lookin for a pic right now
-
This is a great contest!! I would have entered if it allowed pre-writes as I have a few based on my own abstract paintings, but hey ho, can't please em all can ya! Good luck!! Blissful Princess

What the hell? My poem wasn't even seen!
-
There are no views to it yet
-
You must have just entered it while I was judging it, as I made a point to read and comment all entrees, Im terribly sorry for not having seen it. I expect next time I should figure out a way to close the contest before I spend the time judging it. I apoligize again, and if its any consolation (which I know its not) I will read it and comment it. I apoligize again.
