Make Yourself Fall in Love with Someone

Write yourself a poem that would make you fall in love with the writer.

In other words, what would make you fall in love with someone who wrote YOU the love poem?

Feel free to write about it from any angle you desire. No limits.

I feel love is translated from several elements:

spiritual (not religious)
physical (the holder of the spirit)
emotion (pure intent)
mind (communicates with all of the above)

If you listen to "Shaman's Love Song" (Zayra Yves),
"I Sing Your Song" (Michael Monroe), "Seduces Me" (Celine Dion), & "For Emily (Wherever I May Find Her" (Simon & Garfunkel) you'll better understand what I want here. If you message me evidence that you listened (not just read the lyrics) to these songs, I'll award 10 points for each listen (40 points total). What did the song/songs make you feel?

Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on February 5, 2007
  • Rewards: Gold: 400, Silver: 200, Bronze: 100
  • Final notes:
    I looked at poems every day since the 31st and looked at some at least ten times each. I had one helluva time with these, as there were certain lines in poems that I didn't put in the Finalist's that in themselves were genius...but the one line didn't "make" the entire poem. Among others, "watching her lips was multitasking" I rather loved! LOL!
    Thanks to all that entered the contest. I hope those that didn't listen to the artists do so at some point. Their music is lovely and they will be famous some day, in my opinion. You heard it here first...

    I love the idea of this contest, and it's certainly worth thinking about! I'm not familiar with all of the songs you've listed so will have to do some research. I look forward to reading the entries and may even come up with one myself.

    Best wishes,
