The Pages Of Your Soul

I'm an over-your-shoulder reader. I like knowing exactly what is going on inside your head. So for this contest I want you to tell me.

This contest is for those of you who have ever kept, or keep, a diary; journal, notebook, or whatchyamuhcallit.

Guidelines-

~Take out an old, or current, journal; diary; whatchyamuhcallit.
~Set it on your lap- yes, stop scrolling for a second to do this.
~Flip through the wrinkled pages and find the entry that you most regret, despise, laugh at, keep hidden...choose the day that most stands out at you and calls you to re-read it over and over again.
~This is the entry I am interested in.
-now that you have chosen it...create poetry from your words.

Rules: Just a couple- hold on there Tiger.

1.) Use at LEAST one exact line or phrase from that particular day's entry..I wish to feel how you were feeling at the precise moment the page was written.

2.) Don't lie to me...I won't like you very much...not that I'll be able to know if you are lying or not...(forget I said that)

NOW...let me into your mind.

  • Final notes:
    I am sorry it took me so long to judge this...there were too many excellent entries, honestly!! But I feel confident in my final decisions...although I did feel as though some entries did not follow the rules or the quidelines as a journal type poem. Thank you all who participated, I enjoyed this thoroughly!!

    Can it be a happy entry, or does it have to be one I regret?

      Not at all- it's your journal, your personal feelings. Whatever strikes out to you, enter. Thank you for asking though.
