This is my first ever competition so this should be interesting.
First off, I'd like emotive poetry. Try and keep it on the bright side as I don't want anything dark and nothing erotic.
Its my boyfriend's 20th birthday on April 7th and my Mums birthday on the 9th and I'd like some poems with perhaps the birthday persuasion to it. I'll give you some options.
Poetry options:
1. Write a poem for somebody's birthday. Something that you can create to give as a gift (after all, it's the thought that counts)
2. Write a poem about featuring positive emotions.
How do you express your feelings of friendship or love to another? How do these emotions make you feel?
Lots of emotive language and imagery please
3. Nature. I love nature poems and how words can convey nature's beauty. Pick something from nature you admire, like to observe and write about it.
What is so special about it? How does it make you feel?
Again, descriptive language and imagery.
Ok now for some rules I think.
1. No dark or erotic poems. Keep it tasteful.
2. Standard english please. No typink lyek dis
Or LiKe ThIs or Like This.
3. Enjoy yourself. This is creative writing and I very much enjoy reading this sort of poetry so have fun, experiment.
4. Please indicate in the author's notes which option you have chosen and that you have read the rules.
