Life is a Metaphor??

OK guys. this contest is mainly about metaphors, but dont worry! I have other options too...

this be my second contest and I am, for the most part, satisfied with my other contest. I really do think taht you guys can do better though!

Options:
1. METAPHOR- enter something withholding metaphors. make me...think hard to get it (I will ask if I can't, so leave me a comment in the box wiht your option # and your poem's title).

2. NATURE- write me a poem about nature, nature and you, animals, animals in nature, or why you like/ dislike(D nature

3. IMAGERY- tricky guys- enter me a poem that has good description and imagery. I am a fan for imagery and if you can get me into your mind **make me see through your eyes** you will defineately get added to the finalests list. ITS GOTTA KNOCK ME DOWN THOUGH ^.^



Rules:
1. no erotica
2. you must leave the option number and your poem's title in the comment box so I can organize myself here
3. also, write " =(^.^)= " ((kitty face)) in the box so that I know you have read teh rules.
4.I WITHHOLD THE RIGHT TO DQ YOU IF YOU DO NOT FOLLOW THE RULES
5. no poems under 10 lines


what goes down well:
~ryhme- I LOVE RYHME. I LOVE YOU IF YOU CAN RYHME!

~dark poetry is perfered. I wont hold it against you if its not, but.... you might want to condiser (unless its one of the options)


what doesnt go down well:
~DISOBEYING// NOT READING TEH RULES!

      I think misc. is the toughest arena judging by the ghost ship poem
      and considering it's open content

    screw the "=^.^=" crap... make your rules more clear next time, cuz i read them and didn't even pick that up cuz i thought that it was just random symbols. You basically dq'ed me for no reason.

    I got dq'd

    maybe I read the instructions wrong...but i put the kitty in the comments section..plz scroll down...I think if I read the rules well enough to pick up that the kitty needed to be in there at all. then I shouldn't have been dq'd..Again..my kitty face is below..where it says right after my first comment oops forgot the kitty face and i posted it there.
