Anyone who lives within their means suffers from a lack of imagination

Use the picture & your imagination

Or use the next quotes. Put the quote at end of your poem please.(Or look up Oscar Wilde quotes & pick one, only Oscar Wilde though)

"Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth."
Oscar Wilde

"A cynic is a man who knows the price of everything but the value of nothing."
Oscar Wilde

"A true friend stabs you in the front."
Oscar Wilde

"All bad poetry springs from genuine feeling."
Oscar Wilde

Thanks, enjoy!!

Oh and remember----
"A poet can survive everything but a misprint."
Oscar Wilde

Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on April 14, 2007
  • Rewards: Gold: 300, Silver: 150, Bronze: 90, Honorable mention: 4 people
  • Final notes:
    Ok first off... I ended this early, just cause I could.
    And also, I firstly, put my non-pre-writes in order of favourites, then I did it with the pre-writes. Sorry, I just thought it would be cool way to judge.
    Kind of like two seperate contests, hehe. Like the pre-write were secondly done as new ones, cause I decided before I opened this, that new poems would win major trophies. But check your order, if u want.
    I added more honorable mentions, cos u all had beautiful poems. Thanks.



    Hope you guys understood that.

    i like the pic and i love Oscar Wilde. my fave. quote from him is "Life is too short to dance with ugly men!" but it's too happy/funny for my poetry mood right now or i'd use it...
    anyway...great contest!
