Hello all and welcome to another contest *smiles*
I love holding contests, not only are they fun and produce amazing pieces of poetry for me to read, they also let me look at subjects through another persons point of view ... actually, this is what I want most of all from this contest.
Now, what I want you to do is to visit this link:
http://allpoetry.com/poem/2829750
There you will find a very short piece of unfinished writing ... you don’t have to comment on it ... what you have to do is finish it.
Yes ... I ran out of inspiration when I was writing it ... they are the only words that came out ... so instead of driving myself crazy trying to make it longer and say what I was thinking at the time ... I thought it would be fun to see what points of view the other lovely poets of AP could come up with.
Now ... let me be explicit with the rules for this contest ... failure to comply with these rules will result in disqualification.
DO NOT change the words, or the formatting in any way - yes, this includes the parts in brackets because that is part of the poem.
DO NOT have any grammatical, spelling or any other type of mistake (now I’m not being mean here ... you will get ONE chance to fix any mistake I find in your work ... if it isn’t fixed by judging time then you will be disqualified)
DO NOT write in chat-speak
DO NOT message me and ask if I can allow pre-writes ... I really don’t see how they could fit into this contest.
Now ... apart from that this is a remarkably open contest ... have fun with it and know that I can’t wait to see your wonderful writings!
Stay smiling everyone

All my poetry is about guilt, but I've expended my capacity for new pieces for the next few weeks. Wish I could enter a prewrite.
-
I'm confused about whether we need to include the stuff in the parenthesis.
-
-
Yes ... the lines in the brackets are part of the poem, therefore need to be included.
-
-
This is a really deep poem but I have one question, does it matter what customized backgroundwe use?
-
I enjoyed this contest quite a bit. This was much fun...thank you for the new ideas of the parenthesis. Fun fun fun!!!
