Well, well well!
This is my very first contest on AP and I am asking for quality writes here.
The prompt is based on the picture 'reborn' and I want decent writes about what this makes you think.
I am not a fan of religious poetry- so think beyond that limited avenue...
What would you like to be if given a chance to be reborn?
Take it from there.
10-20 lines only! (less or more accepted but not excessive, please!)
No immediate entries as this contest is for two weeks and has space for forty entries IE- put a bit of thought into it!
I enjoy metaphor- but not just for the sake of it-
IE- do not write me a load of nonsense strung together that means jack...
RULES:
no rubbish, please- well thought out poetry is required
no poems about cutting etc as the prompt does not suggest this
no rubbish chat/ texty writing
no typos, check grammar
ten to twenty lines only!
freeverse is best- but rhyme if you want
I reserve the right to take pieces out if they don't meet my criteria
no whining- no nastiness- play nice- comment on each others entries if you have time

AND! try to keep this anonymous..........
EXTENDED 'TILL MAY 8th!
Also allowing pre-writes now- very disappointed with the amount of entries.
Sooooo- pre-writes or fresh on rebirth.

Please do!- I forgot to add in the rules that I don't want any 'earnest bookmarkers' in the comments section.
You either submit an entry, or you don't...I am not a fan of empty promises!!
