Alright, down to business. Only one rule. Must write about one of the options and put the option number in your author's comment box. Well, that would be infact two rules. But, not too hard, right?
Option #1:
Write about rain. Anything about rain. How it makes you feel. What it reminds you of. Anything about rain in any perspective.
Option #2:
K, you really got to impress me with a really emotional write. "wow" me with words. Just put so much heart and soul into it that it'll make me cry or be angry.
Option #3:
Use which ever line you can be inspired by in your poem, either as the title or in your poem.
1.Broken angels fall from shattered dreams
2.Scars are stories, history written on the body
3.A dark sullen lullaby
4.Beneath firery skies
5.Echos of my past
6.Maybe one day...things might be different
7.Infectious smile
8.A few bumps in the road turn to cliffs and mountains
9.Pain...just another knife in the side, just another heartbreak, just another cut.
10.And when words aren't enough
11.Driving away from your problems
12.When were things ever this complicated
13.Whoever said life gets better is wrong, pain just subsides for a breef moment.
14.Then end will be a result of the domino effect
15.Let me go, let me fall
16.Brace yourself
17.You just gotta brace yourself And drag the blade a bit deeper, Close your eyes, Release a tear, And do it again
18.Pray to God it kills her
Option #4:
Ok, usually I wouldn't allow this, but what the heck. Go ahead and write a heart ache poem or something like that.
Option #5:
If you know the south, then write about the south. Rainy summer days that wash more muddy clay into the Mississippi.
That's about it folks, I'll prolly add more to this later. Enter as much as you want and pre-writes are allowed. Hopefully I don't regret it.
oh yeah, PLEASE KEEP PREWRITES TO A MINIMUM!!!!
K, have fun and all that jazz. On with you.
