First off, this is a pay it forward contest, which means the winner (gold) uses the points to start the next pay it forward contest, and so on, and so forth.
Pretty much, I want picture inspired poetry, from one or more of the many pictures I have. I won't be putting a limit on entries, just don't overdo it, okay.
Here's the pictures, captions are above them.
1. I like the color and feeling in this, give me a poem for it.
2. This second piece is one I like by Brian Kershisnik. My poem Mending was inspired by his piece of the same name. Maybe try to figure out what idea or emotion he is conveying in this, and give me a poem about it. This one is called The Curtain.
3. I love Amy Lee, and this is a picture of her that I especially like. Again, I would like a poem trying to get at emotional states, but anything will work if you are inspired.
4. This is one of my favorite pictures, a very simple and romantic one, very sweet. On this picture, please DON'T give me a gay bashing poem, I don't appreciate it, it's my contest, and I will d'q you. This is titled The Kiss.
5. Another Brian Kershisnik picture, I thought this could stir up some interesting poems. It's called We're Just Doing This.
6. These two people are very special to me, give me some poetry, light hearted or whatever, just don't bash them please, or I'll bash you straight back 
.
7. I took this picture, and I think it's pretty cool. Give me some good poems about it.
8. Another person who is very special to me, please treat her nicely. I'm really hoping for poems trying to get at the emotional state or her thoughts in this one, but again, whatever inspires you is fine.
There, all done with the pictures.
Rules:
No really extreme erotica or swearing.
Tell me which pic you used in your authors notes, if it's not really obvious. If I don't know which one it is, I won't d'q, I'll just pm you to find out.
Obviously no pre-written poems are allowed, cause it's supposed to be inspired by these pictures.
Remember, Gold Trophy winner starts the next Pay it Forward Contest!
Have fun, and give me good poetry!
