Truth of Life contest Round ONE

Ok, so I haven't had a contest in a while, mostly because I've been saving up points for this.

Most of you probably haven't even heard of me before, which is fine. I hope this contest lets me know a few of you.

Pre-writes ARE allowed, but FOLLOW THE RULES.

There are no specific themes that I am following, but I will only allow pre-writes for the first 3 rounds.

NOTE: All your entries into these rounds MUST follow a theme.

In this contest, I don't even care about finding perfect rhythm or content or flow. BUT it MUST be good!

RULES RULES RULES RULES RULES:

1. Put your USER NAME in the AUTHORS BOX, for prewrites, it's not hard, just do it.

2. Only enter if you intend to see the whole contest through, all of the rounds you advance to.

3. Any style works, rhyming, free verse, haiku, BUT it MUST be good.

4. YOUR entries must follow a theme. I don't need to have a written out theme, but I should be able to follow it.

5. USER NAME IN AUTHORS BOX!

Ok, just so you know, I'll be cutting about a third out each time.


OH YAH, make it good.

The WINNER of the final round will get 2,000 points.
