Just Another Contest You Won't Look At Or Are You Proving Me Wrong?!?

Hi. I don't care who you are. Let me get to the point of what I am looking for. I have options. Suck me into your poem, I want to get lost in it. I have been going through a lot and I am looking for escape. I'm crazy about rythme, it gets me everytime. If you have any quuestions, send me a message, or leave me a comment. I'll get back to you a.s.a.p.

** I might be adding more options. If you have an idea, run it by me. Just tell me in the NOTES which one you chose! thanks!

1. Elelctrical storms: how do you feel when you see it? Why does it make you feel alive.

2. Pick a Color. In author's notes, tell me the color you picked. So, no--- it doesn't have to be the title of your poem.

3. Write about your favorite song. In author's notes, give me the lyrics though, in the author notes. Please and thank you!

4. Prayer's for extreme suffering.
I'm talking about abuse and neglect and serious pain.

5. Hope and Love. I will pay more attention to this if you write about it. It has to deal with the fourth one. So yes, they go hand in hand.

6. raw emotion. go wild and let it be raw. this is the only option that I will allow erotica.

7. Losing a friend

8. a funny experience you had in band...you know that goes...

!@#$ RULES !@#$
- no StIcKy CaPz
- use spell check & proper puncuation
** my contests are mainly about socializing and making friends and talking and improving skill. So comment on other poems [mine or poems in the contest]. Let me know in your author's notes!!!!


MOST IMPORTANT:. Have fun
and please enter!

Sincerly
The Angry Goth

Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on July 12, 2007
  • Rewards: Gold: 800, Honorable mention: 9 people
  • Final notes:
    Now, please don't hate me for this. I wanted to see how well others could write by "Right Off the Top of their Head" ... Wow, I had a lot of pre-writes! A lot of them were very well done! I also had to go through about 70 entries.
    This was awesome. So I am thanking all of you! If you didn't get a trophy and were supposed to, let me know. I will fix it. I should have points to give out, I have plently, but not a lot "a lot" if you know what I mean.
    I once again thank everyone who entered. I have never had such luck with contests! All of you did beautifully, thank you (again) and keep writing.

    Best Wishes. The Angry Goth
