Truth Of Life contest Round TWO (invite only)

Ok, congrats to all who advanced, and good luck.

Same this round as last, just less competition, which means more required from you. I'd love to see more new poems, but I won't require that until the fourth round. By then, I'm doubting anyone will have poems to continue their theme.

Which brings me to your THEME. I want you to have a definite theme you plan on using for all the poems, something to link each of your own poems to each other.

So rules are:
1. Put your username in the authors box, so that no newbies can join.
2. Put your theme in the authors box, this can be either a word, or short explanation, whatever works best.
3. Ok I have no third rule really, but try to impress me, and in order to do that, you really have to pay attention to what I like.

2nd round invitees:
Kiusha, luciferschild, jojozgr82, AngieMarie, Jovie, Unrequited Writer, Trista, Dylanheanylaiho, A Simple Wordsmith, snowboardingnut, Sallysunshine94, The Morning Sage, Laura Lamarca, Tabbykat10988, Deathbyfrootloopsxx, Lady-Desdinova, coffeeangel316, Pruedence, Countrybabe, GizmoBob, whoochi, BeyondRepair, RockerChick2810, Thrilla N9nna 503, pixxiepoetess, DragonBlue, DeadlyTurnip, Countrychick06, Killed by this love, writingismything, Noah20Tymatal, Xgeekdreamgonewrong, blondone, Killer2Loner.

Good luck, follow the rules!

Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on July 15, 2007
  • Rewards: Gold: 500, Silver: 200, Bronze: 100
  • Final notes:
    Ok that was hard to judge. So there was 22 advancing, but apparently jojozgr82 removed their poem. So the top 21 are in order in the finalists... actually 9-13 were ties, 14-17 also... The top three all got the same points out of 10 but I obviously had to pick an order. Sorry to Killed by this Love, Countrybabe, Thrilla N9nna 503, lady desdinova, killer2loner and CountryChick06. Good luck to all others in the next rounds, I hope to post it soon!

    I like the drawing of Amy Lee, there.
    did you draw it or was it off the internet??
    hopefully I'll be able to think of something to write... thanks again!!

    I dont think I can keep writing "suicide" poems - though I have prewrites of them.
