Now for the contest.
Today i read a poem that got me thinking...about a girl who wanted to be skinny due to an influence of the media. And i was thinking...are we really overun by the Media now....

Do they control our lifes? how we live? what we eat? How we act?

So what i want you to do.
1. leave me a message at the bottom saying you wish to take part and ask for a prompt.
2.You will then be given a prompt which could be anything...but it will be connected to an issue and influence that media causes.
3. then write your poem of NO MORE than 50 lines.
That a MAX of 50. A MIN of 10...yes 10.
4. put your given prompt into the authors boz as prompts will just be given randomly.
5. Then once you have had fun and pleased with your finished item....press the post button *grin*

There are no rules other than MIN of 10 line and MAX of 50...

oh.....and have fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Xx your silenced angel char xX

 

p.s this isnt annoymous....so i will know if you try to sneak in :D
