Let's Have Dinner!

I know this may sound like another contest I'm already having, but it's not. I was talking to a dear AP poet and a question was posed to me. Of course I answered spontaneously as I wanted it to be honest and from the heart. I thought it was such an interesting question, I told her I was going to turn it into a contest. Of course that was some time ago, but I can also admit to being a procrastinator (which I may have a contest about that subject one day soon, yeah right, I said soon...expect a week...or two...or three-lol).

As usual, your entry can be poem or story.

Here's the question (assignment)!


Okay....if you could have dinner
with me anywhere in the world...where
would it be, and why?

(I want to thank this lovely poet for turning this into a creative project).

Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on August 12, 2007
  • Rewards: Gold: 300, Honorable mention: 11 people
  • Final notes:

    First off, I want to apologize about the delay of getting this contest judged! I liked all the entries so much that I decided to give everyone a trophy. My problem is that Allpoetry is not cooperating. I copied all of the entries by the poem numbers and hope I didn't leave anyone off as I also hope I didn't duplicate anyone twice. I read these on an empty stomach, so of course I was starving midway reading the entries. My belly is full now and I'm ready for some hibernation time(lol). I have contacted a couple of mods so they can try to judge this contest for me since the system isn't allowing myself to do it. Thank you everyone for your fabulous entries.

    Sincerely,

    Ted E Bare

    PS: Jut goes to show how tired I truly am! I thought the system wasn't allowing me to judge my contest, but it turns out I forgot how to do it(lol). This past week did take alot out of me. Congrats to everyone of you for making the entries so good!

    Ok....

    Now, I am hungry and want to have dinner. Whether it be with you or by myself. *lol* I can think of a lot of romantic places to have dinner. Now, is this just dinner or a dinner date where it can lead to more.

      I would have love to have taken the credit for the idea, but it was a very special lady who thought of it instead and I decided to turn it into a contest
