Simple contest!
Closes some time today!
No reservation needed!
I couldn't sleep last night. I finally fell asleep
after five in the morning and not but three hours
later did I rise and was unable to fall back to sleep.
So what I want from you is to:
Tell me what keeps you up at night.
What reason do you have for not sleeping?
What keeps you from falling into the dreamscape?
Tell me in NO more than 15 lines!
RULES:
No whining
No bitching
No sore losers
No cry babies
No suicide, self harm, cutting or emo
No dirty pretty
No erotica...sensual is fine
No vulgarity
No cliche'
Poetic devices are your friend...USE THEM!
Be brilliant!
Be metaphoric!
I reserve the right to remove any piece
that does not fit, breaks the rules or
simply stands no chance at winning
without reason or warning.
No comments will be guarenteed
on any entry that maybe removed,
so do not IM me asking why.
All comments will be reserved
until final judging is being made.
Ready...
set...
go!

Sleepless nights just one torment, / As I lay in bed thinking of you. / Are you hungry, are you scared, / Does gunfire fly by your head? /by pen-inhand 15 lines, 5 comments, on Jul 24 7:19 PM 2007• Commented on by judge.

No way could I even begin to tell you what keeps me up in only 15 lines. I sleep like 5 hours for the whole week, lol. Good contest though, should be interesting.
-
-
I can understand that. Sometimes we just can't sum it all up in so few words
-
-
I can relate to this.....I shall return
-
-
-
~~~WOW~~~ Cannot tell you how coincidental this is...for I too suffer from night terrors, and only slept 2 hours last night....
-
-
Seems many of us have something that keeps up from sleep
-
-
WOW!
I tell ya... I am with ya...
Went to bed at 1130... finally went to sleep at 1230... woke up at 130... back to sleep at 230 or so and now been up since 4... you ask why...
I have NO CLUE! *sigh* -
-
I've no clue either as to what kept me awake so long
-
-
That's quite a NO list up there
*whispers silently*
you forgot to add the cockroaches and elephant-headed snails
*wanders off*

LEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-tackles you with HUGE hugs-
I've missed you
-cuddles and huggles her pocket full of sunshine-
How's you doing hunny? -
-
Well, A bit tired.
and I miss AP as well
Just another 5 weeks and summer season over here will be over (mostly) so I will have loooooooaaaaads of time then to come around here and stalk everyone (including myself)
almost every time I come here I do some of my duties (which I miss quite a lot too when I'm not able to) so yah
anywho, I just farted and it smells that hard that I can't stay in it
be back in a few minutes or so
-

-
-
MHM.
-
-
Need more!
MORE MORE MORE MORE!!!!!!
That is no where near enough for Lee
-
-
you see I DID have more... but then it stretched the page to like 216438362175571X its original size.
-
-
That's because you didn't break the lines manually
-
-
when sending IMs I don't have to, so I forgot that I needed to here.
lol
-
-
hehe....I forget too sometimes
-
-

Lee you are such a nut!
I can't wait to have you around here more.
I miss chatting with you
Summer needs to hurry up and end!
I want my Lee back! -
-
no. It's too early for summer to end, sorry.
Summer just needs to end for him.
-
-
I want summer to end too.
I am so ready for the kids to go back to school again. At least I'll get a couple of hours of peace that way. -
-
*sighs* actually... I'm fine with summer coming to an end quicker than usual this year because I'm excited to go to [insert S-word - it's forbidden in my household].
-
-
forbidden in your house aye?
and why is that?
-
-
Because my mom is a teacher and she likes her summer break, and then my bros don't want to go back to S****l either.
it's been a forbidden word for years during the summer.
-
-
Well yup that is understandable
as to why it would be forbidden
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
uh oh...
-
thanks for contest as I can relate to this subject only too well as it appears several others do too..maybe it's our over active expressive brains tuned to keep going like the everready bunny does.
-
just a smile for ya!...GETS
The coke is stirring and I can't sleep
I even tried the thing of counting sheep.
My teeth kept grinding and I can't sit still
by the way, where did you put that rolled dollar bill?
What's that noise outside I hear?
'OH my God, the cops are here ...SSSH!
I can't sleep, "I'm an absolute nervess wreck"
hey, can ya loan me fifty till I get my disability check?
There must be something here that I can sell
to get me through this night of hell.
Another bag might do the trick
I better think of something ____QUICK!
My nose is runnin, my mind is spent
the landlords pissed cause I have'nt paid the rent.
Well another night without sleep
I guess I'll try again, ...counting sheep
-
congrats all

Congratulations to the winners
