Oh, the possibilities!

I've EXTENDED the contest because of lack of entries... you can now submit prewrites and both poems & lyrics are allowed on all the options!!!

PLEASE ENTER - I have chocolate chip cookies!

Inspirations:
1) write something inspired by a song from any of the artists mentioned on my author's page (there's a lot of them)...and please provide me with the lyrics

2) write about love, stars & sky, hope, nature...

3) word bank (don't have to use all of them, just ONE is fine):
epiphany, euphoric, azure, universe, falter, train wreck, fireflies

4) and just for some self-appreciation... write a poem inspired by one of MY poems (and comment on said poem please...)

5) The movies Say Anything (pictured) or Amelie

Rules:
No sticky caps
Try to edit as best as you can (i.e. good grammar & no spelling errors)

my preferences:
original thought
emotional
underlying elegance
clarity

have fun!
and please put the word: "blink of an eye" or "I WANT CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES!" to show that you've read the rules and such...

  • Final notes:
    Thanks to all those who entered my contest...I read so many great poems and I wish that you all could've gotten something. I did comment on everyone's poem and tried to give some positive feedback. Again, I was so pleased that there was so much talent in all the poems that I read.

    You can basically tell my tastes from the winners and I hope that everyone who reads this message will take the time to read the finalist poems.

    Thanks again for entering and a special "thank you" to those who did NOT enter a prewrite!
