NOTE: THIS CONTEST HAS BEEN EXTENDED BY 3 DAYS
You are going to take me to someplace I've never been. "How?" you say. By the awesome power of your pen! Yes, I've been on a trip around the world and through time and it is the poets of AP that have been taking me on this wonderful journey.
Now I'm ready to travel to the next fabulous location on my world tour. Are you?
The place you wll take me for this contest is Spain. I want you to take me there with your poem. I want to feel it, see it, experience the emotions of it. It can be modern Spain or the Spain of antiquity or any other time in history. It can be the Spain of reality or the idealized, romanticized Spain of your imagination. Just make me feel it. I'm giving you enough time to research it if you want. You have enough time to create something I can see, feel, experience. Just don't make it read like a school sociology or geography report. Make it poetry! Use imagery to write the emotions of being there.
Rules:
Keep it clean please.
Anonymous Contest: don't reply to or rate my comments until after the winners are awarded
Line limit: at least 5 but may be more
No prewrites
HMs may be added
Please don't entitle your poem "Spain" (that includes "Espania") (You are more creative than that!)
Suggestions:
Use imagery, originality, metaphor, poetic devices.
This isn’t a quickie so take the time to pen excellence in verse. (I’m making it worth your effort)
And now............TAKE ME TO SPAIN!
