Give me six .....

Choose a word of six syllables or more
Write a poem about it.

Any style
No erotica, or foul words. G rated please.
I really don't like the sticky caps thing.
Must be poetry, not prose.

Put the word and the definition in the author's notes please. I hate to do this but I really don't want to have to look them all up.

I will comment on all poems as I close and judge the contest. I am really enjoying the enteries so far! As great as they are I may add more points.

you may enter up to three times



Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on August 27, 2007
  • Rewards: Gold: 500, Silver: 250, Bronze: 100, Honorable mention: 2 people
  • Final notes:
    The give me six contest is over, and while I was disappointed on poem I liked was removed, I enjoyed all the entries very much. I found the two I was most impressed with were also almost mirror opposites, both writes about the value of women. In one I found beauty in truth, and in the other hilarity in a rhythm and flow. Congratulations to them both. The bronze was a free write, I found hauntingly tender. Both honorable mentions also had merit and deserved trophies as well. Thank every one who entered. You all entered interesting words. I enjoyed each entry and the words you all came up with.
