Contest 1 : Title Prompt

I just recently entered a few of those tri word prompt contests, and really enjoyed the creativity they sparked in me...

So, now it's time for me to inspire you! But instead of word prompts, let's try title prompts... The titles will be randomly selected from my growing portfolio on this site.

Let the titles be your muse... Any subject or style is acceptable... The title doesn't need to be the title of your poem...

Ok, now the rules:

1. Please, use spell check... It's there, it's free, so there's no excuse for misspellings... I'm a lousy speller,I use it!

2. Please, no sticky cap writing. It'S REalLy aNNoying!

3.No poems about cutting/self mutilation...

4.Dark poems are fine, but please refrain from the cartoon like violent subject matter that seems to run rampant on this site... Dark writes are a state of mind, not reenacted scenes from gory horror movies...

5.Whatever numbered title you decide to use, please write it out in your author comment box,so I have an idea of where your inspiration came from...


Choose from one of these titles:

1. The Boy Who Never Let Go

2.Blue World Kicking

3.Mood Swinging

4.Like Mud

5.Blamer's Well

6.Revelation

7.Interlude

8.The Summer of Love

9.Affirmation

10.The Downside of Love


That's it!

I will comment on each entry during my judging...

Have fun...

    nice contest! I really like your title "Blamer's well" but I dont think i could throw anything together in such a short time. Thanks for giving me some inspiration though!

      If you ever finish the poem that was inspired from Blamer's Well, I'd be interested in reading it! Thanks for the interest...
