A concussion.

5-10 lines about exactly how you felt at the point of an injury, focus on the pain, not the events surrounding it, i don't want a story about it, simply a poetic description of the pain.
None of this dirty pretty writing stuff.
Be creative, think carefully and enjoy writing, don't worry about how it rolls, just let the genius flow out of you and for gods sake don't be too miserable else you bring me down with you, and not too corny else i throw up.

Mostly have fun, I'd rather judge sooner than later too, so this thing peaks at 5 entries, all the more chance of winning,

Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on August 26, 2007
  • Rewards: Gold: 300, Silver: 50, Bronze: 50
  • Final notes:
    Oh, well, I'll just copy and paste.

    My bad, first contest.

    I was worried about who i was going to put in first and second, and i might get some criticism, but this is how i felt the poems should result and i think I've done nothing but judge fairly, I'm happy with the poem i put in third, first and second were difficult, first was more to the point of what i was looking for but i felt second definitely deserved a finalist spot, as i felt it to be a rather creative piece and a piece that was not only pleasantly surprising but well thought out.
    I enjoyed reading all the poems, sorry to the two that didn't make my final 3, id like to thank you all for entering.

    cheers

    Closing soon

    If this doesn't get it's fifth member tonight i'm going to close it now, shame really, a competition for only 5 applicants you'd think a fifth would enter considering the odds of winning.
    *shrugs*
    Well, more of a chance for the rest of you,

    Good luck,

    I'm gonna close it in er.....say a few hours i think.

    Peace x
