Dear all,
I'm back to set working on a new contest. Write anything you want on the following topics-
1. Rooftops
2. Barking
3. Hairdressers
4. Tin cans
5. Lines
6. Perspectives
7. Rastafari
8. Rainy day is sunny
9. Papercuts
10. Buttons
The point is to see who thinks out of the box. Even if you literally intepret things, do it with style.
Experience the poetry you deliver. Feel every word you write. I know there is talent out here,
otherwise I wouldn't be asking people to write. Now let those words flow out of you.
Ooops!!! There are rules!
a) Word count not to be exceeded:
Poetry (any form) - 15 lines
Short Stories or Essays - 250 to 300 words
b) artwork is allowed. Anything else your creativity demands can be done too. Just don't make any add-lines. It should be a completely original piece of work.
c) the contest doesn't deserve bad grammar or spelling, unless it has a viable right to exist.
d) Do it for fun and the love you have for poetry.
e) Write which topic you chose, and two lines about yourself in the Notes space.
HAVE FUN
Love,
Sam.

1 : Kiss on cheek

OK, I'm in 8th grade and I started going out with a guy named Jake. Of Course he was so damn Hot! One day, I was out for a walk by myself, and ended up at his house. His mom knew me so she just let me in and said Jake was in his room. I said ok, and walked to Jake's room. I open the door and what do I see!! I see him making out with my BESTFRIEND!! I was so upset all I did was slap him and ran out of the room. I still feel bad and hurt, I'm still single, but have a crush on my new best friend Jerimiah. My family calls me Allie, and Jerimiah the 3 amigos, because we're all best friends. Allie says Jerimiah likes, me but he wont ask me out cause he's scared of rejection. If he ever reads this which I'm guessing he wont, I would never reject him, because I can't believe I'm saying this but I LOVE HIM!

Well my boyfriend and I had been dating a while. It was almost his 18th birthday and he wasn't planning on doing anything. I was supposed to be going to a week long camp that week and then immediately leaving for California the day I got back, his actual birthday. I ended up not going to camp so that I could plan a suprise party for him. I contacted all of his friends, including the ones that I didn't really like, and invited them all to a bbq and dance party at my house. Everyone was in on it... and somehow I was able to manage not speaking, calling, or texting him for five days even though I could. I ended up driving to his house and picking him up for a movie, which he wasn't expecting because he thought I was still at camp. Already suprised he wasn't expecting anything else. But when we pulled up to his house, there were all of his friends waiting. After the bbq we went to my house and I held a dance party. Everything was going great! Or so I thought. The next night I was in my car with my family on our way to California. We were going out for my Grandma's cancer walk-a-thon and to see my Great Grandpa who was in the hospital dying, so I was already pretty emotionally distressed. Then he texted me saying he thought we should break up. The night after I'd thrown him this huge party, on my way to see my dying Great Grandpa, via text. So the next day while I was at my Grandma's walk-a-thon he called me to talk about it and find out what I thought. Obviously I didn't like the idea. He continued to "just talk about it" and not actually break up, but after many attempts of trying to convince him otherwise, it was obviously happening, so even though he didn't consider it over, I did. So we were in the hospital visiting my Great Grandpa and my little brothers and sisters couldn't handle seeing him the way he was, so I took them out. My youngest brother was eight at the time and was asking me if Papa was going to die. So the four of us were sitting in the loby crying, when I get a text from my boyfriend... who I was sadly considering my ex-boyfriend... that says Happy Anniversary, I love you. Talk about the worst timing. We ended up not officially breaking up until after I came home from California and he came over and was all cuddly. When I took him home I told him that I couldn't handle him saying one thing and doing another. He said that he did want to end it, but was waiting for me to be ok with it. I told him I would never be ok with it. I ended it then. I was so mad at him for being a coward and making me do it for the longest time. We broke up a little over a year ago now. He's had five relationships since, I've had none. We're still friends; we hang out every once in a while and text each other almost every day. He comes to me for advice about family, school, friends, and painfully girls. I still love him. I'm going off to College now, hoping that the distantce and new scene will change that. But somehow, considering that since the break up I've already moved and made new friends, I'm thinking that it never will.

when i was in 7th grade, i dated a guy named Dayna. people would make fun of him in the hallway because of his name. then i felt sorry for him so i asked him if he wanted to go on a date. "he is totally a nerd Ana" my friend said. "what ever" i said back. we went to a fancy restaraunt, after dinner, i asked him to be my boyfriend, he said that he already had a girlfriend and apoligized to me, then left.he told me he was dating my best friend. i was so hurt and embarrased that i told my cousin to beat him up. so on sunday my 18 year old cuz punched him in the face. and on monday he came up to me and said "im moving because of you." for the rest of the school day, i acted so guilty, but when i got home, i started laughing my head off. then i said to myself,"no one will ever play me again."

Damn. I met the most amazing guy ever, named Sam. We at first were just friends, you know. We didn't know anything was there. But then, Sam told me he really wanted to hang out sometime; hang out with me and my friend Sarah. So we were like yeah for sure. We went out to lunch, and then Sam and I hung out the next weekend just us. And thats when I discovered he was the most amazing person in the WORLD and i could talk to him about anything. Getting on him was amazing too- he was so kinky and awesome. But he was bi, and had been with guys for the past 2 years. But that was okay with me, I think I'm a little bi myself...
. Sam was incredible, and I'm sure if things hadn'tve changed, I would have fallen in love with him. For sure. But he went to camp, and basically I won't see him until November.. if I even see him again. All I have to say is.... bad timing, and we just discovered each other too late.

Okay so there was this guy right and i really really liked him and he like me. So we decided to meet up so he could actually ask me out in person. Well we met up but he didn't ask me out, though his friend that was with him was really cute. Anyways he ends up asking this other girl out and said it was all because we would never see eachother even though we ended up hanging out more than them.

Okay...so I'm fifteen. Right? right! anyways i had been dating the same guy for about 3 years. He was totally into me. I knew he had been a little odd. but i never rly thought anything of it. He would always tell me how sexy i was and how hott i was. anyways i skate, snowboard, reppell, zip line, jump off cliffs, and other intense sports. I am a girl who loves to play dirty and get it dirty and hard. One day he leaves me a message saying about how i am too intense for him and he thinks i am going to kill myself and that i am suicidal. Which is a little bit true cause i do cut down the road [not accross]. He said he rly cares about me but not in that way and that he's leaving me for his brother's old boyfriend. I mean that bi bastard.

May I please know what is the point of you typing this comment in my contest. I would surely love to read it, but I don't find it commenting or talking anything about this contest. And where is your poem?

Sam, you are a very nice girl.

the only thing I see with this contest that keeps me from entering, is the line limit. When I start writing, it just comes. I can't force myself to stop at a certain point. Either way, hope you get lots of great entries.
