catch me in the DARKness if you can

my 37th contest at allpoetry. to some a milestone, to others just a drop in the bucket.

 

 

 

 

my recent contest was more than stressful to judge. i didn't know if i was going to host another contest for awhile. then i saw this picture from a friend and knew i had to do it. so here i am.

 

 

 

rules are simple: write about what you can gather from the picture. i counted it continously changes having five frames. you may see it differently. that's your task. write how you see it and how it makes you feel. in any form and any style. closing date tba!

Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on November 26, 2007
  • Rewards: Gold: 337, Honorable mention: 7 people
  • Final notes:
    i want to thank everyone for attempting this contest. i personally plan to write for the picture someday myself. thanks again for making this another great contest to host. i want to shout out to the person for the double sedoka and giving me a poetic education in that style of writing (as it was a great entry to this contest). i wasn't planning on giving honorable mentions in this contest. as for my last contest, i wasn't there either until i read and commented on all the entries. i felt they were well deserved as i do in this contest. just the picture alone was a tough task to tackle and i'm thrilled for the authors in this contest for doing such. i doubt i will host another contest this year, but i have been known to change my mind (i'm just freaky like that). like to see you authors in my next contest when i do decide to host one. congratulations to each of you from my heart, DARK.

    ps: hope each of you and your family and friends a very merry christmas and happy new year

    Dark1,
    Thank you sooooo much for the HM and the very nice comments pertaining to the Double Sedoka. Only recently, I have started writing much form poetry and find it fun and facinating.
    I love you pic prompt....very UNIQUE!!!!
    Congrads to all the winners!
    Take care everyone!
    Many poets here are in my present contest, which is going to be the most dificult contest I've ever judged.....But FUN as WELL
