Take A Sip Of Inspiration

Hi there everyone!


A contest by me and Laura Lamarca.



Laura and I were just having a chit-chat and she came up with an amazing line:







-x-

"Experience is given to each of us to teach others.

and I replied


"Attempting for something means there is a fruit, there is always a fruit."

-x-





So, it's your job to use these two quotes as prompts and pen us a great and beautiful poem.

Poetic devices, engaging and vivid imagery, and beautiful structure is required to make us impressed.






Rules

~ No erotic, adult and abuse.
~ No bashing.
~ Use sensible fonts.
~ Be creative.




Thanks to Laura for 500 points for the gold.



Go and write!
