Options:
1. Confusion (especially an "at a crossroads" type theme)
2. Envy/Jealousy (paticularly of someone you care about, someone you want to be happy)
3. Love for something. Meaning not a person.
4. Numbness or Apathy.
5. Lonliness. Solitude.
6. Longing. Wishful. (Cannot be sexual)
7. Any combination thereof.
Rules:
1. Spelling. Is. Your. Friend. (No chatspeak, no major screw ups, no weird caps, no obvious typos. Check your work.)
2. Prewrites are allowed.
3. NO EROTICA.
4. Rhyming, free write, etc. Whatever you want. I don't know anything about form. Feel free to use it, just don't expect me to understand it.
5. I'm not too fond of dirty pretty, but if you must.
6. One entry per person.
7. Please put the option number in your author's notes.
No, I will not increase points. To me, wining points is never the point of writing, and it should not be your motivation in entering. Plus, I don't really have any more. xD
Most of my comments are positive unless I don't like it at all.
NOTE: I might not judge for a while. My computer crashed. I'll do it as soon as I can.

If I've already entered a prewrite and then I write another poem using a different option can I enter that as well?
-
-
Sorry. I'd prefer just one entry per person. But if you do a fresh write and decide you'd rather enter it, you can take out your prewrite.
