Hello dear children, it's time for another Kendalia contest. Fun times!
Rules first:
-USERNAME IN AUTHOR'S NOTES!
-NO crazy punctuation [unless properly placed]
-NO Clichés
-ONLY poetry and prose. No lyrics or short stories.
-NO religious poems
-NO rhyming poetry
-Left aligned
-I read all but I may not comment all.
-This is my contest, if I don't like it and DQ your piece don't bitch to me!
-Write me something beautiful. I want to drown in imagery.
Recently, my world was invaded by Nirvana. I've always liked them but now I'm obsessed! The one song that's been replayed the most is Heart Shaped Box. I want you to write pieces inspired by these lyrics (how do they make you feel? what do you envision in your head when you listen to the song?) or what YOU think they mean. I've heard two theories but I'm more interested in how YOU INTERPRET the song.
(HINT HINT relate this song to your life if you want to write something worthwhile!)
If you don't have this song on CD or your computer shame on you but I have something to help (aren't I such a nice person?) I've found an awesome website that can fix that problem for you (expect you have to join it to listen to the music, no biggie): imeem.com
Heart Shape Box by Nirvana:
"She eyes me like a pisces when I am weak
I've been locked inside your Heart Shaped box, for weeks
I've been drawn into your magnet tar pit trap
I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn black
Hey!
Wait!
I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
hey
wait
I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hey!
Wait!
I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
...your advice
Meat-eating orchids forgive no one just yet
Cut myself on Angel Hair and baby's breath
Broken hymen of your highness I'm left black
Throw down your umbilical noose so I can climb right back
Hey!
Wait!
I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
hey!
Wait!
I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hey!

I wish I could Eat your cancer when you turn black
Hey!

[IF YOU USE ANY OF THESE LYRICS IN YOUR PIECE I WILL BITE YOUR FUCKING HEAD OFF!]
Give me raw beauty.

-
ice and salt on skin, isnt that a form of self injury? o.O
-
-
I believe so. I choose it as the contest title just because I like the word combination.
-

Hmmm.. My fave song on GH 2, but I especially love the Evanescence version... don't ask ow I came across it... It's a great song
-
-
Not a fan of Evanescence anymore, but I'll search for it.
I heard Flyleaf's version of Smells like Teen Spirit... it made me want to hurl.
you should most defffff enter my contest
-
-
crap, I missed the deadline. how sad, though, that you only got three entries.
thats no fun.
-
-
I've reopened it and I think you should enter!
-
-
ammmmmmmazing!
i will definitely do that
-
-
-
i absolutely love nirvana but there is NO way i could write anything to do that song justice, it would turn out horrible. Nirvana was such an amazing band- Kurt Cobain's lyrics are so full of meaning and symbolism... it bothers me sometimes when people take his words the wrong way, but thankies for having a coolio contest like this.
=D -
-
I could never write a poem based on their lyrics too! that's why I had the contest to see if it could be done!
speaking of their lyrics, I've been to a couple websites and read fights between people over what they think songs mean. hahaha some of them are so funny!
