Welcome to another ”Contest By Sinnastarr"
Where every contest is worth more points than the last.
This time around I am offering a total of 800 points and ten trophies.
For this contest I would like you to capture a moment in time, be it personal or historic,frame it, and paint me a picture with your words. I want very vivid imagery here! I want to see it! Really see it! I also want it read elegantly and just roll off the page. I can’t stress the word “vocabulary” enough for this contest, for a good vocabulary with elegance in writing will surely earn your poem a second read.
__________________________THE RULES_________________________
- read everything before you enter!
- must be original.
- must be under 32 lines.( I want your poem to hit hard and fast, thus the line limit)
- no erotic, dirty pretty, rape, or anything of that nature.
- If you write a love poem, please don’t make it cheesy.
- 1 entry per person.
- I like dark, prophetic, clever, and uniquely written poems. The more it makes me think the better. making it rhyme may impress me. (only if done well) Also, dark yet positive poems are very well liked here.
- All other standard contest rules apply ( I'm sure I don't have to list them)
- I will remove your piece if any of these rules are broken, but feel free to enter another piece if this happens.
- Be creative.
_____________________________________________________________________
That’s it! So do you think that you have what it takes and leave your picture burned into my mind forever? To make me feel like it is my own memory? Here is your chance to find out!
As usual I will show all of you the proper respect and comment on every piece. I will also judge the contest promptly after it closes as per the norm with all my contests.
I wish you all the best of luck.

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on December 31, 2007
- Rewards: Gold: 400, Silver: 150, Bronze: 40, Honorable mention: 7 people
- Final notes: Once again I am very pleased, both with the number of entries and the quality of the poems entered in my contest. Out of 76 total entries, 71 made it to the end, and to choose 10 out of 71 great poems was very difficult indeed. Judging was nearly impossible!
For the most part I was torn between deep and powerful poems, to simple yet elegantly written ones. In the end, the winners were a combination of both.
I hope you all get a chance to read the winning 10 pieces.
Again, Thank you all so much for entering my contest.
I hope to see you all in my next contest. The number of points to be awarded in that contest will be 850 points! Also, five trophies will be awarded instead of ten, so big points will be spread all around!
This new contest will open next week and prewrites will be welcome as always.
As usual the points will always go up every contest I host and will never go down,
So look for my name and don't miss out on any of my big point “Contests by Sinnastarr”
