Mostly this contest is about you.
Options:
1)) Write to your past or your future. Not in a letter form- be creative. You do not have to use "you" and "I" -you can also describe an incident.
2)) Describe yourself from someone (or something) else's perspective
3)) What do you think of and how do you feel looking back at your life? proud? remorseful?
4)) What are you made of? (Interpret that however you wish) / What is the story to why you are who you are?
5)) Use the picture above.
Or:

Please clarify which option you chose!
RULES
**Although PW's are allowed, if I have commented on them before this contest, or if they have already won gold, then please do not enter them.
**PLEASE DO NOT REPLY TO COMMENTS I post on your poem (I would like to keep this contest ANONYMOUS).
**I am very loose with actual content of the poems- I wouldn't want to limit creativity- be dark, be happy, be gory, be witty, be whatever- but if you're poem is lengthy, please keep it intriguing.
NOTE: I am a huge fan of PERSONIFICATION and METAPHORS and any sortof conceptual writing.
Having these in your poems definitley scores in my book.
Good Luck!

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on February 8, 2008
- Rewards: Gold: 300, Silver: 200, Bronze: 100, Honorable mention: 5 people
- Final notes: First off, let me apologize for judging so late- alot came up and I was foolish enough to think I could balance it all.
Secondly, I would like to say, this was the first contest I hosted, and I was very impressed at the quality of these entries. All of you did great, it is not a reflection on your skill as a poet if I didn't reward it- it was very hard judging and choosing my finalists.
Though I've viewed all of them, due to time, there are still a few I haven't commented (mostly the later entries), but plan on doing so.
Now then- CONGRATS to all the winners:
gold- you took such an interesting viewpoint of the image- your creativity amazed me
silver- your writing is absolutely incredible
bronze- you made me feel and smell my childhood through your own memories- this piece just literally warmed me.
Honorable mentions, I can HONESTLY say, you all deserve to tie with the gold/bronze/silver trophies.
Thank you all so much for sending in such beautiful entries!!
~Best Wishes,
Cordelia
