DFI Round 2 ~ Short and Sweet

Welcome to DFI Round 2!

DON'T
FEAR
INK

I have randomly selected you guys and gals to be put into 2 teams. In this round, you must earn points for your team. The team with the most points wins "immunity" and the losing team loses a team member! I will be judging your poems like this:

Imagery: 1 point
Theme: 1 point
Use of Form/Flow: 1 point
Other criteria: 1 point
Overall Appeal: 1 point

Individual poems earn points, and those points are added to the total team score.

Twist - The person that wins gold wins "individual immunity". If he or she is from the winning team, they do not have to participate in the next round, and they automatically move on. If he or she is from the losing team, they are immune from being kicked off. This is how it will be from now on until the big MERGE!!!

Plus, there will be a twist every round.

So check out your teams...

Team Ballader:

Heavenly Angel
L.a.
Reikon
Laura Lamarca
Darkrunn
MJ Donnelly
xorandomxo
Kissing The Rain
DeAnges

Team Sonneteer:

Amera
Viva La Vie Boheme
Karamel Kandy
Idle Mind Wondering
Lost-In-Lust
Fug-azi
dreamersalwayslive
NiccyNightmare
DarkenedAuras

Your prompt this round: Write a poem with up to 20 words. Pack a punch without saying much!

Okay, so get writing! Remember, this contest ends in a week, so Don't Fear Ink... Let it flow!!!

~~~

Team points:

Ballader - 28 points
Sonneteer - 33 points

Way to go Sonneteer!!!

      Don't worry. If you're below 20 words, I'll accept it. But if you have even 21 words... I'll have to have your team come after you with torches and pitchforks.

      Good luck!

    Crap, I left pre-writes open. Ah well. Doubt that most people would have 20 word pre-writes.

        Okay. I didn't realize I left it open until someone else entered a pre-write... It doesn't really matter.
