Hello everyone!
This is my first contest made, so I apologise if I make any mistakes. And if so,please let me know.
Basicaly, I want this contest to be as open as possible. I don't like to put a limit
to creativity...everybody have different ways of expressing their emotions in poetry, and
different people like writing about diferent things! Therefore I thought I would put quite
a few options for you all. The options are on subjects I am personally most interested in. Here they are.
http://jonnywedge.deviantart.com/art/for-the-ladies-298110
1) Take a look at the picture above and write about whatever comes to mind. Whatever it
makes you feel and think, and inspires you to write.
2) Write a poem to yourself. It can be you in the past, presant, the future or all 3 :-]
3) Write about whoever or whatever inspires you the most in life. It can be someone in your family,
a friend, your children, your pets, your fave celebrity/poet, your fave place. Just whomever
or whatever inspires you most!!
4) Write about lost love, broken hearts,betrayal, and any emo type of thing.
5) Write about abuse and the effects [esp. child abuse as it is a subject close to the heart]
6) Write about mental illnes, such as Depression, Anxiety, etc.
7)Write about what you think life is all about. Maybe it's love? Music? Anything that personally make you happy to live.
RULES:
1) nO sTiCkY lOcK or txt tlk k?
2) Please try to use the best grammar and spelling you can
3) There must be at least 10 lines
4) No Erotica/Porn type poem
5) Children are allowed to enter..but there may be some content not suitable,
so it's up to the careers to make up their minds :-]
7)Dirty Pretty is allowed, but again no Erotica or Porn!
8) Pre-written is allowed, as long as they are related to one of the options.
Please put which option you have chosen in the autors notes.
9) You may enter 2 poems..but no more than 2.
I will be judging by emotion and how real it feels. If it makes me think "wow" and gives me lots of imagery, you're in for a great chance! :-] But most importantly I want you to have fun! :-]
Points for winning a trophy will go up as I earn more points. And I may change the "close for judging" date - depending how many enteries I get as we go along.
