MANY OPTIONS!

Hey guys! Another great movie, another fun contest! This time around, I want poems based off of the awesome movie "Across the Universe." I don't care if you hate the Beatles (I myself am not too huge a fan), you should watch this movie. But anyway, onto the options:

1. Write from a song from the movie. NO TITLES. NO COPYING LYRICS. Just use the lyrics to inspire you. *YOU MUST PUT THE SONG YOU USED AND THE LYRICS THAT INSPIRED YOU IN YOUR AUTHOR NOTES*

2. Write from the movie's story itself. It is an amazing story of love, life, and everything in between in the '60's. *YOU MUST PUT WHAT PART OF THE STORY YOU ARE WRITING ABOUT UNLESS IT IS UNBELIEVABLY OBVIOUS IN YOUR POEM*

3. Use the title "Across the Universe" as your title.

4. For instrumental songs, write from what you feel listening to the music.

    I apologize for clicking on this feature. I did not realize it was a contest. This is the second time this has happened to me this week. I wish you the best of luck with your contest and take care.

    I'm really sorry no-one else entered this, struck me as a great idea for a contest and I featured it often enough!
