10 entries. 10-20 lines. Prompts.

Wakingdevil and I are teaming up to host a quick contest.


Free verse only.

Metaphors are your best friends.

10 entries

10-20 lines

Prompt: Choose one.

1] The mirrored heart
2] Solstice
3] A Teaspoon of Realism
4] Beheading Naivete
5] Chasing beasts of the jungle
6] Urbanized
7] To be novel in endless chapter
8] Melted Tongues
9] Black bones


Put which one(s) you used in your notes.
DO NOT use any of the prompts as your title.
Avoid using them word for word in your poem...if you do, it's not a big deal...but if you don't use it...it proves you were more creative.

Good luck.



PS. Points will increase depending on the quality of entries.
Just increased them
