Option #8
Go to www.myspace.com/seventhseptember
and listen to their music. Then pick a song and write about it. [if you choose this option, put what song you chose along with the option number in your author's notes.]

Okay, that's it for now, I may add more if I feel like it.

Now for the dreaded rules...

1. No erotica.
2. Keep swearing at a minimum.
3. Please use proper grammar and spelling.
4. Put what option you chose in your author's notes.

A few tips:
a. I prefer shorter poetry, I have a short attention span these days.
b. I like to read rhyme, if it doesn't sound forced.
c. Have fun, I'll be able to tell if you enjoyed writing the piece.
