The Rubescent Welts Of Wrath

This is my fifth contest in the series of "Seven Deadly Sins".
Your task here is to use the picture prompt and
the title of the contest to inspire you.

What I'm looking for is:
the personification of this particular sin-WRATH.
Make it come to life along with the prompt color.
Give me a poem, which catches the pure essence
of the sin and the effect of the image prompt.

It would give me great joy to see:

Metaphor,
Personification,
Word Play,
Symbology,
Creativity and Insight at work.

Dark is also appropriate for this theme.
Also-tastefully written Erotica and a sensual touch.

However I do not approve of:
Violence, Sadism,
Self mutilation,
Dirty pretty or Preaching.

All the obvious, expected rules apply-
Don't make me DQ!
I really don't want to!

The line limit start at 10 and ends at 40.
I think that this gives enough freedom
for creativity to utilize your talent.

DO NOT use the theme prompt as your title.
DO give proper CREDIT to the artist
if the image is used in your write:

"Wrath" by Marta Dahlig.

All of the entries will be commented and what is left now is to wish you all Good Luck!

Credit for the amazing background goes to:
Pamela A Lamppa!

Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on March 25, 2008
  • Rewards: Gold: 600, Silver: 500, Bronze: 400
  • Final notes:
    First of all let me thank you all for your participation as I thought all entries were really splendid and carried their own special spark, which made reading them a real pleasure.

    I am just sorry that my co-judge due to pressing circumstances couldn't have the same pleasure.

    The winners deserved their trophies, because they captured both the color and essence of the sin, which was the prompt.

    Once again thank you!
