Pic Inspired-Beautiful

http://raipun.deviantart.com/art/The-birth-of-Venus-40717118


After spending much time on line looking at different pics, I found this amazing picture.  I was captivated by it the moment I saw it.

I am hoping to awaken any sleeping muse that may be lying out there. I would love to see the beauty of this picture put to words. I have seen some truly amazing writes out there and I have no question the talent is overflowing. SHOW IT TO ME!!!

The option of more points and places is there if I see the need or desire.

I love all forms so whatever makes you feel good! I don't feel that swearing is necessary but if you have to just try to keep it to a minimum.

Same rules apply as with most contests. Basically use your "better" judgment.

 

I will not comment on entries until, all are in and done or time is up, but I will comment on all entries.

Now write like the wind and show me the beauty of your soul.

Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on March 20, 2008
  • Rewards: Gold: 700, Silver: 500, Bronze: 300, Honorable mention: 5 people
  • Final notes:
    This was an amazing contest to say the least. You each had some amazing takes on the prompt. The winners for me just really spoke to my soul. I saw this as a challenge to those sleeping muse's out there and boy did I get what I asked for here.

    I do plan to comment on each and every one, and I will get to each of them. I want to give each work the time it deserves to give an good comment instead of a 2-3 work "great job"

    Thank you all so much for entering and renewing my faith in poetry and reminding me of the talent that lingers here.

    This was not a PIF so it is not necessary to do so but I will be sure to take a good look at any of your sites that I have not seen in the past to read up on more of your amazing work. Congradulations to the winners and the HM's are in no particular order.
