Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on April 14, 2008
- Rewards: Gold: 300, Silver: 150, Bronze: 75
- Final notes: I want to apologize for taking longer than intended to judge this contest. I guess I forgot to factor in five tornadoes landing down here in Texas and losing power and internet service for four days. At any rate, now that I am here again, I want to thank all of you for entering. It was quite interesting to read what each of you came up with.

Are these your titles or titles you have come across?

These are just titles I have in my own journals with scribbles of unfinished poems.
I have over 400.
I can't decide if they are actual titles or just lines I actually hope to use someday.

Mad Dogs And Englishmen
A smile on my best friend's cold button face
is wandering England's fine greenery,
I shall sit here and drink to adventure
and soak this stiff upper lip with some tea.

These are great titles and think there are truly inspirational. I see the contest filled up quickly. Good luck to all.
