Picture Prompt.

Image is from deviant art: http://oldschooltime.deviantart.com/art/It-Will-Come-The-Nightmare-81928543

This is my first contest, so I'm just going to see how this works out.

Basically, just use the picture as your prompt and write what ever comes to mind.

Rules:
1. 30 lines or less.
2. No bashing other poets
3. No mention of suicide or cutting
4. Credit the picture in your authors notes please.
5. No erotica.
6. No StIcKy CaPs.
7. No swearing

You can enter a pre-write as long as it fits the picture.

For now I have only put the required 300 points for gold but I will try and add some more more(I have now added more).
I will try to comment on every poem, but if I miss one then please tell me.

I look forward to seeing what people come up with.
Have fun.

  • Final notes:
    Hey everyone. Sorry I took so long judging the competition. But I found it really hard to pick a winner. Thanks for eventering. The poems were all really good and I enjoyed reading every single one.
    The three trophy winners were my favourite poems, but the honourable mentions are in no particular order. I have commented on every single poem, but if you have any questions then I'm willing to answer them.

    Thanks again for entering.
