Real Life Love! SEVERAL PROMTS!!!!!!!

First off. As I get more points there will be more points added to the contest. I intend to add atleast 100 more to silver and atleast 70 more to bronze with atleast one honorable mention. So HOPEFULLY I'll be able to! I really like the idea for this contest.

This is kinda sorta based on a poem I wrote a week or so ago called 'Shattered'. But broken down into parts and well....you'll get it. Here's your prompts first!

Here's how it's broken down
Number) Prompt

Part of poem
It's based off of
All from 'Shattered'


Got it? Here we go:

1) Write about how a person would think about love after their fourth relationship failed.

First shatterd
Second broken
Third burned
Fourth torn


2) Write about a simple middle school(11-13 years old) romance and how the unclear realities of love make it hard to really understand each other.

The first one
He was perfect
Except for one thing
Everything
It makes no sense
Why did he
Of everyone
Have to be
The one
My first
I was too young
I was too immature
For him
For boys
And he was too immature too
And had no clue
Where we were going
And I wish he did
With confusion
He shattered my heart
And I shattered his

3) Write about a romance with your best friend and how everything can seem perfect for awhile which makes it even harder when reality hits and you realize that he's cheated on you and that you're nothing to him.

Then him
My second
My perfect
My dream
My best friend
Whom I jealously claimed as mine
Even when he wasn't
And when he was mine
I wasn't good enough
But she was
I think
He was just confused
But as far as I was concerned
He was no longer mine
I was just a girl
A girl he used
For all the wrong reasons
A one sided love
A regret
That will never leave
He broke my heart
So I broke his

4)Write about trying to take revenge by picking up someone on the rebound and then actually falling in love with the person. Then realizing that he doesn't love you but since you still love him you could never bring yourself to hurt him.

And then impulsiveness
Brought me my third
Me, his first
A dance
A dream
A kiss
One month
one date
Two months
three dates
Three months
one date
Fours months
two dates
Five months
No dates
Six
Seven
Eight
Nine
Ten
Eleven
No dates
Tweleve
One date
Thirteen
No dates
I was lonely
He knew it
He felt bad
He could see
He wanted to make it better
But when he let go
He burnt me
And no matter how much I should've wanted
To burn him back
I couldn't
I loved him
This burn
This scar
I don't regret
I never will

5) Write about falling in love with someone on the rebound again but this time being really impulsive and being lucky enough to end up with someone who truely deeply loves you. But you dont really like him and his deep affection scares you.

A dance
A friend as a date
Another friend
Asked to dance
I was sick
Unsteady
Sugarhigh
Sad, still burned
Impulse
A kiss
Another dance
More kisses
No going back
His first
My fourth
Keep on going
One
Two
Three
Four
Weeks
Going too fast
Already farther than my first
Farther than my third
Too far
Can't go back
Lost
My heart torn
I could stand it
I tore his heart
I ran away

6)Write about how all of these failed relationships would change your view on love and the world. Wouldyou cry, hide, be angry? ect.

Away from it all
This heart
First shattered
Second broken
Third burned
Fourth torn
I couldn't stand the pain
Just hide
Run away

Forever?
Is that long enough to heal?
Or is there no time?
One month
Two month
Three month
Here I am
Lonely
Fake smiles
Fake laughs
Fake life
No sleep
Tears every night
Confusion everyday
I'm not truely alive anymore
Because I am shattered

7) Or the simplest of all the prompts(though you get brownie points for the one above). Write simply about lost love.

RULES!
1) I dOn'T gEt WhY pEoPlE hAtE sTiCkY cApS sO mUcH! i ReAlLy DoN't CaRe!!!!!!

2) Nothing I shouldn't read at 15. I'm not naieve but I'm really not to a point where I feel comfortable reading that stuff(you know what I mean).

3)Keep cussing to a minimum. I understand there are points were it brings out the emotion in the poem and if that's the case than fine. But in reality don't just cuss because you think it's cool and you're trying to think of words that rhyme with duck.

4)I really do not like short poems. I like longer ones. Not epics. But enough to fully tell a story.

5)You can add as many poems as you want. No pre-writes and don't overwhelm me!!!!!!!

6)Put the words 'band geek' in the AN so I know you read the rules!

7)I like both ryming and umm....not rhyming(doesn't that have a word for it? I can't remember). But don't rhyme if it doesn't make sense.

8)I'd like for you to comment on other's poems. It's not mandatory. I'm not going to go check and stuff. But I think it's generally a good thing to do.

9)No emo/Suicidal unless it fits

10) HAVE FUN!!!!!!!!
