Alright. I feel I'm overdue for another contest, so here goes!
I want you to pick an inanimate object in your home, or wherever. Take that object, and give it personality. Tell me what its feeling, its self-image, its status among other fellow objects. What does it do? How does it contribute to society? Why is it different from the rest? Pretty easy, right?
But I don't want to you to pick just any object. It must relate to you in some way. By describing this object, you're describing yourself.
Rules:
No profanity, please.
tHiS iS aNnOyInG.
You may enter two entries, but no more than that.
I like free verse more than rhyme, but do whatever you like.
Thank you in advance for entering! Have fun and please think outside the box on this.
Sidenote: sorry, but i think i'm going to extend the contest for just a bit longer. there's a lot of things going on this week and i'll judge this as soon as i can.

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on May 21, 2008
- Rewards: Gold: 300, Silver: 200, Bronze: 100, Honorable mention: 4 people
- Final notes: Thank you all so much for entering. I must apologize for judging it so late, but its getting close to graduation and I've been pretty busy. I liked every one of your poems. I found it so difficult to judge, so I added more points because of it. If you didn't make the final round, I'd like you to know that it wasn't because of the quality(you all are brilliant writers), it just wasn't exactly what I was looking for. I hope you all had fun writing new poetry, it was a privilege to read all of your work. Keep on writing!
