So many contests have quote or picture prompts on them. Some I can relate to. Others, I think "well, that's just fine and dandy, but it doesn't relate to me."
What I'd like for this contest is you. Pour out your deepest emotions. What have you been feeling this week? What's one of your struggles? What's something you're glad is over with? What's made you smile?
Turn your emotions into beautiful words and amaze me.
Nothing dark.
Nothing erotic.
No sticky caps.
No prewrites.
One entry per person.
Write as much as you want. I've got plenty of free time. Well, not really, considering I have two finals this week. But I like to think that I have plenty of free time. I solemnly swear to read your poem in its entirety and comment on it to the best of my ability!

I do not think you want to read about whats on my heart, its a little too graphic and scary.
-
i love your name. and that song. and showbread.
and i'm entering...not just cause of your name...i just...thought i'd..tell you. ha.
-
mine's slightly dark though...if its too dark for the contest, just take it out. hopefully it works though.
-
A very wonderful idea for a contest, however: if dark is what's on my heart, how can I enter this? If what i'm feeling right now is sadness (with some anger) how can I be a part of this? It looked like you were trying to make a good, open, contest, but it doesn't seem to be OK. I think a lot of people will appriciate this, though, and good luck with the hearing the hearts of the happy.
