Word Prompt

Hello fellow poets! Tearz and I (Frogz) are back with yet another contest. The word prompt contests always seem to draw such diverse perspective of interpretation so here is another word prompt for you to draw upon. Let the ink spill where it may. Dazzle us with your brilliance or out of the box thinking. Please keep your entries pertaining to the word.

 

 

 

Prewrites will be open if you have something that fits the word fine... use it, but please don't just dump anything in for the heck of it. If it is not appropriate for the contest it will be remove pronto! Prewrites will be closed at our discretion.

 

 

 

Your word is....

 

Scintillating.... (sparkling, flashing, also witty, clever, brilliant, effervescent, lively)

 

You may use the word in your piece if you like but it is not neccessary just make sure the piece pertains to the word.

 

 

 

Free verse or rhyme is fine. Show us some metaphor, imagery, emotion!

 

 

 

Usual rules apply

 

No bashing,

no erotica

no sticky caps

etc... you know the drill by now!

 

 

 

Rewards will be:

 

Gold-400 pts

Silver-200 pts

Bronze-100 pts

 

 

 

Take your time and show us your talent! We look forward to reading and enjoying your entries!

 

Frogz and Tearz~
