A Whole Lot Of Options

So I'm bored and making a contest. There aren't many rules just
no erotica and dOnT Be WeIrD aNd WrItE lIkE tHiS

I hope you like the options and if you have any other ideas for options just comment on the contest to tell me and I'll probably add them because I hate when I can't write for any option in a contest =)

you can enter as many times as you want just be sure to tell your name in the comment box if you do so you dont win twice

prewrites are allowed and I dont care whether or not your poem is new, that won't affect the judging =D
most of the options are from a song in some way or another.

I don't care if your poems are happy or sad. depressing things don't bother me and neither do happy things.

as long as it fits the option, write whatever you want!

so here are the options

1) quotes
be inspired by these quotes
(not the songs they are from)

-Love is watching someone die

-You shouldn't think what you're feeling

-A glass can only spill what it contains

-They're all different names for the same place

-There's a wish that we all wish

-If you find that only thing you love, hold on to it, never let go, just because

-You want to be dressed in poetry, but imagery doesn't fit

2) one word titles
write a poem with one of these as the title
-Gentlemen
-Quarantined
-Lightness
-Tomorrow
-Cleveland
-Outside
-Amputations
-Because
-Stability
-Peace
-Expectations
-Hourglass
-Mutiny
-Obvious
-Lurking
-Moonfall
-Risque

3) song inspiration
write something inspired by your favorite song
if you want, put the artist and title in the comment box

4) what's on your mind
write about anything that's been on your mind lately
for this I guess you should only add prewrites if they are newer

5) rhyming and not rhyming
if you typically don't rhyme, try to rhyme for this option or enter a poem you rhymed in
if you usually rhyme, try a free verse poem or enter a non-rhyming poem you've written

I hope you like the options and if you have any other ideas for options just comment on the contest to tell me and I'll probably add them.

edit*
Haha. sorry that I didn't say this before, but can you put the option number in the comment box too?
