I Think I'm Back Now

Some of you may have noticed that I haven't been around much lately, so I'd like pieces that will help to give me some hope for my own writing. With my imagination having run off, I'm not making it on my own very well, so I'm counting on you.

I'd like anything about nature, family, love (please keep it clean and realistic), or friendship. I enjoy reading about these topics, and you may use any form or non-form as long as you explain your form.


Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on May 20, 2008
  • Rewards: Gold: 500, Silver: 300, Bronze: 200, Honorable mention: 1 people
  • Final notes:
    Thanks to everyone who entered my contest. Each poem touched me in a different way and helped to bring me out of my funk a little more. "Refuge" touched me because it was so much of what I have been going through. Thank you, Sandal.

      congrad i thinks...

      hehe i like reading the rare lady editor's view of sports. it's a good thing if you know sports and don't mind interviews with cliche quotes

      "ya i did it for the good of the team because i'm nothing without them" or "we're number one and we'll crush everyone else like i just crushed that sugar cube"

      or my favourite off the record "it's totally okay if you put my phone number at the end of the article for the ladies" oh professionalism helped me there, to not laugh

      i had to resist poking them!!! they can't be real!

      try something writing undumb, i'm having to write a bunch of poetry again to shake off the 5W pyramid invert habit for a few months hopefully glad you around though

      anyhows... JUST WRITE IT and screw nike subliminal messaging
