Picture Credit; emilieautumn2 found on www.skem9.com

2) Be inspired by either one of these quotes;

** "Death must be so beautiful. To lie in the soft brown earth, with the grasses waving above one's head, and listen to silence. To have no yesterday, and no to-morrow. To forget time, to forgive life, to be at peace.”

~Oscar Wilde

** "Long live the rose that grew from the concrete when no one else ever cared."

~Tupac Amaru Shakur

For these options, please let me know which one you choose in your Author's Notes!

Also, I will be looking for SPECIFIC things that will most likely earn you a nice, shiny trophy
& here they are;

*IMAGERY* DEPTH* EMOTION* POWER* METAPHOR* ORIGINALITY

15 spots!!!
Please keep your poem between 30 and 90 words, no more, no less.

The poems with most of, if not all of the above, will definately have a better chance at winning. I love poetry that just glows with imagery and emotion that leave you breathless and create beautiful scenes in your mind & feeling in your heart.

Rules**

-No bashing other poems
