Hi guys! I've looked everywhere and I just can't find my inspiration. Have you see it? It was here a minute ago!
I'm having a hard time right now feeling blocked and uninspired. I want to read some amazing poems. Below is several quotes, pick one and pen me something wonderful. No pre-writes just yet, we'll save those for later. I've got waaaaay to many points just sitting here so they will increase if I get some mind-blowing pieces.
Standard ap rules apply
no profanity (smart people just don't need it!)
no bashing each other (play nice!)
no bashing God or your mama
now "git from here" and write!
quote #1 - Sometimes you must go out on a limb, that's where all the fruit is.
quote#2 - Never lose your tiara.
quote #3 - If you've got skeletons in your closet they might as well dance.
quote #4 - Never give a dog a baseball bat.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, ADD WHAT OPTION YOU ARE CHOOSING IN YOUR AUTHOR'S NOTES! THANKS!
Have fun!!!!

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on June 6
- Rewards: Gold: 300, Honorable mention: 2 people
- Final notes: wow! this was a hard one to judge. There were several pieces I really liked but could not consider for trophies as they neglected to list which option they were choosing. But, that being said, the top three were well and away the best of the bunch. Thanks for taking time, everyone to enter and see you at the next one!

One of my great-grandfathers (a half-Scottish engineer) used to say "If you fall in the race, do not stop to pick yourself up - JUST KEEP ON RUNNING!"

Will you allow multiple entries... I'd love to write a new poem but I'd like to do a PW as well... Perhaps one and one?
