This contest will go deep down inside you, and you will have to be open.
I need you to close..not yet, keep reading, close your eyes and write a poem about the first thing that you see.
Don't be afraid that what you see will be stupid, because what you will see is a part of you and your fantasy.
Rhyme or no rhyme, it doesn't matter as long as you write a poem about what you see when you close your eyes.
I will add more trophy's if I get enough entries.
Rules are the same as always:
1. No bashing
2. No StIcKy CaP or chat lingo
3. Keep in mind children might read it so label
4. Have fun
Also, you are allowed to add up to two times, just in case you try to close your eyes again and get a new idea for a poem you want to be judged.
The best of luck

Aw dont say that! If you want I can help you out? Give you an extra challenge by writing a poem about what I see when I close my eyes? Tihi

That might work better.

Alright, are you read? Now I have no idea what I will see since it will be quite random...*closing my eyes*
I see a old partly ruined brick fence and a beautiful landscape with yellow flowers. Now that was a weird thing for me to see

Great contest idea
This is great for expressive writing. Teaches us to close our eyes and see. This is very fun and addicting. Thanks for hosting this contest. I had a lot of fun visualizing. -
WOW!
I am so honored to win silver!! What an honor. I knew that piece was a heavy hitter. I did not know if I belted that one out of the ball park. It made a home run! Thanks for your support and hosting such a wonderful contest. -
Thanks for my HM.
