The Elements: Round 1

Ok. I have over 3000 points on here and....I don't want them! Take them from me! They watch me in the middle of the night with their giant glowing yellow eyes! Please take them. Adopt them. Eat them. Win them. Steal them. I. Don't. Care. Just get them away from me!


*big sigh*


Ok, now that that's done. I'm gonna do a rounds contest on.....






The Five Elements!




The contests will begin with the first element. and depdning on how many enter the first contest depends on how many are eliminated each round. So I hope to get alot of entries. Because I'm looking forward to the entries on the last contest.


Ok. The first element....











FIRE!




I want poems about this truly powerful element. Interpret the prompt any way you want. Have fun with this.





Oh I forgot. The rules....

Anything Goes! Its a total free for all!


But please respect the other people entering the contest. So no bashing.

And If I feel like the poem doesn't cut it for the contest. I'll DQ it. its as simple as that. I will of course Msg you saying why I think it doesn't fit.

Ok. Thats about it.




Oh! I forgot one thing! If you want to make it to the last round and win the grand prize. You must make it through the other rounds first. So anyone wanting to win the grand prize, which most likely will be 1000 points or more, must first enter Round 1. Then make it through the next consecutive rounds. So If you're waiting for a certain element to enter on, Don't! To make it through to the other elements, you must first enter Round 1. Then make it to Round 2. Then Round 3. Then Round 4. Then the Final Round! Ok! Thats about it!




Lets get this show on the road!

          If you had read the whole page, then you would have read this "And If I feel like the poem doesn't cut it for the contest. I'll DQ it. its as simple as that"

          I felt like it didn't meet the standards of the contest, and so, I DQ'd it.
