A Fistful of Prompts

Rules:
--Write Prompt in your Author's Notes
--Keep this contest annonymous: no commenting, rating of my comments or telling me which poem is yours.



Prompts:
--"Who do you think you are?"
--The pain, it's not receeding.
My heart, I feel it bleeding.
--Would you skip parts of life if you could? Why?
--"If I had a nickle for every time I -"
--"You take your shit, I'll take mine- but I wont take yours."
--Wicca/Witchcraft/Spells and Potions
--Nature
--Beauty - give it a form, whatever.
--Name an emotion, display it somehow. Nothing cliche, and raw emotion for once is not what I crave. give it a circumstance, and a way of being expelled other than descriptive words.


I want:
--You to recheck the rules. Twice.
--Talent.
--Good use of vocab.
--Perfect spelling and grammar.
--To be impressed.




No word or line limit.
Impress me.
If it's too long I'll hate it.
Shorties can be wicked great; if its a shorty
make it wicked great.
Enter as many times as you want.
Prewrites and erotica and suicide not welcome.
I want 50 entries.



Points will most likely go up.
I am accepting a minimum of 40 entries.
Bedazzle me.

  • Contest was judged on July 4, 2008
  • Rewards: Gold: 450, Silver: 200, Bronze: 100, Honorable mention: 4 people
  • Final notes:
    WOAH!!!

    This was a mega hard one to judge, almost all of you deserved a place, I needed to hand out more silvers then you could have all had something!!!

    The Honourable mentions were all fantastic attepmts - Lamplit Journey was orignally bronze, and Conflict originally silver, so I thought they deserved HMs at the least. The last two really hit me and were fabulous efforts: giant the only haiku and If i had a nickle a very hardhitting piece.

    Bronze is a fantastic ode to the elements, wicked write;

    Silver was fantastic! Just knocked my socks off. I'm not surewhy or how, as in, who'd have thought a grey grey poem would almost win one of my contests? But it was really fantastic. And, finally...

    Gold.
    Gold was always gold, I felt it deserved that title. A deep and wellput view on a love life... It hit me the hardest and ... just wowed me. Like so many other entries, lol.

    Thanks for entering everyone! I enjoyed reading each and every poem THANKYOU ALL for making this a worthwhile contest!!

    Looking Forward to your talents in the future:

    Grrr...I hate when prewrites aren't allowed. I have an awesome nature poem which I just perfected and I can't find a single contest that will let me post it! *sigh* Let me know if you change your mind...
