Ok, so I have two options for you. You can either
... write something about regret. Maybe it's something you did that you regret or an event that happened or just regret in general. What ever strikes you're fancy.
or...
... write something about love. Any sort of love. Happy, sad, unsure... Give it all to me. As long as it's beautiful.
You can also combine these. If you regret a love, well that's just fine.
I like rhyme and free write. It just needs to flow well. If It's choppy I wont like it. I'm not real big on sing songy writes but if it is it better be consistent. I enjoy dark poetry but any subject is good. Just have fun.
Rules:
No sticky caps
no dirty pretty
it's nice to comment on other people's stuff, so please do so ( I wont know if you do or not, but it's nice)
If someone comments on your piece please return the favor. Everyone wants more points.
Your poem better go with the prompt... (I got some stuff in my last contest that made no sense with my prompt... it pisses me off and you will be DQ'd... you have been warned.)
The points will probably stay the same but if there seem to be a lot of really good writes I'll add honorable mentions.
I'll allow more enteries per person if there's a demand for it but I wont want more than two or three per person.
I'll comment on every entry.
I plan to judge as soon as I can.
I hope you all enjoy!
