Make me sigh in 24 hrs (any length)

Hi Brilliant poets...


I felt like hosting a quickie so I hope that the image sparks your muse...

Make me sigh~

I am looking for clever imagery metaphor and emotion and I love beautiful flow and alliteration...
Please don't enter just any old thing...It won't win. A quickie doesn't mean entering crap

Use spell check and be nice...
You may pen any form/style and this style
I DO NOT WANT hard core erotica...Sensual is awesome ...

If you dont know the difference don't bother entering

You have to play nice here, or be tossed out



Reserve iof you like but come back to finish please...I am judging tomorrow night by the stroke of midnight CST or when the contest is filled


you may make me sigh with any lenth poem ...whatever it takes I am not limiting length...


Lynda

  • Final notes:
    This was so difficult to judge!

    If you get a chance, please read gold...I think you will sigh too...


    There were many contenders for silver and bronze and that is why I have given 7 HM's !
    You made it so difficult that I had to extend the contest and bring in another judge to assist me in the final decision making process...So, please know that if I could, I would have awarded you all with a trophy and points because you are so deserving!

    Be well and ty for making me smile and sigh~
