You know how these go. I Did one of these last year and it was fun, so I decided to do one again, but with more songs. There are currently 50 songs on the list, so it shouldn't be too hard to pick one.
Rules:
1. The song title can only be used once, so leave a comment as to who is doing which, and check the other poems to see if yours is taken.
2. NO BASHING other poet's work, it's not nice
3. No sticky caps, no all caps
4. WATCH GRAMMAR AND SPELLING! it is one of my biggest pet peeves! when I see something wrong, I can't concentrate on the rest of the piece, and that doesn't go well for judging it
5. Please no more than 75 lines
6. No erotica, I may be 18, but I really don't feel like reading it
Try to check out some of the other entrants works, it's a nice thing to do.
Now, you can also enter more than once if you feel like it, but no more than 3 please.
So, here is the mighty list:
1. Don't wanna Miss a Thing- Aerosmith
2. Teardrops on My Guitar - Taylor Swift - TAKEN
3. Livin' on a Prayer -Bon Jovi

58. If You Wanna be Happy - Jimmy Soul
59. My Immortal - Evanescence
60. B.Y.O.B. - System of a Down
I suggest that you actually listen to the songs before you write your poem/ lyrics on them. It's much more easier that way,
I might even add more songs to the list as time goes on, so keep a lookout!
If this does not get more than 15 entries, I will end up cancelling it. There are 50 songs, so there is no reason that I shouldn't get at least 15 entries.
I extended this for a couple days so hopefully I can get at least 2 more entries. I have 60 songs here, I should at least get 15 entries.
I will comment on each entry at the end of the competition, because I end up changing my mind quite a bit
Have FUN! *smile*

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on July 19, 2008
- Rewards: Gold: 400, Silver: 200, Bronze: 100, Honorable mention: 2 people
- Final notes: I want to thank everyone who entered this! I enjoyed reading each of your entries and seeing your take on the songs I presented.
I kind of did not like when people used the title of the song as the title of their poem, because you are supposed to be creative and come up with something of your own, but their were a few who had the same title and it actually worked for them.
I was only going to give out three, but those who have HM's I really think deserve it. Thanks once again to all those who entered.
Also, since not all of the songs I listed were used, so once I get enough points, I am going to make another contest using the rest of the songs. Please look out for it!
