Contest for my favs who are abstract writers!! :D
If you know me.. you know I love abstract writes... because I can always read my own thing into them.. despite if that is what the writer means or not! lol
So.... what I want is your BEST abstract write.... new or prewrite is fine....
I want you to explain in your authors notes what the write means to you... and I shall comment on what the write means to me!!!
Easy as!!
Oh.. and nothing over say... 20 lines... I have a short attention span! lol
You can reserve but please complete with a day or two!
Go for it!

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on July 15, 2008
- Rewards: Gold: 300, Silver: 200, Bronze: 100, Honorable mention: 4 people
- Final notes: I really don't know what to say in my notes here. I've said so much already in my comments! lol
I won't go into the finalists other than to say that the top 4 were very hard to separate.. Gold was given to the write that personally struck my being the most. I guess that's what all judges do though right?
What I will say is that was a fascinating exercise! For me, and I hope also for you! To read an abstract write and delve into its meaning.. is a journey indeed! And quite often what I took from the write was different than the explanation given by the author.. though most had a similar vein.
I hope you all found it interesting, if not enjoyable (lol) having your writes dissected in this way.
Hmm.. so much for not knowing what to say lol
Again, thank you all for your writes.. I enjoyed them all!

If something hits me you'll be the first to know. heh
Of course, every day is an abstract day ... YaY! heh
I don't think I've ever submitted a pre-write unless it was the only way to enter.
This will be no different, unless you fill before inspiration clobbers me.

This is tricky...It's hard to decide....

I would write a fresh poem, but my muse seems to have run off without telling me again...

Prewrite is fine!
Mine is doing that quite frequently!!!! Comes and goes at it pleases... seessshhh lol -
