NAh... I didn't... NO PREWRITES

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Reserve a space
2. I'll give you a link to a song and a video to youtube.com of my choice.
3. You'll be happy and inspired =)
4. You'll write your poem or lyrics inspired on the song, ignore the video.
5. Some may be instrumental, so let the music flow.
6. Some may have lyrics so be inspired by the lyrics... but don't copy paste the whole song --- you WILL be delete and butchered at the dead of night

Get it? Spectrum of emotions.

I give long comments, appreciate it you suck up lol

But I will comment at the end, since I have to really concentrate and play the song while I read your poem .

The gold winner has to comment on the all the poems in the finalist list Be nice.

People comment on the gold. There's a reason it won, be smart.

Oh, I don't care if it's happy or emo-cutting, or vagabond or dude-high or EVEN, lovy-mushy. I DON'T CARE, but you should make me believe that you don't care either.

    FOR THOSE WHO RESERVED

    hey guys, for those who reserved got a song and where unable to post a poem because the felt uninspired. Well I got good news for you:

    Since I am a generous hostess well, I'll change your song but ONLY ONCE.

    Here's what you need to do:

    1. Send me a message saying that you wish to change your song, and what entry number are you.
    2. You can either write, a phrase or a feeling that you like to write about at the moment. And I'll look for a song that would fit you best.
    3. Good luck! This is about inspiration not who can write better.


    If you do like your song but just haven't gotten around to writing it, then it doesn't matter, just be sure to post your poem before the time is up.

    If any of the people who posted their poems feels cheated don't be. Your poems where amazing. But if you still have any questions don't doubt sending me a message. I usually understand.
