Toy Inspired Poetry

Go back to your younger years and think of the toy you held closest to your heart. Now take the toy and make it living, give it a personality (or remember the on it had) and write a brilliant piece from that toy's perspective on your childhood. So simply put, a new way to look at your childhood and write on it.

Rules:
I don't have to know what the toy was, but if you want add it in the notes.
Make it honest, choose a toy you had, don't make one up, and write about your childhood, don't make it up. Please, it makes the reading better.
Try to avoid profanity, but if it suits the piece, keep it limited.
The basics of no chat speak and so on.


I will comment honestly on all pieces, if you don't like flat out honestly on your piece, either suck it up or do not enter, it's simple.

After I comment you can edit your piece and I will re-comment and give it a new look. Just make sure you inform me that you changed it.

(As I get more points, I will add more points. All points I get from commenting and so on will be put into the contest.)

Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on July 31, 2008
  • Rewards: Gold: 350, Silver: 132
  • Final notes:
    Most didn't capture the view of the childhood I was looking for, however they were all good pieces. It just didn't seem like the writers had read the prompt. I wanted more with the childhood. So that's what gave the reason to the orders.
