Options, choice, selection

-Dirty pretty has no place here.
-TELL ME which option(s) you chose in your AN.
-Do NOT enter your entry in another contest. That will only succeed in pissing me off.
-Under 50 lines.
-Trophies&points will most likely increase.
[EDIT]Thanking me for holding a contest will NOT make you more eligible to win any damn thing. Just thought I'd say that.

Option 1: Picture-inspired
If the picture above inspires your muse, let it write itself. (: & yes, it's Eva Longoria (again) modelling for Bebe Sport. Poems that are sensual or about a succubus better be DAMN GOOD if that's what you're gonna do. I'd rather read something unexpected.

All the good pictures seem to be feature women, or men all over women...would anyone like to tell me why?


Option 2: Word Bank
Use one of these 3 word banks (or combine all of them, like I know some people will)
Derivatives ARE welcomed!
Italicizing (free members can do this)/bolding the words would be nice, but not mandatory.

[1]clubbed, somber, coded, danger
[2]everlasting, hawk, head, behind
[3]pertain, willow, synthesized, reprimand


Option 3: Phrase Bank
Incorporate these 3 phrases in your poem.
You can alter them, but only very slightly. (:

colorized failure
defying my reflection
jeweled intentions


Option 4: Culture-inspired
Mention or allude (but tell me how in your Author's Notes) to the following.

Osiris
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osiris

Dr. Jekyll
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr._Jekyll


Option 5: Title-inspired

If you pick this option...OBVIOUSLY it must be your title.

Iced on Layered Life<--inspired by sheltered...DAMMIT somebody choose this option!!! This was featured in a contest before. I NEED somebody to pick this one.

Dryad's Spell

Your Presence Is Your Absence


Option 6: Quote-inspired/Matrix-inspired

Agent Jones: Only human.-The Matrix

Morpheus: I see it in your eyes. You have the look of a man who accepts what he sees because he is expecting to wake up. Ironically, that's not far from the truth. Do you believe in fate, Neo?
Neo: No.
Morpheus: Why not?
Neo: Because I don't like the idea that I'm not in control of my life. -The Matrix

Neo: Why do my eyes hurt?
Morpheus: You've never used them before. -The Matrix

Tank: So what do you need? Besides a miracle.
Neo: Guns. Lots of guns.-The Matrix


Option 7: Blender

Inevitably...you were gonna want to combine all/some of these options for something fantastic.

TELL ME which options you selected to make your flavored poem. (:

    I'm just guessing that for option three we could write the phrases in any order like instead of colorized failure. It could be failure colorized. Right?
