♥[First contest in awhile]♥
I shall provide a few options, so don't get your panties in a swivel, mate!
You will earn brownie points from me if you have quality vocabulary and not ONE misspelled word. :) I value the beauty of the English language, not the mockery and de-bowelment of it.
First off, I love rock. ♥ Good rock music. Not pop punk rock like Fall Out Boy, no. Real rock.
Examples:
♥Evanescence
♥Alter Bridge
♥Audioslave
Korn
Seether
Aerosmith
ACDC
Alice In Chains
Disturbed
Rage Against The Machine
Breaking Benjamin
Get it? Good. Any poetry with the heart and soul of rock n roll in it, is good for me. Incorporate a famous song by one of the above bands into the heart of your poem, and I'll love it. Do NOT copy any of the lyrics, simply use one of the bands songs as inspiration. Name the BAND and SONG in your author notes, or you will be DQ'd.
Second Option: Change. Life is about Change. The only constant in life is change. Write about it. A change in your life, a reaction to a certain change, your thoughts about change in general or one specific change, whatever. Note the word "Change" in your author notes.
Third Option: Haunt me! Something dark and haunting, and horror-like. Whatever you like. Give me the chills or creep me out a little. Tell a story in your poem of a dark place or a haunting story that your character has been through. Note the word "Haunt" in your author notes.
Fourth and final option: Write about a journey to a totally different world. A fantasy world or whatever you envision. Faeries, goblins, pixies, talking animals, trees that move, purple horses, whatever you conjure up. Write about the discovery of that world and all that you see. Make it detailed and make it filled with amazing imagery (this requires a broad vocabulary, so don't choose this option if you're not up to the challenge). Note "Another World" in your author notes.
Now for the rules:
No stick caps-- I don't like it, and I won't like YOU if you do it.
Spell CHECK.
Spell CHECK.
SPELL CHECK. Got it?
This obviously means no chat lingo.
No erotica, it's irrelevant here.
Commenting on others poetry is not required, but noticed. :D
Commenting on MY poetry may not get you the win, but it will get you brownie points with me. ;)
Follow the rules for the author notes, and do NOT bash anyone else's poem.
Negative commentary will get you DQ'd. If you can't say something nice, don't comment.
Now, off to your paper (or screen...) :D
