This is a photo I took at the Grand Tetons about a year ago.
First off I would like to give my special thanks to ecrivain01 for donating 500 points to me. thank you very much.
Ok well my last contest didn't get too many entries so I figured I would have to up the points and pick a better topic. This time I am looking for almost anything that is filled with tons of metaphor and imagery.
Basically I want you to take something, whether it be a house, a rock, a dog, the entire universe, or a whole city, it doesn't matter. But I want you to take that and make it stand for something else.
Three examples are my poems:
Poison
http://allpoetry.com/poem/4442409
Raging Fire
http://allpoetry.com/poem/4339947
And my recent Gold winner and the source of 400 points for this contest

You do not have to stick to those topics. I want a variety but I don't want any erotica (this isn't the playboy mansion (well not for now anyway)), no emo somebody please kill me as I rip my eyes out (gets old real fast), and nothing that's, well, just plain stupid. I don't want metaphors talking about the sun but really being a metaphor for something stupid like how orange juice tastes great. I want you to put NO STUPID METAPHORS in your AN. Please don't waste my time with those.
And as with every contest... here are the RULES:
1. No txt
2. NoNe Of ThIs CrAp
3. If you swear, keep it in moderation and use it wisely not just so you can swear.
4. Unlike last one, I DO NOT want your name in you AN.
5. To prove that you actually took the time to read this, I also want you to put drakothstheron in your AN.
6. No bashing others
7. SPELL CHECK YOUR POEM!!!!
8. Have fun and good luck.

Sorry but I have decided to keep this contest open so that I can make this into a series of contests instead of just one. I will pick 10 people to move on to round 2, points and category undecided as of yet, then 5 people for round 3, and finally 2 people for round 4. If you have entered this contest and would like to continue please keep an eye open so that if your name is on the list you can enter in the next round. Points will increase each round.

might work but its hard to fill a painting with metaphor

sorry, i didn't really use any metaphors in my poem, but i've been told it paints a picture in people's mind. hope you like it anyways! the name of the poem is Nature's Kiss. just to let you know, even though it's an anonymous contest!
Really hope you like it!
