Would You...

I had a great poem in my head, and I thought
imagine what people could do with that prompt?
So, I decided to hold a contest
and get twenty or so various ways to use the words

"Would you"

to inspire a poem.


I think that's all you need to know.





Limitations:

Under 50 lines
Easy to read
No erotica, though sensual is acceptable.
That's not a fine line, it's a clearly defined one.

Don't be a pussy
show me your talent and heart!!



Oh - I have loads of points
earn them, won't you?
Points and places may increase
depending on the nature of entries.

PLEASE
impress me!!!



Well then.
Get to it!!!










Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on September 14, 2008
  • Rewards: Gold: 800, Silver: 400, Bronze: 200, Honorable mention: 6 people
  • Final notes:
    WOW!!!

    Thankyou everyone for your remarkable entries!! This was a particularly difficult contest to judge!! The top three were particularly difficult to separate, and the HM's are loosely in order, there were a lot of ties among them. In all, the winner won because it spoke so deeply... There are a few more that deserved an HM, like Cancer, but I bust be quick so I am sorry I didn't get around to that.

    Thankyou to everyone who entered, these poems were really heart-wrenching and gut-twisting. Well done and all of you are winners in your works!!!!
