CONTEST: SPIRITUAL by Fransb

I have decided to enter another contest similar.

Take note:
1. Read the poem at http://allpoetry.com/poem/4548357
2. Now using the poem, write where the prompt takes you.

Please
1. No dirty language.
2. No wriTinG like this.
3. No erotica.
4. No bashing.
5. No dark poetry, cutting, etc.
6. No more than 20 lines, but if you really cannot, no more than 60
7. No pre-writes allowed.
8. One poem per person.
9. Check for spelling.
10. Use poetic devices.
11. This is not an anonymous competition, and you may therefore comment on each other’s poems.

Depending on the number of entries and my schedule, I reserve the right to either lengthen the duration of the contest or to close it earlier, but never without fair warning.

More points will be added at a later stage.

I trust that you will enter and provide me another pleasant experience. Should you have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on September 15, 2008
  • Rewards: Gold: 500, Silver: 150, Bronze: 100, Honorable mention: 8 people
  • Final notes:
    I again read the poems with much delight, and enjoyed their spiritual message. A spectrum of poems was submitted, providing cause for thought. One I truly enjoyed was ‘The wedding guest’. In my assessment I eventually had to re-read my poem to decide on the winning three. As in all contests, it is always a pity that not more awards at the top level can be given. Therefore, I have decided to award those of you who did not make the top three, an HM [these are in no particular order]. I thank you for your participation.
