PIF 10 poets 10 lines lyrics contest

10 poets


10 lines


This is your prompt:
"Who's gonna call on Sunday morning?
Who's gonna drive you home?
I just want one more chance
To put my arms in fragile hands."

-from Paperthin Hymn by Anberlin



1. Check grammar and spelling please
2. put "totally awesome monkies" in your author's notes to let me know you read this.
3. don't go over 10 lines
4. Have Fun!


**EDIT**
Ok, when I say that the above lyrics are your prompt I mean that I want you to use them as inspiration, I don't want you to put the direct lyrics in your poem, I want you to be creative and think of a situation pertaining to the lyrics. Just wanted to clerify, as, some people seemed confused on that. Someone who doesn't have the lyrics in their poem at the end of contest has a better chance of winning, than someone who does, unless I absolutely love their piece. Not trying to sound rude or pushy here, just wanting to clarify! =)

Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on September 25, 2008
  • Rewards: Gold: 300, Silver: 200, Bronze: 100
  • Final notes:
    I was going to end this with just first place getting points, but, I felt that the other two finalist were too good to not receive points, so, I added points.

    Congrads to the winners, your pieces were beautiful and great takes on the prompt!

    All the pieces were wonderful! I enjoyed them all! This was a tough decision, but, in the end, I thought that the three winners best described and got the most out of the prompt.

    Gold Winner-Somewhere (Please PIF)
    Silver Winner-Don't Forget And Walk Away
    Bronze Winner-testimonial

    Thanks for entering! Congrads again to the winners!

    sitting in quiet listening to voice seeking to rediscover her life
