40 song titles.

I have 40 song titles.
use the title as the title of YOUR poem.
only one person per title; but you can enter more than once with a different title.

so I want you to reserve a spot with the title you want so no one else can use your title.
then write your poem
hopefully that makes sense..

RULES:
1. proper spelling and grammar
2. no erotica
3. dirty-pretty's okay.. but none of the over=punctuated stuff

Stuff I Like:
*imagery and metaphors
*contempory poems
*personal and emotional

good luck.

points/trophies might be added.


NOTE: the poems are being reread all the time. so the finalist list will constantly be changing; if you're not in it now that doesn't mean you won't get there.

    I have all of these songs but one on my ipod; #36. Well, I have a question;

    Its only title inspired, right? I want to do 'Smoke and Mirrors', but the topic of what I want to write is nothing like the song! Is that alright?

      uhmm it would be better if the poem somehow related to the title.. at least a little bit;
      and if you want this title please reserve a spot with that title.
