Can you say options? That's what we got here....
All you have to do is pick one or as many as you like really, and write me something wonderful!!!
RULES first though...(sucky but necessary)
1. Option/s used must go in your AN.
2. No bashing of religion or anything else.
3. Tag appropriately, this contest is open to all ages.
4. Keep cussing and gore to a minimum.
5. Have fun!
Not rules but side notes:
§ - It's nice to comment on other entries.
§ - I'm not fussy about types of poetry so rhyme/don't rhyme it's up to you.
§ - I know next to nothing about form, so this contest is going to be judged on content, ie: how you interpret the options.
§ - I absolutely adore creativity.
§ - Don't try and impress me with big words.

how many enteries are we allowed? or at least are we allowed multiple entries.. coz u've got a lot of options it's hard to choose lol
-
-
I hadn't really planned on opening for more than one entry per person, but I will...so if you got more than one poem using different options then for sure you can enter more than one poem
-
-
just different options? or do different sub-options count as well?
anyways i'll try my hand in a bit .. and we'll see
-
-
I'd prefer different options...BUT...whatever
you can use different sub-options too

Thank you so much for the silver. I'd never done a poem based off of a word bank prompt before and I must say I enjoyed it very much.
