Do You Have An Interesting Mind?

I want something interesting, something out of the ordinary.

It can be funny or pondersome or emotional, but it has to be thought-provoking and leave an impression on me.

Use any of the following prompts or use your own idea.

1. the insides of other people's houses
2. midnight
3. the number two
4. an experiment/test
5. the private life of the janitor
6. erasing the world
7. random gibberish
8. a yellow slide
9. once upon a _____...
10. dreams for sale



Wow me.


p.s. Please put your prompt choice in your author notes, if you choose one.


Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on October 4, 2008
  • Rewards: Gold: 700, Silver: 600, Bronze: 550, Honorable mention: 7 people
  • Final notes:
    this contest was tremendously difficult to judge. CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL OF YOU! you all managed to write such interesting and thought provoking poems. especially the finalists: it was so difficult to drag all of your poems into the desired order.
    i wish i could give out more than just gold, silver and bronze.
    oh and im sorry if i seemed a little bland when commenting on your poems for the first time: i didnt want to show favouritism. if i have the time, i might go back and comment on some of them like i would have if i had randomly come across them in 'shameless' or somewhere.
    thanks to you all for entering, and good job!

    A-dinage: I promise I will enter this contest. Really. 10 days is plenty of time. I swear it on behalf of Rabin, Rahel, and the rest of the buses.
