Hello there dear readers I hope you are all doing just fine.
Welcome to my contest! This contest is about zodiac signs.
I love the zodiac I find it part of life and I also adore astrology so lets start with this shall we?
If you don't know I'm remaking this contest for lack of comprehension and lack of finishing their writes, so I am not doing this as a quickie anymore but instead as a normal contest.
Now, since this contest is no longer a quickie I have modified what I am searching for here. I will give you 12 pictures found in Deviantart, you will use the to create a wonderful poem made of metaphors and imagery. I want you to use the picture as inspiration, see BEYOND the picture.You can look up information on the sign if you think you need to do so.
Have in mind I am giving you plenty of time to accomplish this write, but please do not keep me waiting. Have your write done BEFORE I judge. Also,please follow rules, my rules don't tend to be so difficlut neither hard to understand.
These are your prompts:
* you may only chose ONE, so please choose wisely*

Allright now the rules and reminders:
-No chat speak-
-No dirty pretty here for now-
* If you can upload the picture into your poem it would be greatly thanked, but if you are a free member and can't I accept the link in your AN.
- In cases I need to comunicate with you for a reason whatsoever, please put your Ap name onf your AN.
-No religion, if so is found on your poem I will DQ you, so please, prevent it 
-Same thing with erotica. I don't visualize a need to go erotic here and if found your poem will also be DQed.
-in your AN put this : "I am universe, I am life "so I know you read the rules.
reminders:
* I have allowed one entry per person, so be wise on what you choose.
* I am allowing pre-writes due to my last contest, I believe those writes deserve merit.
* If by any reason I see you are not following the rules I will warn you, and if you dont take action I will not read your work nor comment.
* Yes, you may reserve, but finish days BEFORE the contest is judged.
*Points will increase depending on entries and on how I see the contest.
Well I am so sorry for being such a meany but I want this contest to work, so please understand me. If you have any questions at all please don't doubt to message me.
thanks you and have fun!

QUESTIONS
How much prompting is to come from the picture and how much from information on the zodiac sign?
Thanks
J.P.T. -

mm by prompting do you mean how long should the poem be or how many prompts can you use? if its about length, you can make it no longer than 100 lines ,but if you mean how many prompts, you can use as much as you want but you have to tell me which prompts you used.
On the info, it is only a recomendation in case you don't know much of the sign you chose. You can put in what you think would emphatize your write .... hope I helped!
