Hello!
My muse has been a reclusive sort these last few weeks,
and I would like poems filled with emotion;
something to help me ~feel~ again.
I am looking for sadness, pain, desperation, heartbreak...
Not really in the mood for anything perky, sorry.
Usual rules apply, I don't need to spill them out here.
The points are sure to increase, with quality.
I may also extend this contest if I do not receive enough entries.
The image above can be your inspiration, if you so choose - I used it for a poem I wrote (Up, Up, And Away) - but never a contest. YOU MUST CREDIT IMAGE IF USED!!!!

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on October 14, 2008
- Rewards: Gold: 400, Silver: 300, Bronze: 200, Honorable mention: 7 people
- Final notes: Thank you ALL for your amazing entries!!! I finally narrowed it down enough to judge ... The top few just wowed me with intense imagery - and were placed in order of what touched me the most. If you received a harsh comment, I apologize only because we are all poets, and should be proud of our pens - hopefully you can take that well without any frustrations. We all receive criticism, for most, it helps make us better with our words; I know it has me at least. Thank you again & take care!!!
