Not for the Weak. (Six for luck!)

The lovely Beauteous Beast and I are looking for some great poetry. I mean GREAT! We will accept nothing less than perfection. To make you more comfortable, there will be many options to choose from. However, if you do not wish to follow rules, leave now!!!

Options:

Uno- Fantasy.
I want deep and dark. Werewolves, vampyres, and all that jazz.
If it's what you write, it can be a little erotic. Nothing hardcore or raunchy.
Please, no hunters! These kids are my friends.
***Cliches are a big DQ! Be original! Even if your meanings are a bit confusing.***

Dos- Love.
Who doesn't die over love poems?!
Once again, DEEP! No puppy love or one-night stands.
It's love not lust. Keep it sensual, not pornstar worthy.
Make my heart ache!!
(PS happy love.)

Tres- Depression.
Well, we can relate.
If it sounds or is fake, I will fucking hate you forever! Don't enter about something you don't know!
Cutting, suicide, and such is fine.
***Watch the language. If there is too much, I'll start laughing, and you will fail!***

Cuatro- Odd.
Pick a random object that is easily overlooked.
Tell about it's beauty.
BEAUTY!
Make it good. Nothing idiotic. I will tell you if it is!

Cinco- Photographs.
Instead of giving you choices, I'll let you pick the picture.
Write what the photograph tells you to write!!
Look through the picture, don't be too literal.
***Please send the link to me or Beauteous Beast and have it approved before submitting it.***
Credit it!!!

Seis- BONUS!
Write of Beasty's immense love for Fitz!!
This is a bonus and a trick.
It's not possible to describe!
But if you get it close, and she sheds a few tears, you will most likely win this whole contest!
Once again, this is most likely not going to happen.
If you pick this, be prepared for criticism.


Rules&MoreInstructions
+Follow the option instructions!!
+If you're confused about something, ask a judge!
+DEEP DEEP DEEP DEEP!!!
+We'll look at your entry sooner if you comment on our poetry. HINT!
+Dirty pretty is accepted.
+Grammar and spell check are life!!! Do not deny them! Or we will deny you!!
+Free verse is preferred, but rhyme is excellent as well.
+Spanish option number goes in Author's Notes.



Rules must be followed.
Scream perfection!
Don't force it. Just let it flow.

    Only one entry? But you have soooooooo many ideas!!

    And I HAVE to reserve?

    The relationship between you two, strong friendship? Lovers? (messgae me if you don't want to make it public- I'm kinda ignorant...)

    Reckon it's possible to do the photograph one without being a gold member?

    Pre write bias

    my "Wolf Man" fills the bill but is a "dreaded"

      If you haven't noticed, it's my contest! If you don't like the rules, go somewhere else. I allowed prewrites for a time, but that time is up. You were too late. Move on.
