Quote Inspired

Your quote is:

"I have watched you take shape from a jumble of parts
And find the grace and form of a fine work of art..."

From the song
Tangled up Puppet
by Harry Chapin

No pedestrian rhyme.

No purple prose.

Show- don't tell.

Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on October 17, 2008
  • Rewards: Gold: 300
  • Final notes:
    I can't thank you all enough for entering my contest. I don't think I am going to do any more quote inspired contests because there were only 9 entries. I guess the quotes I pick just don't inspire many people. I am glad that you all were up to the challenge though. You all wrote great poems. It was very hard to choose the winners. If I had more points, I would have awarded more trophies.
