Contest Title Prompts! by JustSimplyLissa

Hi Everyone,
Just a short bit about why I'm doing this contest.

I am part of a wonderful group called Titles Are Us that inspires me beyond belief. Every week A member of the group supplies 5 titles to write about. And then everyone in the group can write about which ever title they choose, and even "tweak" it a little. Then we post a link back to the poem.

I have found great inspiration and it helps to ward off the Dreaded WRITERS BLOCK! Ughhhh right? No one likes Writers Block!

 

Contest Info:
SO I've decided to collect all the titles that have not been written for and Do a title prompt contest!
So here's the catch!

Choose a Number between 1 and 55. I will IM you the title and you write about it. I Will list each number used so that way no one will request the same # and we all have separate titles.

Reserve a Spot with the # of your choice 1-55.
There are only 30 Spots open, I plan to make this a Rounds contest. So the next round will use the unused titles from this round.

As the rounds progress until all 55 titles are used, The Points Will increase!

Typical site rules apply.
Your poems must be readable and if they're not I'll let you know.
You must label appropriately.
Please don't tYpE lIkE ThIs. It's hard to read.
Other then that AP site rules apply.

Good luck and have fun!

*NOTES*

Late addition request from me. Please put "Done" in the preview section so that I know that you've written your poem for the contest.

 

Also I do plan on leaving this open until we get 30 Entries. If I get 30 Entries, before everyone writes their poems, you'll have 1 week to write your poem, I will send One IM reminder to write your poem then I will DQ it and toss the title back into the batch with the rest of the titles for the Progressive rounds.
