20 OPTIONS CONTEST!!! (My way)

Not really in the mood for writing right now, but since I've won a few shinies over the last week, I thought I'd hold a contest, prewrites allowed!

UPDATE FOR THOSE WHO JUST LOOKED INTO THIS:
I am eliminating some options, so that there will be a broader spectrum of poetry themes.

OPTIONS: (can be used by more than one person - sparingly)

1. -CAN NO LONGER BE USED-

2. Quote Prompt: (Take it anywhere)

"Together we will march,
Together we will win,
Together we will find
ourselves in places we
have no business being in."
(Monkees episode "Card-Carrying Red Shoes")

3. -CAN NO LONGER BE USED-

4. -CAN NO LONGER BE USED-

5. Write a poem that was inspired by one of my own poems.
(I know no one will do it, but I thought it worth a go...)

6. -CAN NO LONGER BE USED-

7. Write a take-off/spin-off poem Lord of the Rings themed,
like you ran off with Legolas and married him.

8. -CAN NO LONGER BE USED-

9. Write me something about knitting, because I like to knit.

10. -CAN NO LONGER BE USED-

11. Anything about scottish terriers.

12. -CAN NO LONGER BE USED-

13. Write about going antique shopping.

14. -CAN NO LONGER BE USED-

15. -CAN NO LONGER BE USED-

16. University: attending lectures...what do you or others get out of it?

17. Lightbulbs...

18. Wearing real fur clothing - for or against?

19. Buttons and gypsies - connect the two in theme.

20. What family means to you.

Oh, and don't be discouraged from entering if you see a few poems in the prelimenary finalists list; it can always change.

RULES:
-NO sex, porn, sensual, erotica - i.e. keep it clean!
-Forms: free verse, blank verse, rhyme, StICky caPS, Dirty Pretty all allowed, so long as I can make sense of it.
-Include option # or the prompt in your notes, please, especially if you blend two or three (which I don't mind).

Well, Get to it!

    And with 54 views in the first hour, you'd think this contest would be full of entries already...
