Big Emotion...

1, Write in any style. DP, Acrostic, Freeverse, Rhyming...
2, Swear if you have to, adult- mark it so, write what fits.
3, Grammar, people!!
4, Unlimited entries, many times as you like.
5, NO PREWRITES. Every other contest I've done has allowed them, I want something new this time, please. I have faith, so must you.

Down to it-

I want BIG emotion. Not, I like him and he likes me.
Or, I was a little bit scared,
But- My heart will BURST with the capacity of my love,
Or, My chest was pounding with the strength of my desire...

Use Fear, Love, Hate, Despair, Grief, Passion, Rage....
Anything that's really Strong.
Make me feel what you're feeling, describe what it does, why, the situation you're in...
Use imagery, tell it like it is, metaphors, analogies,

Profound emotion people! I know you have it.

Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on November 22, 2008
  • Rewards: Gold: 400, Silver: 100, Bronze: 50, Honorable mention: 5 people
  • Final notes:
    I got so real emotion in this. Exactly what I asked for.

    I liked every single entry. I did not have reason to disqualify anyone, and I sure wish I could have given more points.

    I know some of you will be disappointed...
    check out some of the finalists though...So incredibly hard to judge! (Yeah, you hear it all the time...)

    Amazing work. Thank You so much! Enjoy writing!

    ya know its incredibly hard to read this contest for laughing at that ^&*9 cat ROFLMAO. I hope this contest is as enjoyable to write for (I hope) as it is not to be able to read what to write on. yeah i think i said that right. and if you are a card carrying grammer nazi I think I mispelled "incredibly"; if so, please excuse this stoner wanna be prophet. lol



    uh yeah, or something like that...

      Grammar nazi??? Lol!!

      Nah everyone has typos, i refer to blatant laziness, it bugs me!
      Glad you enjoyed my cat, he's called Freddie, and he has one hell of a temper!
      It's him you answer to if you mis-grammatize!

      Obviously artistic license is allowed! If you choose the right emotion, then I'm sure it will be enjoyable to write for! Choose laughter!! It seems it tickles you! Or fear. Of the grammar nazi.
