Title of contest is derived from a Kiwi chocolate.
I'm doing this again ... I am addicted to reading only good poetry now.
I will be co-judging with the ultra-awesome kiwigirljacks
[EDIT]Also co-judging with the fucking prophet, red violence up.
Some of you've been invited before
and some of you haven't.
Anyways, you all have a specific prompt
because I want to see something specific
from all of you, but go ... crazy. Sane.
Just be awesome, as I know you will and can be.
I can change prompts for you
if you want.
Just ask me.

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on December 31, 2008
- Rewards: Gold: 963, Silver: 123, Bronze: 123, Honorable mention: 5 people
- Final notes: I got a notification that I should judge, seeing as how this was open for like, more than a month. BLAH.
This is easily and most complexly the hardest contest I've ever had to judge (kudos to Jacks & Palkowski the prophet for help).
I knew which poem I wanted for gold - it was pretty unanimous all along.
Silver & Bronze were insanely hard to separate.
The first TWO Honorable Mentions are in order...after that, they are in random order.
Gold - every small sound
Silver - hoy, mi amor esta de luto
(MEG, DON'T YOU DARE DELETE THIS)
Bronze - catharsis
HM1 - finishing touches
HM2 - phase transition
The rest of the HMs are not in order.
All the entries rawked.
End of story.

Do you want a change in prompt???
-
-
Um ... I might get back to you on it I'll attempt it first ... any reason why that prompt was chosen?
-
-
No reason, except that it popped in my brain.
Tell me if you want a prompt change.
-
-
Nah - I'll grin and bear it
-
-
Is it that bad?
LMAO -
-
not at all ... my muse just doesn't like anything at the moment ... she's a bitch
-
-
LMAO
Well, I can try to think of another prompt for you just so you can decide which one works better?
-
-
Did I mention that she was a hungry bitch? Damn ... I think I need to eat more 'fill you up for longer' food ... I'm always hungry at this time of day
You can if you wish

I changed your prompt; tell me if it's any better.
-
-

it was BRILLIANT, but I wasn't motivated to go write anything.
I think it was a bit too deep for me and my 15-year-old brain. -
-
Your comment made me smile, LoL.
Can't wait for your entry I do want you to focus on continuous image/metaphor in the poem, though <==you saw the new note?

Helen, you're pretty foxy.
I'm sure you can figure out the clues as to why you're not invited.
LMFAO...
I will probably make another one.
Or actually...
I could just add you on.
But...it means thinking of another prompt.
-
-
i know i'm pretty foxy.

-
-
i am severely offended
-
-
Oh for fuck's sake.
Um...
your prompt: susurrant

"telltale"
"pineapple moon" <==I.dare.you.
-
-

-
-
I think you're a genius who needs to appreciate pineapples in relation to nature.
LMAO.
I was only kidding. LoL
"piano fire"?
Um... "in the dead of ____" -
-
piano fire!??? LOL
i could throw out some random prompts too:
brood paritism! mimicry of calls! reed warbler!
-
-
Piano Fire - Sparklehorse
Hell, I got inspiration from the song.
It's a good song.
It's a random prompt,
but it doesn't mean you write random stuff.
Unless of course, you want to.
LoL
Um.
"white oleander"
Yes, like the book.
LoL
-
-
-
-
