I just ended another contest, but I really want to read some new poems...so here we go! More points will be added as needed.
Rules
1. no fUnNy TyPiNg
2. No cursing, erotica, or cutting poems. Sensual is fine, but please no graphic details.
3. Comment on at least two other poems, when there get enough for that to happen.
4. Put your prompt choice and "arpeggio" in your AN so I know you read the rules.
5. I reserve the right to DQ whenever.
And now, the fun stuff.
PROMPTS
1. Write me a poem about the jester, the joker, the harlequin, the fool--whatever name you choose to call him by. This poem should be playful, mischievous, and fickle.
2. Write me a poem about moonlight. If you use this prompt, I don't want cliche or sappy love. I want something alluring.
3. Write me a poem about dancing. Waltz especially I love.
4. Write me a poem about serenades. This one can be lovey-dovey and sappy.
5. Write me a poem about the ocean, or a lake. For this poem, I want something poignant and sad (but not depressing!). More like lonely.
I like lots of beautiful imagery and playing around with words. If you rhyme, it better be good. Brownie points for fresh writes. Also, I don't normally give applause on poems entered in my contests, but if you write it well enough to merit three claps from me, you're almost guaranteed at least HM.
Alright, you crazy kids...have at it!

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on December 2, 2008
- Rewards: Gold: 400, Silver: 100, Bronze: 50, Honorable mention: 1 people
- Final notes: Thank you all for entering this contest! It wasn't easy judging, all the entries were so well written. Hmm...I think I need to make the rules larger next time, because several people seemed to have trouble reading them.
Anyways, these poems were fun to read. A lot of you combined several of the prompts together, and those were interesting. Thanks for entering, and ciao!
