Picture Prompt and Quote


I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge -- myth is more potent than history -- dreams are more powerful than facts -- hope always triumphs over experience -- laughter is the cure for grief -- love is stronger than death.
-Robert Fulghum, The Storyteller's Creed


I have enjoyed reading the poetry in my last few contests. So I am holding another one. You may write anything this picture and quote inspires. Any form, rhyme or non rhyme. I look forward to reading your entries and will read and comment on each one. Best of luck. Have a wonderful day and get those muses working. Sandy

Rules

2. No erotca (sensual is fine)
3. Write what you feel and have fun!!

Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on December 1, 2008
  • Rewards: Gold: 400, Silver: 300, Bronze: 200, Honorable mention: 17 people
  • Final notes:
    Wow , What wonderful entries I received. My head is spinning, going back and forth deciding the top three. So many deserved more then Honorable Mention. The HM are in no particular order. With so much amazing talent on AP it is getting harder and harder to judge. In the end I chose the three that touched my heart the most since all the poems were written so well. Thank you all for your time and beautiful entries. I enjoyed reading each and every one. Have a wonderful day. Hope to see you in my next contest. Hugs, Sandy

    "I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge" - reminds me of an Einstein quote.

    Looks good
