10 quotes to inspire you contest


Ok, I was always curious as of how people might see quotes I made myself, how'd they view them and what would these quotes make them feel. So in this contest I want you to pick one of the quotes listed and take it wherever you want.
Write in rythme or no rythme, doesn't matter. Any length goes.

Quotes:

1- The most salty tears are those shed on who don’t deserve them.


2- I envy me for being this strong so as to think so little of you.


3- God is the ultimate power for the soul, and he's endless.


4- What hurts us the most is the silence of those we love and the words of those we despise...


5- Don't argue on pointless things, people might think you've lost it.


6- Emptiness is the feeling of wanting yourself to feel when it won't let you.


7- Fear not those who make mistakes but those who don't make them.


8- We live life to learn it but by the time we're ready for it, it's time we have to leave it.


9- I thought I understood life, but even the wisest of men stand amazed before its endless ways to twist fate.


10- Your life is a book that only you can read its language.

So here you go, please put your quote and it's number in your Usernotes also credit me (Hikari lady).

Points:
400-Gold
200-Silver
100-Bronze
3 HM each is 30 points.

      Here are two links of dirty pretty in-depth definitions, the first is a column, the second a page on urban dictionary (which also provides good people to look at for dirty pretty writes... off the top of my head you have skeletons and sinnonence )

        ah i see.... well thank you. Now i understand completely. I've seen that type of writing occasionally on ap, now atleast i know what it is. though i dont see why some people hate it so... it's just a different type of writing, but thank you again.

          That's quite alright, I don't see why people hate it either, beside just free-writing its my favourite

            I prefer freeverse as well... i was never very good at anyother type- acrostics, haikus, etc. i can rhyme quite well occasionally, but aside from that freeverse is my fav

              I'm trying to do a word bank acrostic... that's hard and haiku's are just... blah lol
              My boyfriend found the only one I actually like the other day:

              "Haiku's are easy
              but sometimes they don't make sense.
              Refrigerator."

              But yeah, free verse rules But I do recommend trying DP once or twice

    This is a very cool idea for a contest. I was going to enter one of my older poems because I did not have the time to write a new one though that is fine. Maybe I will have more time later.
