Go Deep

Okay, I have been away for a while so I want to kick off the new year by reading lots of good poetry to stimulate my muse back into action.

There will be several options available and depending on the number of entries I may open it up to more than 1 entry each allowing for the fact that more than one option might stir your thoughts.

I am accepting pre-writes but if they do not fit any of the options below or are not marked in AN as responding to one of my options then they will be removed. DO NOT JUST DUMP PRE-WRITES HERE - THEY MUST FIT OPTIONS BELOW.

Options: (please note chosen option in AN)

[Title/Phrase]
1. The Wisdom Of Shadows
2. Whispers In The Mist
3. Surrender To Nothing
4. Liquid Memory
5. Abstinent Tears

[Colours]
6. Jade
7. Magenta
8. Chartreuse
9. Ebony
10. Scarlet

[Song Titles]
11. "Assurance, Closure" by Artist Vs Poet
12. "Wash It All Away" by Colin Hay
13. "Chasing The Night" by Every Avenue
14. "Room 21" by Hinder
15. "Before I Fall To Pieces" by Razorlight

[Word Banks - must use as given, you may use more than 1 list but use all the words in each list]
16. Sweet, Casual, Glance, Money, Aura, Tensile, Wishes
17. Around, Certain, Tainted, Desire, Habit, Conscious, Water
18. Pearls, Nevermore, Cajole, Sunset, Taste, Fluid, Breathe
19. Mission, Quench, Delight, Music, Drifted, Solemn, Nuance
20. Bountiful, Russet, Mirror, Distracted, White, Harmony, Pulse

I may add more options at a later stage depending on amount of entries received.

Note

* no line limit but please no epics
* label entries appropriately to content
* identify in AN chosen option
* pre-writes must fit or will be instantly removed
* cursing or any other offensive content will result in DQ

Got all that???? then get to it.

    Does the Title/Phrase have to be used, or can they be for inspiration only?
