A famous quotation that is often misquoted by William Congreve inspired me to hold this contest:
"Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned, Nor hell a fury like a woman scorned,"
Now all you have to do, is to see where this takes you
you can be either man or woman
use the scorned feeling to denote the piece but I certainly don't want any -
emoredwritingonblackbackgrounds!!!
pity parties
self effacing shite
or any other kind of garbage
RULES:
make me feel the need
feel the heart
heat
rage inside the storm
the eye of it
make it good there are big points and i don't like crap writing
please please please - only rhyme if you think you can beat the GREATS!!!, otherwise don't bother!!
no overuse of gerunds, pronouns and watch your grammar
thank you!
good night
