~*~Be My Muse~*~

So I have been in the mood to write, but everything is coming out WRONG. I want to write a poem for my boyfriend, but I can't seem to find the words. So I need inspiration!!!
I would really like some love poems to inspire me to write the perfect poem for my boyfriend. I love him to death and want to surprise him with it.


BE MY MUSE in this time of writers block!

Rules (Cuz I have to):
1. No sticky caps
2. No erotica (well maybe some >.> ) But please label it as such.
3. You may enter twice (but you can only win one thing)
4. Have fun (I can't think of anything else...)
5. I have the right to DQ you if I feel the need to

Suggestions (Cuz I can):
1. Read other people's work (and comment NICELY)
2. Kudo points if you can write a sonnet (Spencerian is my favourite *hint hint*) lol.
3. PW's are okay for this kind of contest but new things would be nice too....


I will try my best to comment on everyone's work and have this done on time. Thank you, good luck, and do your best!


(A)muse me!

  • Final notes:
    I'm so sorry it took me so long to judge this contest. I tried very hard to go through all of the poems very thoroughly and not pick the winners impulsively. All the poems were wonderful and I am glad to say that after going through all of these great poems, my muse had returned.
    Again sorry for the delay!
    Thank you!
    Hope you all keep up the great writing!

    Hmmm... I may come back and enter this, but I wanted to drop an idea before I forgot.

    For Christmas as part of his present I wrote my boyfriend a poem. (7 pages typed) It was all about from the day we met to different events in our lives together. Mostly how I felt and recounting the events. Not all of them were good, but I was short with those. Mostly I focused a lot on us together in general and how I feel about him.
    Maybe that would make a good poem for YOUR boyfriend? I know mine loved it. He carries it around in his notebook.

        No problem. Good luck. It takes a lot of work and time, but it's definitely something to be proud of.

    'I love him to death'. That's really a strange thing to say!

    Nice contest. I do like the background with the colours of the writing and the links you've chosen.
