Reserve A Word...Paint A Poem Part 2


Hi Brilliant poets!


I hosted a contest like this once before and it was a lot of fun, so I decided to have a couple more of them and see what happens. The first one is about filled up, so This is part 2 of that lil' adventure today


Please read the instructions carefully to avoid DQ!!!


step 1...Choose a word Make sure no one else has chosen it by checking the titles on the contest page!

step 2...If the word you would like is not taken, make the title of your poem the word you choose (THIS IS A MUST)
DO NOT USE YOUR WORD ANYWHERE ELSE IN YOUR POEM...

step 3...You may not use any background or pics. you must use either:
a black bg with white writing or a white bg with black writing...
The reason for this is...I want you to make me feel your word. Base the poem around the word you choose.


I am looking for amazing imagery and metaphor and unique use of poetic device...If you rhyme, do it well...I allow and am fond of all forms of poetry...I just plain adore poetry in any form...but it must have emotion...Sorry that is me, and it is my contest

Oh, and no hard core erotica or lots of profanity but sensuality is beautiful always...


Here are the 20 available words:


1... kiss X
2... plunge X
3... wander X
4... rub
5... dip X
6... float X
7... shimmer X
8... whisper X
9... sail X
10..saunter
11..bask X
12..interlace X
13..erase
14..mend X
15..seduce X
16..smother X
17..lick
18..meet
19..serenade X
20..wish X


Hope you have fun!


Lynda
