Boxes & paperclips

I have way too many contests so I'm going to make this a quickie. Besides, it should take that long.

I want you to submit a "poem" with these two pieces:

1] In my English class, we're making boxes that describe us. On the outside of the box we paste words that describe what we think people see us as. Then on the inside, we paste words that we see ourselves as. Give me your inside and outside lists, with both of them labelled.

[Put a divider of some sort between these two pieces please. Thanks!]

2] Write a short poem/piece of prose about your day. It could be a moment in prose or you day in verse. Don't make it too long though. 20-40 words for a poem and 100 words for prose. Oh and for goodness sake, please no rhyming. Sorry but I don't care for it much at all.

Easy enough, yeah?

Now write!

      Technically it's not my class -- I'm a senior but I'm in junior English (schedule got messed up last year..) but it was such a cool idea that I wanted to do it anyway.
      Maybe later I'll post my "box" poem.

  • oops, I thought this contest said originally to pick one of the two options. Guess I will have to edit and add another one.

    The only downside about this contest is that it seems to require two poems, or two verses that are quite separate. Is is ok if I try to incorporate the entire concept is just one verse? It is a cool contest; I just tend to write very short poems.
