Alright here's the deal. I want to see if you can be creative in your interpretations of pictures and prompts and stuff like that, because I've noticed that a lot of people just describe what they see or write a love poem for a love quote or picture, etc... They follow the logical way, which is rather cliche and boring.
I don't want cliche and boring. I want you to have to think and be creative.
Soooo... I've got a few picture prompts for you. BUT there's a catch. Some are dark, and others are light (they'll be sorted into these categories, you won't have to think). That's not the catch. The catch is that if you pick a light picture, you have to find something in that picture that you can cling to and make it dark. If you pick a dark picture, you have to find something in that picture that you can cling to and make it light. Here's the reason: I'm sick of when people look at the picture as a whole, because then everybody gets the same result. Boring. NO! I want you to find a certain interesting element of the picture and base your poem on THAT. That's what I do, and it really makes it more fun to write and puts less restrictions on you too.
RULES:
1) Be grammatically correct, please. It may seem small to you, but it makes me twitch.
2) Put your picture section and number in your AN. Also, not required but will give you major bonus points, put what you found to cling onto in your AN too.
3) Put "Evil angels are the best kind" in your AN so I know you read the rules (because evil angels ARE the best kind, hence the AP name the evil angel).
4) You are allowed to put two out, one in each category, BUT if you do you MUST put your AP name in your AN so that I know you did and don't accidentally give one person two rewards. Don't be greedy, people! I'll check after the contest and I'll be quite angry!
5) If there are a lot of dark writes, PLEASE enter a light poem, or vise versa. I know one option may be easier for a lot of people than the other, but you can challenge yourself, right? Now, this rule is not specifically required, but if everybody writes one kind and not the other, I'll start sending notes and asking for entries the other way. If I do this, please do so so I can not go insane? Thank you.
I think that's about it... So to the actual pictures!
