Mimes

There you go. Humor preferred, but write whatever floats your mime boat.

Nothing too graphic. Think PG rating.

And whatever you do, have fun and don't take this contest too seriously.

Two entries per account.

Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on February 23
  • Rewards: Gold: 403, Silver: 134, Bronze: 116, Honorable mention: 1 people
  • Final notes:
    Thank you everyone. There were a surprising amount of serious entries which is fine, they were good. The two judges went at it tooth-and-nail, trying to pick a winner and eventually after much bloodshed we finally agreed.

    I want to thank my wonderful, talented, amazing, and witty co-host Pixiestix for her help. Everyone give her a round of applause!

    Thanks everyone!

      Just post it as new. I don't care. I just don't want people posting pre-written poems that have nothing whatsoever to do with the contest.

      In your head? Poor you. I'm here trying to figure out what that means. If you are feeling poorly, IM me. Or just too much talk about mimes? Yeah, it seemed like a good idea when I started the contest, lol

          Ah good, you had me worried.

          Yes, I need to write a mime poem too. Well, another one. Big question is...how many wells and will there be fire.

    The gold award is much appreciated! Thanks for the comments, and thanks for holding such an intriguingly themed contest - I had a lot of fun taking part.
