Three Sides Of The Pyramid...Focus The Elements

The image is "Time" by Ben Benowski
It must be credited if added to your work.

This theme is the "coming out" for our new group
centered around mentoring connections: The Blue Lamp Post

http://allpoetry.com/group/show/The%20Blue%20Lamp%20Post


We are looking for writes that pull together three
specific elements in a focused metaphor of meaning.

Think outside of he/she/it. Do NOT limit yourself
by assuming elements relates only to air, water, earth, fire.
Think personification and deeper metaphors.
We are also hoping you will take a moment and consider
our group if you are interested in exchanging knowledge.



THE RULES

1. Please left align.
2. Please no sticky caps.
3. Proper spelling and grammar are asked for, no chatspeak.
5. No cutting, suicide or self mutilation.
6. No erotica. Tastefully sensual is always welcome.
7. DO NOT use the title phrase in your poem or as a title, please!

Thank-you for your interest & I look forward to your creation!
Blue & Pamela


Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on March 9
  • Rewards: Gold: 1300, Silver: 900, Bronze: 600
  • Final notes:
    Pam and I had a wonderful time reading, deciding, rereading and deciding over!
    Many of you took the prompt and ran with it. We certainly agreed that there were some original takes on combining
    "three elements". As always, our two finalists without trophies will receive appreciation pts. I hope entrants here had fun in bringing their concepts to page as that is what it is truly about.
    Sincere thanks for your efforts,
    Pam and Blue

    Oh, I am so sad that I missed this one. I love both time and ancient Egyptian culture. That was a great idea for a contest.
