Death Cab For Cutie

WELL HELLO.
I'm bored. And sick. And absolutely love the band Death Cab For Cutie.

SO
The whole point of this contest??
Yeah, go look through songs by Death Cab For Cutie. If you're a fan, pick your favorite. Just pick a song of theirs and let it inspire it.
My personal favorites? (not sure if you'll get brownie points for picking one...)

Title and Registration
Crooked Teeth
What Sarah Said
I Will Follow You Into The Dark
Soul Meets Body
Your Heart Is An Empty Room
Someday You Will Be Loved

Etcetera...so.

PICK A DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE SONG!
Let it play all you need in order to get inspired! Write the frist thing that comes to you!

Now...
Rules??

Nothing erotic...or dirty-pretty or whatever...

Write like a normal human being.
NoNe oF tHiS
Punctuation is optional...
Check for spelling, but it's cool if you screw up a word here and there.
Not mandatory that you have perfect spelling or grammar.
JUST EXPRESS YOUR THOUGHTS!
Write with your own style.
Erm...keep cussing to a MINIMUM.
The effect of the poem is lessened when all I see is *bunny*...I mean...yeah.

Length is up to you.
Style is up to you.
Rhyming is up to you.
Format...everything.

Complete freedom!
Kind of. : D

So start listening and start writing...


BY THE WAY!!!
Put the song you chose in your author's notes...
I want to listen to it and see where you're coming from! : D


**Notes**

If you feel you have a pre-written poem that fits one of the songs you've found, contact me, and I'll allow you entry...if I see your point. : D

****The points for the awards...I may start adding on more points since I'm gathering some more as this contest remains open. I might had HMs if I feel I should add them, and obviously I'll add some points. : )

Other than that...just get writing. : D

Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on June 3
  • Rewards: Gold: 400, Silver: 100, Bronze: 50, Honorable mention: 4 people
  • Final notes:
    First off, I'm EXTREMELY sorry I took forever to judge. I know I said to some people that I was going to judge on Sunday, but that wasn't possible due to repairs being done on my ceiling...sooo yeah.
    ANYWAY
    This was an amazing contest! Because of the entries, I mean. lol Seriously, it was pretty hard to judge this. I actually had to use a point system, and that's why I added some HMs--because there were a few ties, and some poems I just loved. lol
    Thank you all for entering this contest, and I hope you go on to write some more wonderful things!
    Thanks again!
    And sorry about the delay. lol

      Haha, yeah, it has. I think I'm gonna close it and judge it later today (meaning...10 hours? Dunno.) so it should be over soon. I just wanted a lot of entries. : ) Besides that, I haven't had any time to judge. >.< lol
