Move Me.

This contest is worth quite a few points - so understand, I will be looking for THE best; do you have it?


I like to give quite a few options in my contests, so I will have picture options along with a few prompt-types. I'm not quite sure what I want, but I know I want it to be dark - moving, I want to feel the poetry under my skin as if I were writing it with my own blood pen.


Prompts;

*Vampires; love, hate, murder, lust. Anything, since I know "Vampires" are the craze these days.

*A Masquerade Ball themed poem. I hate to say it, but I will probably favor these poems more than others since I've really been into the whole Masquerade Ball thing for a while now.

*Horror. Thrill me, scare me; I want to be terrified.


Pictures; [Please post them in your poem if using.]

*The Masquerade Ball in the move The Labyrinth [one of the best movies of all time.];

*A dark picture I came across the other day. Not sure who to credit it to but, it fascinated me;

*My Favorite Flower;

Now, I suppose it is fair to tell you all that all of these prompts and pictures have something to do with each other, for me, because of something I am writing. Might give you some sort of hint towards what I am looking for.


Rules;

*One entry per person.

*No bashing; no getting mad at me for not choosing you.

*NO PW.

*No Dirty Pretty.

*No... weird poem-ing. You can have your own style but, NoTHinG lIkE ThIs, et cetera.

*All in all, just...behave.


Now;

Move me.

    I was impressed with some of the entries, and displeased with others. Those who won the trophies did just what I asked them to do; they moved me.

    And so, now I'll move them up, with a bunch of points. Muahaha.

    I haven't written anything in a while. I've been blocked. This contest just got the juices flowing. I'm using all three pictures! Is that ok?

    Thank-you very much for bronze. It was a pleasure for me to step
    out of my normal genre and write for this theme. I too love Labyrinth
    (the movie) and the whole atmosphere of masquerade balls. Congrats
    to all who had their work recognized. Blue
