Semi-Quickie ( only 17 entrants)

So this is what's up, I've lost my muse, can't seem to concetrate, am frustrated and I need good poetry.

What I need:

I need poetry that makes you get hooked, a poem that makes you drift away to a place where I may relate to. Imagery and metaphors are greatly needed if you want to win, and please so I can get my muse use words that are bombast and complexed. I need new vocabulary please.

What I don't want:
A simple description of whichever prompt is offered. I don't want monotone writes, I need something fresh and unusual.
Don't use common clichés please, use your head, search deep inside for words and metaphors, they will not only help you get a chance to win but also to improve your writes.


Before the prompts I want you to CAREFULLY read the rules so I don't have to clarify them again:
- No erotica nor porno
-No emo stuff here please, keep it beautifully dark.
-No sticky caps
-check your spelling and grammar ( I do know I also make mistakes )
-Put the option chosen on your AUTHOR NOTES please.
-Follow instructions so you don't get lost
-And be nice and patient with me and the rest of the poets.



prompts:

i. Quotes:

a)Some have been thought brave because they were afraid to run away.
Thomas Fuller

b.) I am not dying, not anymore than any of us are at any moment. We run, hopefully as fast as we can, and then everyone must stop. We can only choose how we handle the race.
Hugh Elliott

c)Between two evils, I always pick the one I never tried before.
Mae West

d)Never to suffer would never to have been blessed.
Edgar Allan Poe

ii. Titles:
