Hey everyone! In this contest, you can give me anything and everything, as long as they go along with the prompts I give you. 
What I want from you is INTENSITY!!!! RAW emotions! Make me laugh, cry, smile, or scream it doesn't matter! To see what kind of poetry I like, read some of mine to get a general idea. I want fresh writes in this, given they'll have a greater chance of winning, but I will accept PW's. Catch is, they'd better blow me away or I'll DQ them. IF you want to earn brownie points with me, the prompts with a star by them would. 
Nothing dirty; I can't read it. Also, nothing SHORTER than 10 lines and NO LONGER than 80 lines; my attention span is minimal. Don't try rhyming unless you're a professional at it and can leave me speechless. Now for the prompts. REMEMBER TO PUT THE PROMPT YOU CHOSE IN YOUR AUTHOR'S NOTES!!!
