Yolla everyone =]
Felt like holding a contest.
So let's get to it =]
i. Metaphor/word prompts -
Basically - use one of these phrases as muse to create a master piece.
(sure, if you can find more than one word that brings a spark go for it)
The challenge is to not use your selected word in the poem.
Anywhere.
Hint the metaphor side of things.
The list is as follows:
- Awaken
- Unintended
- Zombie
- Photograph
- Crash
- Misleading
- Blank Canvas
- Thorn
- Blue
- Circus
- August
- Metallic wristband
ii. Title Prompts.
(italics = credit)
[and yes. I did just go through my ipod and click random songs]
- Keep Holding On -- Avril Lavinge
- Growing into you -- Soul Asylum
- The Last Song -- McFly
- This Boy's In Love -- Presets
- Instant Messenger -- Muse
- Hate this and I'll love you -- Muse
- True Romance -- Tiger Army
- English Girl -- Eagles of Death Metal
- Beautiful Disaster -- Kelly Clarkson
- Black Background -- Presets
iii. Write a letter to me ^^
Tell me what you love about me,
Or what you don't.
talk about random stuff.
Tell me things I don't know about you.
I don't care.
As long its a "Dear ... " [whatever you people call me... Claire is usually a general one... but everyone seems to have different nicknames for moi ^^]
type thing that you could send in the mail --
Anything goes =]
:: Rules ::
I know we hate them but they're honestly commonsense.
♣ Place the chosen prompt in your AN + your screen name out like this:
N o i r M a r i p o s a . . . x
♣ Legible Backgrounds && Writing
♣ Up to three entries each - preferably one for each option :]
♣ Spell Check
♣ NoNe Of ThIs or Lyk dis.
♣ Boxes make great friends, but sometimes you need to step out of them. In other words people; no cliche. you're better than that.
♣ Please no religious writes.
♣ If I have an issue with your piece... This time I'll let you know. Note I'm not a mean judge - just give constructive criticism.
There's probably more but I'm tired and ... yeah.
Have fun.
Pen your best.
Points to be added.
Any questions just ask.
