congratulations you have made it to the top 12!


in this round you will be writing apostrophes
no, not the punctuation haha

writing apostrophes [click]


you will write an apostrophe in freeverse format under 30 lines to something from nature.
- examples of objects to write to:
--> trees
--> grass
--> flowers
you get the idea.
also, if you pick something specific and different from other entries that will get you some brownie points.


other rules:
+ freeverse ONLY
+ left aligned
+ imagery/metaphor/poetical devices
+ be creative
+ spelling/grammar
+ write to what you wrote your apostrophe too, I don't care if it's obvious. write it down anyways in the authors notes.
+ name spaced out in authors notes like this: s i d e r e a l

*side note: this round is called earth, because of the nature theme. any other questions just message me or Juana.


have fun,
Emma and Juana.

    does the topic have to be something from nature, or can i personify, say, childhood?

    • nature please?
      although that sounds like an awesome idea
      maybe incorparate it?

    i'm not entirely sure i understand this. :/

    • alright so you are going to ask for advice from something fromnature
      such as a tree and you are just going to write about asking for advice from the tree
      why the tree?
      how did it help?
      and what is wrong?

      that is about it
