Okay so too many contests seem to have "No Rhyme" rules these days.
I've decided to change the rules a bit.
Rules:
. No Prose
. No Freewrites
. Be nice
. Prompt in AN
I'm allowing prewrites, but they must fit the prompts.
Any form (provided it's rhyme), any topic, any length.
Trophies and points may go up.
Prompts (May also be used as titles):
. "Closed" sign
. Blue Balloon
. Sparrow
. Hushed Whispers
. Prostitution
. Faithless
. Addiction
. Beaded Bracelet
. Lollipops
. Cut Here
. Wellington Boots
. Star Dust
There you go, write away! <3

Mmmmm...does that mean you allow ONLY end-line rhyme? Any specified form? Or just the simplicity of abba, abba dooo, whooo, hoo, hoo, hoo... Are you looking for sublime/internal/natural rhyme or thosethat write , as if it's metrication, albeit more often sublimation? I like the prompts !

That was a brilliant comment~
I'm glad you like the prompts.
Any kind of rhyme is fine. Whether it's "I saw a fat cat sat on a mat wearing a hat", lyrical, cleverly embedded internal rhyme... Anything. =]

I love rhyme but nothing I have fits any of the prompt and I am not up to writing right now. Some people try to sound so educated when they talk about rhyme ... only to step in their own BS and fall face first. Pity that.

I liked that comment.
People being blunt like that makes me happy...
If you can think of another prompt you'd like me to add, do suggest away. Those were just off the top of my head to keep people happy. =]
