Inspire me!

I've had a hard time writing poems lately. Apparently I'm running out of ideas.

So what I'd like you to do is to submit up to five entries that contain one or more thought-provoking question(s) that will hopefully inspire me to continue writing. I will try to answer your questions poetically in my comments. The questions can be personal if you like.

Please keep swearing to a minimum and label adult content correctly.
But nothing relating to erotica, please!

I reserve the right to not comment if I choose to.


Have fun!
Annie

I re-opened the contest because I have been away for a week. I am so tired, I don't feel like finishing the commenting now, sorry... I hope I'll get it done soon, though.

Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on September 8
  • Rewards: Gold: 500, Silver: 400, Bronze: 300, Honorable mention: 5 people
  • Final notes:
    Wow. What a great contest! I received some really beautiful and thought-provoking entries, and quite a few of them inspired me to write! I'm sorry it took me such a long time to get this done. I felt so drained for the past few weeks and I've just had a hard time trying to make myself finish this contest...

    The winners:

    GOLD:

    "Deepest, Darkest Secret"
    This entry really made me think! The person who asked this question challenged me to look deep into myself and reveal my innermost.

    SILVER:

    "Pondering Thoughts"
    As you can see I haven't commented on this entry (yet). I was simply stunned by the breath-taking beauty that even lay in the way this writer asked their questions... And so thought-provoking. I'll probably be spending all my life trying to answer these.

    BRONZE:

    "Inspiration...."
    This one contained a lot of questions and inspired me to write a quite long poem - and even a rhyming one.

    The HMs are in no particular order, these are "just" a few more entries which I liked a lot:

    "Decisions"
    "What Lights Up Your Life"
    "Questions for Annie"
    "Weakness Or Strength"
    "Look Deep In Your Soul....: P"

    Congratulations to the winners and thank-you to everyone who entered this contest!
