got something extra?

 

 

 

This time I want something I’m not going to be able just read once,

I want something that will make me want to read over and over.


I want something that offers that little bit more.


I want a concept or image that I wouldn’t have other wise thought of.

 

I want views that my eyes haven’t seen before.

 

 

 

I don’t want religion, politics or suicide.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Only one prewrite per person is allowed. The other entry is for a fresh write.
If you enter two prewrites you'll be asked to remove one. If you don't, then I will!

 

 

 

 

 

I prefer free verse but if you think you can wow me with other styles feel free to enter them.

 

 

 

Obvious errors and cliché won’t be entertained. The entry won’t place.

 

 

 

 

 

Oh and this contest isn’t anonymous, so no silly business. Yes that means you!
Points will increase with quality of entries.

 

 

 

 

Ok give me your best shot!

 

 

 

 

UPDATE: Now all spots are filled I shall work my way through commenting and adding my favourite entries to the PF list. Please be aware judging may take me a while as I am already aware of many outstanding entries.

 

Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on August 21
  • Rewards: Gold: 400, Silver: 200, Bronze: 100, Honorable mention: 5 people
  • Final notes:
    Thanks to all that entered.

    The pieces that placed highest were the ones that either wowed me with new ideas, made me step back a moment and think, ran away with my heart and soul or used wonderful metaphors and descriptions that took my breath away.


    Well done to the winners.

    All that finished in the preliminary finalists were my favourite pieces, and if I'd have had my way you'd have all placed. Unfortunatly, I'm only allowed to give eight prizes....so....


    Thanks again to all and congratulations to the winners.

  12. Please isn’t the magic word we use when we want more of something in this house
    And the scariest stories aren’t things we hear on the news,
    But rather they come from letters we open up in the mail.

      Only one prewrite is allowed. If you wish to enter twice the other entry must be a fresh write.

      So, you may enter once with a prewrite.

      Ok?
