Greetings everyone.
Thank you for checking out my contest, feel free to enter if you'd like and just have fun with it.
In the first contest I accepted any rhyming poetry, in the second it was only fresh writes, and now I'm choosing to use title prompts.
Choose one of the ten titles below and see where it takes you.
(I came up with these titles, if any of them are the same as anything that already exists then I apologize, I didn't know.)
The Life of a Dying Man (You can sub Man with Woman if you want.) Blood and Guts
A Door in the Clouds Every Other Day
The Dying Secret
What Sleeps Below?
Seven Spirits Whispering Future
Middle of the Night
Here are the rules:
Rhyme only. (Any rhyming style is fine) No prewrites. Any subject/topic is fine. (As long as it relates to the chosen title.)
One entry per person. You can reserve if you want to. You can include images if you want to, just try to list it's source.
Shouldn't even have to say this, but no sticky caps, it's just annoying... I'm looking for actual poems too, not just a page with words that rhyme.
I will actually read and comment on all entries. I will also judge fairly.
Have fun. Thanks for entering and if you like the contest then look for Give Me Rhyme or Give Me Death 4 shortly after this one closes.
Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on September 1
- Rewards: Gold: 400, Silver: 200, Bronze: 100, Honorable mention: 2 people
- Final notes: Thanks to everyone who entered. Once again it was very hard to judge. There wasn't one poem that I did not like, but I had to select the ones I felt were best out of the group.
If I do a title prompt contest again I will have more than 10 titles. This was my first one and I was just experimenting with it.
If you liked this contest then look out for GMRoGMD4 which will be up very soon. I'm not sure what the prompt will be yet. I try to do a different prompt for each one while still staying with the rhyme only theme.
Congratulations to the winners and thanks again to all who entered.

I will admit being slightly disenchanted for not receiving an answer upon inquiring why my poem had been removed. I realize now, that having thought the poem only needed to "relate" to the title prompts provided, that I had titled my poem incorrectly. However, I did follow the prompt. A little heads up for not understanding or at bare minimum a short explanation as to why I was pulled would have been appreciated.

How could I answer when I was offline? I'm pretty sure most people know title prompt means you have to use the same title. If there was any confusion in the rules then I apologize. You may re enter with the appropriate title if you want to. Sorry if I disenchanted you.

Thanks Nick. I had to figure on one hand you hadn't seen my inquiry about this. I suppose I got frustrated, having spent the time to write for the prompt in your contest, then got zapped without a word. No hard feelings. Good luck with the contest.
