Write me Rain





Write me 5 lines

 

 

Each line should be no more than 10 words long (none of these super long lines please cricketjeff!)

 

Minimal adjectives or "feelings" - use objects and images to bring out emotion in the reader.

Please do not tell me something is sad. Show me an image which will make me sad.

 

Any theme goes as long as it is inspired by Rain

 

 

Do not reach for the obvious. Surprise me with your original creative minds

 

 

 

 

 

No backgrounds which show rain

 

No images uploaded with poems

 

Use font colours I can read against your backgrounds

 

 

 

 

 

 

Early entries not recommended. Edit your poem before entering.

 

Have fun with your images. Try to think of things nobody else will.

 

 

 

Emma

    I think it rather naughty to accuse me in this way
    It's not as though my lines are over long
    But rather I have such a lot I feel I ought to say
    Ten words a line, well Emmy that's so wrong!
    But never fret I'll overcome and fix your little scheme
    I'll just ensure each word's so long that you are sure to scream

      damn I knew youd find a way of beating the system. 16 letter long words per line. yes sounds like you. i bet they rhyme perfectly though. I'll go have a look

    congrats to the winners, well done. I look forward to receiving the comment on my entry so I might review what was lacking within my piece.

    rain


    I wish it would solidify
    into glass pellets
    hanging
    so I could sit here
    inside
    and string a necklace
    alone
