Do What You Do... JUST WRITE!!!

I would like to get some unique entries here...

What I want is to poetically tell me how you feel right now.

Are you sad? Happy? In love? Angry? Filled with angst?
Then spill it, poetically.
I rather not read a bunch of day to day crap;
cliche - well, the word means something different to everyone.

Basically - if it's real, FEEL IT, and write it.


100 words or less. Any longer and you're just wasting both our time.




Need inspiration, or a hint of what I mean/like:
listen to some Ani DiFranco.


More points will come with quality of entries...

Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on November 20
  • Rewards: Gold: 500, Silver: 400, Bronze: 300, Honorable mention: 5 people
  • Final notes:
    So sorry this took me a long time to judge, as you all know life can get in the way - and I have had my share of detours lately ...


    I judged this more on emotional impact. So many went over the limit, I tried not to be picky - but some just took it a bit too far lol. The top finalists are all those that reached me inside, and to you all - I am grateful. I enjoyed each write!

    The top 8, well you - blew me away (hence the Hm's at all). Each poem had its own depth and flavor to be digested, though I will say first place grabbed me and would not let go. I do so appreciate all of you for taking the time to write for me... Its so comforting to see there are many hearts out there who can enlighten and amaze. Thank you!
