Quote



As I have way too many points and I am not inclined to host contests of late, I find myself needing to lighten up a bit. So, there you go.

I have one quote; that is enough. I do not like contests that offer choices as you cannot really compare apples and oranges. So, here is the prompt:

Truth fades, and so is legend born. İrous

You should really not use the actual line. You can, but you should not need to.




Please use proper grammar, unless a period piece.

No idiotic stuff like sticky caps, dirty pretty or other devices which defeat the purpose of poetry.

Spellcheck is a must.

You do not have to put anything stupid in the A/N as I will know if you read this.

I would appreciate your name at the end of the poem; that way if I have issues, I can check out some of your other work to see why I have issues.

I really do not care about the form, other than to say that I am not up on the sonnet form so I cannot really appreciate it. Hiaku, cinquain, rhyming, not rhyming, pretty much anything goes. Shorter really is better. I am not up to reading epics right now.



If I do not get any entries soon, I will close this. I need at least 10 to judge adequately.

Contest is Over

  • Final notes:
    Well, thank you for entering. I am disappointed in the number of entries. I really found nothing that fit the prompt as much as I would like. I did find one and picked it rather than eliminate the contest.

  • Vengeance's Voice
    He was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
    He survived but his lover, his soul mate killed, the case was labeled an unsolved crime.
