Hello, and welcome all to my Halloween/harvest celebration contest. I felt really inspired by the cheer and mystery of the season this year and thought I might like to run a contest. Here are the Rules:
1. No cussing unless it is necessary to the piece. They say that swearing is a result of a small vocabulary.
2. No StIcKy CaPs. I have bad eyes already, please don't make me blind.
3. If you use an image with your poem that is not yours, please give credit where credit is due. We're all artists here, and I'm sure you would frown upon theft of your writing.
4. No erotica. I don't want to read a romance novel. Sensuality is ok, but lued, crued, and blunt won't cut it.
5. Poems only, no short stories.
6. Treat your fellow writers with respect. They deserve it.
That's it for the rules, I think. If you don't follow them I might automatically DQ or I might warn you first. My advice is to just go by the rules. Now, on to the fun part.
Here is a list of titles to inspire you. Pick one of the titles, using it as the title of your poem, and write your poem accordingly. I would prefer it if everyone would try to pick a different title, but accidents do happen. Here's the list:
Blood-rust Cuticles and Circle Eyes
Sleepscape: Escape from a Nightmare
Phantasm Hold Me
Crooked Earth, Smoldered Oak
Whiplash from a Seance
Deadly Dispersion
Trigger Happy and Grave Sick
Under the Crypt Willow
Powder-bone Dreams
Demons Behind Me, Heaven Beside Me
Death Lies Awake
Dissected Lies
Screams from the Underground
13 Again
Storm Among Graves
Frost Don't Bite
Death Toll: Paid in Full
Nymph Confide
Sulphur Sunsets on the Beach of Memories
Try Three Times, Doubled
Bitten-off Senses: The Perks of Being Buried Alive
Your Fantasies Frighten Me, and Leave Scars While I Sleep
The Road is Long, the Way is Dark
Dimly Deceased
Afternotes: A Message from the Bottom of the Lake You Drowned In
Hangman's Horse
Jack Be Nimble, Jack Be Quick, Jack Followed the Pixie Wick
Silent Scream
Tree Terrors
You Under the Bed
I am looking for depth in the writing of these poems. They don't have to be serious, sad, gloomy, scary, etc. Some of the titles are specifically meant to be joking and funny. I just really want creativity here. Imagination plays a key roll. Suprise me with what you come up with. Terrify me with a haunting tale. Or even tickle me to death with a silly romping poem full of wit. Good luck!
