Judging will take place in two weeks time. (November 27th, thank you).
Prompt is title or picture, but with a twist.
I want you to write it like you normally would, then in the author's note, I want you to flip it over, literally make your end your new beginning, and take it from there. Does that make sense? It doesn't have to be a Palindrome, just use the end you've just finished, and take it from there, either in your author's note, or to the very bottom of the original. .
I want the same amount of emotion invoked, (not necessarily the same emotion itself), in the second as in the first.
If this step seems too much just stick to writing for the original prompt.
I realize word restrictions confine-so if you cant stick with it, that's okay too. The trick is to turn in something wonderful and original and all you..
Sexual orientation is not important, body parts aren't either (well...they are, but not as much).
Go deeper into the picture than that, there's a reason I've changed it five times to bring you something inspiring.
50 to 100 words, no more.
I want to feel you.
Im not talking about real life, but in your write, you knew that, huh? lol.
Have fun and you have one week to reserve,
three weeks to complete.
best wishes, and of course, ~Thank You~
Love,
jin

I don't understand what you want doll. Flip the wording around like mirror the words, but it must be the same emotion?
'I am
Sam'
'Sam
am I' type of structure?

write the poem from your one original perspective-that'll be the entry itself, then take the end and make it the beginning. Think of it as a slow rewind of the actions and imagery played out above. Trust me, once you do it, you'll know what I mean, and it's helped my writing tremendously. (thanks Ben

So, a rewind ... I now have people walking backwards and well .. other thoughts going through my head backwards.
It doesn't make much sense to be redundant in what was created to me, but I'll give it a go. And when I give it a go, the redundancy will smack me in the forehead until thoughts of people walk forward as they rewind by pressing rewind on their camcorder that shows inverted images pausing to go back in time, forward frame-by-frame.

-
you dont have to be redundant, I dont think. Just rewind-use different words if you want, but try it from another view, or be a wuss and just write from the picture...lol.

Busy doing what? Damn my mind wanders over to wonder, a total eclipse of forgetfulness only to be reminded by the reality of a touch .. tantalizing bliss.

I am going to do a palindrome then I will be safe in every case
or maybe I won't
Oh, I am so confused. I will have to go and consult the stars and maybe a starfish or two. Oh my, oh my I am sure that someone will be brilliant. But, I doubt it will be I.

I would never have thought we'd all be ready for something that difficult. I've attempted one. once. never again, my head hurt for days. it's actually not as hard as I've made it sound. Just write your poem like you normally would-then in your author's note, make your beginning out of your ending. You do NOT have to use the same words, at all. Just use a different persepctive, whether time, space, seasons-location...those kinds of things. if its too much, just write for the prompt itself and dont even worry about it, darling.
alright? -
-
But then, ... I wouldn't be able to tease you. I can't reach out and tickle you so got to go with the next best thing. You know I do my level best to give you my best. anything else would be an insult. But, I couldn't resist. ...
Love,
Tom B.
