All I want is a simple poem about how a candle, though its flame may be small, can light up the darkest of places.
I plan to use it in a prose poetry speech for a competition. My speech needs time fill-in so the longer your poem it, the better.
I need to get this speech done tonight so that I may practice it tomorrow.
Again, I just want something simple...no symbolism nor metaphors. Don't write it about love or death. I just want a poem about a candle that lights up a room.
Rhyme might be nice but non rhyme is OK.
well that should cover it, I hope I'm clear enough.
Remember: I need to get this done TONIGHT so enter quickly. I may give first prize to the first who enters, you never know!
and don't worry, I will give credit to the winner in my speech.

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on January 9, 2004
- Rewards: Gold: 300
- Final notes: I thank you all for your kindness and generousity towards me. It was so good of you to enter so that I could have a poem to fill a blank in my speech. I ended up not using any of the pieces here, for I found a longer one to fill up more time. I was going to use Purple Sky's poem before I found it, so she gets first place. SexXysweEtie and Blupoetess had a certain flare to their writng and I enjoyed their works so they got 2nd and 3rd. Great job everyone!
May candle flames ever burn by your writing tablets! Lol, something like that!

It was a pleasure to enter your contest and I got to tell you how funny it is that something simple was actualy harder to write without all the deep underlying meaning with it but that is what you asked for so I did what I could.Good luck tomarrow and I hope all goes well for you.

Thanks so much! I can sympathize, it's hard to write a poem without making it all like...poetic! LOL, thanks again for the luck! I'm not saying that I'll need it, but I will take it!
