Ani Difranco Contest

This contest is all about lady six-strings herself , the most righteous of babes. For all those Ani Difranco fans out there! Love Ani? Then Enter! I don't care if you don't think you could match intellect with her, or...or...just enter all ready!

*What I want*
 - a poem or song about Ani Difranco (her life in general, or how she personally affected you)
 - a poem or song inspired by an Ani song (tell me which one in your comments section)
 - a poem or song written in Ani style
 - anything about Ani Difranco!

*Rules*
 - you must comment on at least one of my poems, and at least two other entries in this contest for each of your submissions
 - prewrites are allowed
 - multiple entries allowed

Another note: I'm looking at starting an Ani group after the contest is over - anyone interested? We need a preferred member to do so though, any takers?

Happy writing!
~Elsie

    Oh I love Ani Diranco! If I can scare up a good poem about her
    I might have to enter this contest!
    And I could always use the 300 points.

    Cool idea for a contest!

    First let me say that Ani DeFranco is an artist of unparralelled ability.I adore her music as does my sixteen year old daughter.If you need a preferred member to be in your Ani Group I would LOVE to volunteer.I will definately be entering as soon as I sit down and scribble from my heart.I will have to get a nice bottle of wine,some of my Ani cd's and just let the words flow.GREAT idea here.Blessed be and have fun with this.I am sure I will read most if not all of the entries so everyone...be prepared for glowing comments!!Blessed be

    Go go go go

    I cannot live up to her brilliance. This is a magnificent contest idea, and a tribute to one of the most inspiring modern voices. Count me in if you are starting a group.

    Also: look out for our forthcoming Leonard Cohen contest, if that sort of thing is your bag.

    As many have said, her genius is unparalleled... if you started an Ani group I would join in a heartbeat. I have to write something and then I'll enter it as soon as I remember, of course. What a fabulously wonderful idea; I'm jealous I didn't think of it first

    Much love and best wishes -Karina-
