Please Note: This contest will be judged on 23rd November 2004. ALL entries will be replied to once the contest is over so I can see who I have commented on! I will also, if I have time, write critiques on atleast another one of your poems as a thank you for entering! Thank you to all those who have entered so far! Thank you to all of you that will be considering entering!
Allo everyone!
This is contest number 5 for me! Woohoo!
In this contest i want you to be inspired by music. Is there a song that's changed your life? Do you have emotional memory in a particular song? Maybe you write music or aspire to be singer... what does music mean to you? What would happen if music wasn't in your life?
Is there a singer or group that have changed your perception of life? Perhaps there is a singer or group of performers that you want to tell the world about!
Alternatively, write a poem about a song you've listened to ... be inspired! Or do you write beat poetry and would like to share it with us all!
Maybe you disagree with the sentiments of the song and want to write a reply song? Or maybe you have some lyrics that you've written that you'd like to share?
All possibilities!
This is an open minded contest! I'm looking for passion and originality - I will be moved towards the non prewrites but may the best poem or set of lyrics win the contest!
By the way:
I'm having loads of contests at the moment! I'm sure you will all find one that will interest you!
