The Best/Worst Day Of Your Life...So Far

To anyone who hasn't seen The Simpsons Movie [which is really good, I have to say] then the title comes from that - and that is exactly what I want. Describe to me the best or worst day of your life...so far. What happened? When? Who With? Did you win the lottery, or did you forget to get a ticket the one time your numbers came up? It's a fairly simple contest and I'm hoping for a wide range of entries. So get cracking!

Points will start low, but I have many and as the quality of writing goes up, the points will follow, along with Honourable Mentions.

I am hosting two other contests

One is about Superheroes: http://allpoetry.com/contest/2362484
One is about Sunsets: http://allpoetry.com/contest/2362426

Please feel free to enter any or all of them!

For this contest, prewrites are allowed and multiple entries, but no more than 3 and only one will win a trophy, I feel it is fairer that way.

Anyway, good luck to you all and take care!

By the way, I would much prefer if you used real life experiences and that the stories were true, even if it happened to a friend of a friend of a friend of an uncle's second cousin in Outer Mongolia, but I'm not going to be able to check, it'd just be nicer that's all

Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on August 25, 2007
  • Rewards: Gold: 300, Silver: 150, Bronze: 75, Honorable mention: 13 people
  • Final notes:
    Well, this was a very good turnout - thank you to everyone who entered, especially to those who opened up their hearts and souls much more than I would have imagined. A few people who entered more than once would have won more than one trophy, but I thought letting another person have a go was fairer.
    Well done to all the winners

    Gold - One Hot Summer's Day - Bazza
    Silver - Deaths Kiss - Snow White Queen
    Bronze - Distilled Friend - Acidanthra

    Plus 13 Honourable Mentions.


    Oh yes! How could I forget...I have decided this contest would just be worst days and I will open up a trophy collection point for the best days (as there were so many good poems)
