The Challenge: Write a poem in at least 15 lines using NO adjectives. I had to do the same exact challenge in my Creative Writing class...you'd be amazed at how many people came out with amazing poems. I would expect even better from you guys.
Don't give me any "Oh my gosh, I don't know what I am going to write about" bull-crap. Use your noggin'! Go read one of your friends poem's, go take a walk outside real quick...there is inspiration all around you. Take advantage of the fact that I am allowing you to choose whatever subject you want to write about.
YOU HAVE 3 DAYS.
DEADLINE: Friday, February 29th at 6PM EST.
Good luck!

Ah.Sosha., Lucy sky-diamond & Raazi are in the bottom three. Now that all contestants are merged into one group of individuals, eliminations work differently. Anyone who makes the bottom three is automatically nominated for elimination. What determines their fate is NOT ONLY their poem for -that- round, but for ALL rounds included. The poet who has placed the lowest on average throughout every round will be eliminated. The other two will be safe.
For each place you have gotten in the past, for instance, if you got first place, then you would get one point. If you got fourth place in the next round, then four points would be added to your score. And so on.
The first poet who is safe from elimination is..
Raazi!
Congratulations, you are safe.
We are down to Ah.Sosha. and Lucy sky-diamond. Both ladies have grown throughout the competition, but the one who has just done enough to stay in the competition is...
Ah.Sosha.!
Congrulations, you are safe.
Lucy sky-diamond, you have been eliminated from Teen Idol, placing 9th overall. Thank you for your talent, and best of luck outside of the contest.

Whoo!This would be specially difficult for me for I'm not very fond of grammar lol
Good luck to those entering, should have made them write at least a 100 lines 
-
ohhh.....yea, cool. what are adjectives, now?
I am not very worried about the poem, um more worried bout the deadline. 3 days ain't alot. Unless I get started rite now - ....
-
-
Adjectives are any kind of words that describe.
Like if I said:
I like blue crayons.
blue = adjective
so, for the poem, you would have to say:
I like crayons.
In a poem, you have to describe; that is how imagery is made. So in order to describe a color, you'd probably have to use a metaphor or simile;
example:
I like crayons
in colors of sunsets.
Hopefully this helps.
Psssttt and all you have to do is write 15 lines. Piece of cake! I wrote my poem in 30 minutes. :] -
-
Oh, thanks.
Yea, well, you're you - we're us
Oh, and nice haircut!
-
-
lol I usually take hours to write poems. If I can do a poem with no adjectives in 30 minutes, then anyone can.
It's easier than it looks.
Good luck.
And thanks. lol

-
ARGH. 3 days. Haha
-
Crap! I haven't been on in a few days... Need to get crackin'.
-
I'm going to fail at this one.
-
-
I'll second that on my part ...
-
-
Um, are adverbs also not allowed, Mr. Tangled Angle, sir?
Just checking.
-
-
Good question!
Someone asked that question in creative writing class when we did this challenge, and my teacher said to NOT use adverbs.
So you guys won't use adverbs either.
-
-
There you go.
-
You should give us all a treat. Srsly!
-
-
lol I give treats anyway.
-
-
I wanna treat!

Guh, having read everyone elses, mine falls as flat as a pancake.
-
i'm going to try to get a poem in, but i have a presentation in one of my classes and a big test in another
i hate college -
Hey, look! Everyone got their poems in on time!
Now Tyler will actually have to...kick somebody...out...*is intimidated*
-
what about the title?
-
-
Titles cant have adjectives or adverbs either.
-
-
good thing... not that I would have used an adjective or adverb anyways... psssssssssht.
-
-
lol.
the bright side is..you wont have to endure this torture ever again, in this season at least.
-
-
That is... if I make it through this season alive. I'll probably have a heart attack and die just thinking about this poem.
-
-

-
-
Can't wait until the judging is all done. I'm bouncing with excitement!
-
-
the suspense is killing me *blink*
