The following people are invited. No more, no less. If anyone else enters, you'll be deleted and blocked.

[if I've crossed you out, it means you've entered]
First up, the rules -
mwuahahahahahahahaha!
*ahem*
Rules:
- You may not, under any circumstances, cause my beloved death by mentioning a god or a higher power. That'll just kill me.
- I'd love if you could avoid a love poem. [I know, I know, I'm always saying that!] But if you seriously, and utterly, and completely have to, otherwise this 4-headed eye will come and choke your fingernails [gosh, I'm mad] then make this tasty. You could always kill the boy in the poem and I'll be happy [joke].
- If you have to go potty for more than 3 weeks. Let me know so I don't wait too much and hold everyone back.
- Most of you already know, I'm pretty lenient with time. But this time, I don't want it to go more than 3 weeks, because I don't like judging in planes. And I don't want to judge in my personal mental asylum, thank you very much.
- Do not unintentionally bash anyone.
- No length restrictions. I like long tasty poems, I like short tasty poems. Most of all, I think you guys are tasty anyway [*cough*]
- Ahh, who am I kidding, I just want to have 7 rules because I like that number, but you guys already know what the core of the rules are and what not and so on and blah blah blah.
Ps: I read all entries after the contest is over.
haha, I know you guys have been waiting for this. Some of you think you're going to collab with the person you chose, some of you think you're going to give a prompt to the person you chose, and some people probably think this is a face-off against the person you chose [don't lie, tyler - I know you're thinking just that]
But I shall get to the point.
The person you chose is the one who will give you your prompt.
So here are your prompts. Scroll down and look for your name. Ahh ... no groaning! In a sort of indirect, funky way, you pretty much chose your own prompt.

Amera

"Feelings, to me, are very fleeting and can change quickly...which is why I believe in treating "love" as more than that. As an action, something we "do" instead of "feel", it is constant, steady...and we can choose to make it never ending."

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on July 2, 2008
- Rewards: Gold: 600, Silver: 450, Bronze: 300, Honorable mention: 11 people
- Final notes:
1. I'm not too happy that out of 24 people, only 14 entered. Moreso, when I asked before making the contest. And so, thank you to all who did bother to enter.
2. Gold and Silver were at a tie.
3. Everyone gave excellent quality poems, and so all have recieved some prize.
4. I'm not feeling too well, so my comments were short. But none of them false.
5. Finalists are not in order.
6. I will not be doing invite contests for a long time. I'm not upset, just disappointed. And I can't be bothered extending anymore when people don't answer, let alone tell me they cannot make it.
7. Thanks
- Chandni x.

There was a time when you didn't?
-
-
Usually most of the time
-
-
You should let me know then!
-
-
no way, that would be unfair .. if I enter a contest and the host is giving out prompts i have a choice, enter and accept the quote given or don't enter.
anyway it helps me inprove my scope of writing (hopefully)
-
-
-
-
-

it would have been a heck of a challenge going up against Melissa though in a face off. :]
I absolutely love the prompt! -
-
haha - you're little - of course I know you

Ps: Chelsea called you little and doesn't like you anymore.

If I don't write within a week just poke me with something blunt.
I made the mistake of bringing my book with me to work. But I can't read it 'til lunch, even though I'm sitting here doing nothing. -
-
lol - It's okay. I hve about half an hour to waste and nothing to do. Well, I lie. Nothing I feel like doing

-
-
-
-
-
-
-

Oh, there are many things that could be done with that..
Ps: I don't like erotica/sensual
-
-
I'm here.
And another PO contest will open tomorrow sometime, I do believe.
Don't forget to read all the rules in that, although I know there are more than 7.
~J. -
-

-
-
Yeah, yeah. I saw it, but I feel Tyler's prompt is sooo inspiring.
"Ironing"
Yessss. Haha :] -
-
haha - i'm sure chelsea would happily trade prompts with you then. [if 'ironing' is even a prompt]
-
-
lol - there's no exchanging
-
-
Well, I'd like to know how to not write a love poem with Marty's prompt.
-
-
Well, darling
you're our judge in project poetry - you're supposed to be god-like in poems and stuff. Let's see you prove it
-
-
You're a -cough- bitch & eliminated. xD <3
-
-
uh huh, do that for real and you'll see what a *cough* bastard you are
haha ♥
-
-
-yawn-
-
-
-
-
You could TOTALLY write about music. Or body parts, or just lust in general. She didn't necessarily say sex was out of the question did she? Or did I miss that part? *laughs*
-
-
-
-
-
i knew you were planning this!
-
-
& there is still evils to show for it.

-
Hahaha, thanks for the AMAZING pic, Dienush! And...DEITY! Just because I wanted to break your first rule and still be politically correct

-
-
Oh how bloody appropriate
-
*note to self...must kill chelsea for the picture*
-
-

-
-
My picture has been deleted from photobucket
-
-
Thenfor this case, don't worry about the credit.
-
-
Mines done.
-
Done.
x -
I know you're probably pissed at me. I'm pretty pissed too.
But...
In English we are transforming texts from one style to another and my teacher recommended I read The Love Song Of J Alfred Prufrock. When I got to the very last line I thought...hey...that's familiar. And it is my quote.
Sorry to disappoint you. I am as much in myself, no doubt -
-
Not as disappointed as I probably assume you imagine - so the contest is open.
-
-
*blinks* Wow.
I really didn't expect ANYTHING for this one.
Thank you, and I'm sorry more people didn't enter for you
-
-
Don't worry about it - as for the prize, you deserved it.
-
-
I am at least glad that I didn't disappoint...
