Yes, yes, another of my contests, though this is much more easier ( In one way - more words. ) and difficult in another ( Harder Prompts. )
Okay, so the details.
____________________________________________________________
DETAILS:
Construct a poem, using one of the given prompts. Only in 20 words. I mean it, it can be less by one or two, but no more.
So, the prompts are:
1. Origami Poets
2. Nuclear Narcissim
3. Devilish Entities
4. Dictionary Diarrhea
5. Heart-Broken Sandwiches
6. A Shovel
5. Airborne Pirates
6. Angelic Schemes
7. Vocabulary Feinds
8. Cereal Killers (Get it!)
9. Avenging Clowns
10. Rainbows of Hell
11. A Sail
12. Holocaust dreams
13. Hate Poem
14. Chocolate Nights
15. Dead Chicks
16. Phantom Valentines
17. Glued Hearts
18. Toothpick Luncheon
19. Milk
20. Dinning In Mediocrity
Ah, yea, you may want to get a dictionary!
Everyone of these can be turned into thoughtful, philosophical poems. I know, so don't argue.
Just because I told you to use the prompt does NOT mean you have to describe the entire thing to me! No, I want you to think out of the box. If you're telling me I love bowls, you ain't gonna win!
Be creative. Imagery and metaphor is the key! Be very amazing and just snick the prompt inside. BUT not bathtubs of sorrowness!
______________________________________________________
JUDGING IS BASED ON:
Making such small poems is NOT easy. Let me tell you that, so is judging very short poem, NOT easy!
It will be based on:
Creativity
Thinking out of the box.
Imagery

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on August 3, 2007
- Rewards: Gold: 100, Silver: 80, Bronze: 20, Honorable mention: 4 people
- Final notes: Aww, this was hard, really hard. The first four blew me away with such precision as if they were linked to my mind. It was really hard and if possible all four of yuou deserved gold.
Gold - Famine - This touched me on a mental and personal level and I was nearly broken to tears, the way it is carved an with such sustaining brauty that I could not get this out of my mind. It wrenched my heart out.
Silver - Devils They be! - A very dark and ingeniusly written piece, exceptionally penned!
Bronze - Origami Poets - A very thinking outside the box stuff and I simply could not neglect this beauty.
HM no 1. Toothmick Luncheon was nearly to the bronze but it was well, hard but I see it that way, anway, it is exceptionally penned! Great job!
All other Hm's touched a sleeping person within me. EVERY entry was well crafted but some overdid the other.
Good luck in future endeavures!
