I resent pretentiousness,
so don't give me any of that here.
Flashy words don't impress me,
and neither does shit--I can find that in the toilet,
I don't want to read it.
Prompts:
1]
"make me
a personal
color
to define
common
men
I will sulk
on the sofa
drops of
perspiration
over
scrambled
eggs
and I
will open
the shade
when I
learn
to smile
again
-ahead of you, apples fell (excerpt)
♠
2]
Cinnamon
♠
3]
Off
-
Choose one, choose two, combine all of them--I don't care.
Just hand it to me.
-No dirty pretty. Ever.
-Tell me which prompt(s) you chose in your AN, por favor.
-The rest is left to you ...
I may or may not comment,
but be receptive and open to constructive criticism.

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on October 26
- Rewards: Gold: 666, Silver: 123, Bronze: 123, Honorable mention: 4 people
- Final notes: I delayed judging this for a while because I had no idea who to give Silver and Bronze, but with the help of kiwigirljacks, I was able to.. (If you're unhappy with your trophy, half the blame can be hers, LoL. But seriously, if you were in the finalists at all, I enjoyed your poem a helluva lot and I'm NOT sugarcoating).
Thanks for playing !

Will you enter?
-
-
How could I not with prompts such as those??? Working....
-
-
!

Thank you >< I was looking everywhere
like a constipated muse
in search of scattered thought droppings -
-
HAHAHAHAHAHA!
I especially like the first prompt.
It's an amazing, amazing, amazing poem.
-
-
hah 666 points and thirteen days? This is so ridiculous, I must must enter.
(And James is bloody brilliant, so there's another reason.) -
-
13 days was automatic, but my birthday is on May 13th, so I have an affinity with that number.
!
Yeah, he's brilliance personified.
I can't wait for your entry.
-
-
automatic shmotomatic It's thirteen on purpose.
*eerie music*
He really is. Sadly I see less of him these days. -
-
No, it was seriously automatic/default, LoL.
But I love coincidences...
Not leprechauns.
He's a busy beaver.
*used a lame ass cliché* -
-
Leprechauns ARE sort of terrifying. And I should totally be sleeping.
Busy beaver, indeed. I don't know why, but I always think that sounds like innuendo. (okay. I do know why.)
I will try my damnedest to enter. -
-
Busy beaver, an innuendo?
I didn't even intend one...LMAO!

tres interesante.

Do you comment only to tease me
and not enter?
-
-
I reallllly
wanna do this <3 -
this one
-
-
Gotcha...
-
-
dirty pretty. i don't really /get/ that term. what the hell is it? was my poem... uh... i forget the title of my own poem. the second last one i did. is THAT dirty pretty? so lost. someone should define it.

thanksoverymuchimhonored

You're most welcome, Puppy-Saver
-
-
yay! Green is my favorite colour - so I'm not as adverse to the H.M.s as others seem to be
I didn't envy you the job of judging on this one! -
-
The HMs are in order...
I think.
So yours is the HM I liked most.
Your poem rocked!!! I loved "you are nothing but a dusted brown outline"--that was seriously poetic.
This was fucking hard to judge...
I remember having contests where 90% of the entries sucked
and it was easy,
but now I'm getting lots of good entries.
:C
Green's my favorite color too...I think most people are insulted by "Honorable Mention", not necessarily the color...but yeah.

-
damn.
Thank you
