****I have extended the closing date guys cos i only have ONE entry and i'm kinda sad about that. 
Please enter!****
This is my first contest guys so first of YAY for me! lol.
Ok here are the choices:
1: I want you to use the following sample of lyrics i give you and use them to make your poem. You don't have to use all of the lyrics, you can just use one line or you can simply write something that connects with the song. However, i do want to be able to see the connection if you don't actually use the lyrics. Secondly, your poem MAY NOT simply be all the lyrics. Use your imagination, i want to see what the words inspire in you. I'm just using some of the lyrics from my favourite song at the moment. It's called Scar by Missy Higgins.
She told me don't trust them trust me
She pulled out my stitches one by one
looked at my insides clicking her tongue
and said this will all
have to come undone
Doesn't that sound familiar,
doesn't that hit too close to home
and doesn't that make you shiver
the way things coulda gone.
So that i do remember
to never go that far
could you leave me with a scar.
I think i realised just in time
although my old self was hard to find
you can bathe me in your finest wine
but i'll never give you mine.
Cos i'm a little bit tired of fearing that i'll
be the bad fruit nobody buys
tell me did you think we'd all dream the same.
Those are just some of my favourite lyrics in the song. They're not the song entirely. If you wish to listen to the song IM me and i'll give you the link.
2: I want you to pick the title of any of my poem and write a poem about it. It doesn't have to have anything to do with MY poem, just the title ok. For instance you might pick my poem "Dear Gillian" and write something using that title. Again, it doesn't HAVE to use the actual words as long as i can see the connection ok. Also, it's not compulsory but it would be nice if you commented on some of my poems. It would be very much appreciated.
3: I want you to imagine you have a really good friend, someone you care about a lot. But all of a sudden it's like they dissapear. You don't where they are, or if they're ok. They won't contact you and you just don't know what to do. This is happening for me at the moment. I have a good friend who i met here but i haven't heard from her in quite a while and i'm worried about her. So i want you to express your fear, worry, whatever you think you would feel in that situation.
RULES! Yeah, yeah, we all hate these. I dont have a lot.
1: No erotica. I'm not sure how you'd fit it in with any of my choices anyway but i'm going to saying it now. I don't want to read it. Sorry, i'm 16 and i just don't want to read it.
2: Try and keep swearing to a minimum. I don't mind it a little if it fits with the poem, but please no swearing just for the sake of it.
3: I'm going to allow 3 entries from each poet BUT if you wish to enter 3 you must have a poem for all 3 of the choices.
4: No rudeness. If you comment on this contest, or the ontries of this contest DO NOT be rude, nasty or cruel in anyway. It's not called for and i will disqaulify you if i see this.
5: Last one, lol. Please write which choice you picked in your authors notes. I'm sure i will be able to tell anyway but it just makes my job a whole lot easier.
Points:
1st place 300
2nd 150
3rd 50 (maybe more if i get more points before judging)
Hope you enjoy my contest and i can't wait to read all the entries.

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on July 24, 2004
- Rewards: Gold: 300
- Final notes: Firstly i want to thank everyone who entered the contest. It took a while to get a few entries but once they started coming in i was si impressed with them all. I was really glad to get entries for all three choices and i have to say it was hard to pick. In the end First place had to go to Lucinda by Barbie because the way she incorporated the song lyrics into her poem was fantastic. She really gave the lyrics new meaning and i was really impressed. Second place went to melphleg with Questions without Answers. This poem had a LOT of emotion and that's what i wanted to see for that option. The poem was well expressed and left a lasting impression. Tihrdly was Tonight by dark oblivion. This left me with shivers as it's something i could really relate to. As i said before though, all of the entries were fantastic so big THANKYOU'S to everyone for entering! I hope you enjoyed writing for this cintest and i'm only sorry i couldn't give trophies to all of you.

Your friend who you met on here, do you know her full name?
-
Yes i do. why?
-
Well if you can't find her and are afraid something really bad happened to her you could look up newspapers in her area online and do a search with her name. Just a thought, although I doubt anything that bad happened to her.
-
Well that's a thought. I hope nothing that bad's happened to her though. Thanks.
