Poetry Contest

Oh good Feb. 10th is the deadline then....I have a few more day to come up with something. Who knows maybe I just might scribble something down and enter this time. 7 more days may be enough time to find a spark of brilliance...ha~

Give it a try Janine.

Sorry to hear it F.M. Just too busy? I guess there's always the next round.

ok...I took a shot at it! Please keep in mind that this is spur of the moment and unedited!

Welcome, Child!
Look and see the empty pages -
a life yet unfulfilled,
a world not yet created.
Only empty pages that await your touch.
Pick up your quill
and take part in your life!
Every page is in your hands.
Your every word is life itself.
Now breathe!

That is beautiful! It reminds me a lot of Calvin Miller's trilogy, The Singer, The Song, and The Finale. They are all powerful stories written in beautiful freeverse.

There is still five days to edit and get to a final draft. As for me, inspiration will not strike, although I'm still hoping it does in the next few days.

Was awake till 6am trying to produce something... got 2 brilliant lines, but other than that, nothing more. :(
Let's see tonight, though.

Sometimes a poem is not about length, but content. You should just submit what you have when you feel it's done and not worry about finding extra lines.

Well that's two more than me... keep rolling.

When does the poetry contest end? I have been working on something and it is almost done. Don't want to miss the deadline. I thought it was the 7th, but I could be wrong. Please let me know.

The recent to do over the ambiguity of the judging process has awakened the teacher in me, so I'm going to set up a deadline for three weeks from now (that seemed to have been a reasonable time for past rounds). That means this round of the contest will close at the end of Saturday, February 10th. The results will be posted by the close of Monday the 12th. If people have serious objections to this for some reason, or want to plead for a short extension or something, then either post here or pm me.

Good luck everyone!
