Main Poetry Topic: Interior
Because sometimes the greatest moments happen inside.
Optional Secondary Objective: From one form to another! Somewhere in your poem, incorporate a song or album title. You can let the music itself influence you, or simply the words in the title. For extra credit, post a link to the song or album!
Why? Because music can be so very influential. Let it take you somewhere.
Rules version 1.1:
1. Now that we're out of the interim period, we will have a full deadline period for your poem(s).
2. This thread is not merely for winning or losing, but for critiquing and improving your own craft.
3. This poetry thread 'contest' will end on a Friday, and voting will last until Sunday at midnight. You cannot win unless you vote. Although you don't have to submit a piece to vote.
4. The winner must then provide the next challenge theme for the following normal two week period.
5. There are no word count limits, make it as long or as short as you want. Yes, even haikus are fine.
6. Optional secondary aims are not mandatory, you can include them or not.
7. Further addition to rule one and six. You can also try the secondary aim as a secondary piece. Just make sure you label it as such. (This may work as an added incentive to try the secondary aim I guess, as people might vote for either of your pieces).
8. Vote for your favourite poems.
9. Voters should award first, second and third places to their favourite three poems. First place is allocated three points. Second place is allocated two points. And third place is allocated one point.
10. In the event of a tie, the tally will be counted again with first place being allocated three and half points. If it isn't resolved then, it will be up to the OP (most likely the previous winner) to decide.
11. Winner gets a round of applause and will have the records stating it as such.
Deadline: Friday, May 28th, 2010 at 11:59pm, Pacific.
Voting will then begin.
You should get your votes in by: Sunday May 30th, 2010 at 11:59pm, Pacific.
