One-line Poetry Competition!

Adnamarine · 2014-04-30T22:27:13Z

Let's celebrate mourn the end of NaPoWriMo with a contest which does not actually involve writing poetry. You have one task. Dig through the mountains or mole hills of poetry you have written, and pick your absolute favorite single line. The only requirement is that it most be from a piece you have previously written, and it has to be one line. Now here's the other caveat. This is going to be an audience judged contest! After I receive the submissions from all of the contestants, I will put together a poll and the line which receives the most votes will be the winner! Winner of what, you ask? 1st place - 2500 points and a poem written about you (minimum 7 lines)! 2nd place - 1500 points and a haiku written about you! 3rd place - 1000 points! [All points courtesy of the amazing and insane Iggy .] The deadline for this will come up pretty fast so search quickly! Deadline is Monday, May 5 (whenever it ends for you) Please post your entries in this thread. PLUS I can neither confirm nor deny that my personal favorite will also receive a special secret prize...

Crayola scribbles don't have that sincere flow.

my favorite line from one of my poems is as follows:

"All the young knights spent perchance, fighting bad with sword and lance."

From my poem, "A Dryad's Lament", It will be out soon!

We are who we are, and if someone has a problem with that; that's their problem not ours.

From: Remembering you was only but a dream

I need to remember you, because not remembering you is hurting you and watching you get hurt, hurts me.

"Here verandahs lie hot with bladed leaves covering their backs, the cool gums brushing paint."

I like you as an enemy, but I love you as a friend.

I painted with the colours of the wind and ended up having crayola blown in my face.

so drink up, because your liquid liberation is my anchor.

I like nonsense. It wakes up the brain cells.

It's funny how sickness seeps into the body.

Trust in God and all else follows.
