Hello everyone! Dogs here with the new POETRY CONTEST! WOOHOOO!!!!!!! Ok here are the guidelines: only poetry can be submitted by placing a link to your writing on this page, if you want to participate in this contest send me a PM and I will give a prompt of two to four words from a piece of poetry or a book. You must use all the words I've given you in the poem.

Here's the other twist, you cannot use the words I have given you next to each other. So for example if your prompt is "Gracious Golden Glittering Gleams" you cannot use any of those words next to each other. They must be placed in separate places, furthermore you poem needs to revolve around the words that I have provided. What do you think of when you read the words given, that's what your poem should be focusing on. These words should be a focus of your writing, rather then words that you just throw into your piece just cause I said so.

The winner will get five reviews from me, second place will get four reviews, third place will get three reviews, fourth place will get two reviews, and two to three honorable mentions will get one review. Useable at any time. The deadline is February 23rd.

This contest is for fun and you get a free review with your submitted work from me. PM me if you're interested and don't hesitate to ask questions. Place a link of your finalized piece in this page to submit a piece into the contest, and at the top of your writing please write what were your prompts to make the organizing easier for me. Thank you!

I might just give this a go. Lay it on me--but hold your breath for rubbish, I'm kinda having writer's block at the moment.

Oh Iki you're adorable, no you can't have the words I provided in my example! Those ones are easy :3, you have to send me a PM to get the words to build your poem around. Although I'll give the poem you just put up a review anyways, why not.

I was hoping to get some more feedback first, but that hasn't happened and my chances are low anyway so...
