Summer Poetry Challenge AGAINST YOU

Thu May 21, 2009, 8:08 AM
  • Mood: Joy
  • Listening to: 21st Century Breakdown by Green Day
  • Reading: Poetry Contest Submissions
  • Watching: Terminator Salvation in DBOX
  • Playing: Texas Hold 'Em
  • Eating: Chicken
  • Drinking: Beer
I saw this on ~GainaSpirit's journal, and I was fascinated. But it's a picture challenge, and I'm not much of a visual artist. That's when I thought about how much fun it would be to write poems about these themes, instead.

So, I've created a little Summer Poetry Challenge. We're still taking contestants, all summer. I've done a few new things. You'll notice that there are letters before each contestant. Next to each theme in the list of 100 below, I've put the 2 - 3 letters referring to each contestant, next to the poems they've done. And if that weren't enough... it's CLICKABLE. So join or read their poems. Either way, have a great summer!
