    Okay, its june 1 somewhere already.
    not for me tho,
    but I am at work now at ease and I can focus.
    plus I have my last Exam tomorrow
    plus a job interviewww thuss... I'm taking advantage of time here.

    I am somewhere in the Carribean.Britt is in oregon and she's 3 hours behind me, Mel is in Australia and she is 14 hours ahead of me..
    I am in the Atlantic Time Zone.

    Welcome to my contest.
    this is my first time and I am shaking.

    Rules.:

    -do not advertise you are participating.

    -if you are going to join in,
    send me a PM by latest:
    June 3 before 10 pm, my time..

    -I am heartless throughout this whole thing,
    I am not going to extent dates for slackers.

    1: because this site is full of impatient people

    and

    2: because it would not be fair to keep those
    who submitted early to keep on waiting.

    and
    3: because I when things take too long it gets boring.. got to keep the suspense going.

    if you don't enter by due date.. then sorry babygurl, babyboy, babyfreak, babygay, baby whatever. you're out.

    Forms are allowed however, its not an obligation.

    ---------

    Now we go.

    -PROMPT 1-

    welcome, you're in the house of mirrors.
    we pour you a glass of wine at the door, and as you step in all you can see is yourself in every corner of the house.

    you have fixed your hair for the occasion,
    you can't help but notice that those jeans make your bum look fine, you are in love with what you're wearing, you smile at yourself, you feel happy, accomplished. and there is just something in the air.
    and you can't see one flaw within.

    and there you have it

    BAM!

    ~*VANITY~*

    I want a poem about yourself, for yourself.
    celebrate who you are, play your strengths.
    be cocky, get arrogant, worship your looks.
    you are head over heels in love with you.

    --

    the final date to submit these poems.. is June 8th.
    yes, after you have confirmed that you're participating. after June 3. you have 5 complete days to work on your piece and PM them to me.

    GOOODLUCK!! AND I HOPE TO SEE PEOPLE PARTICIPATING...

    -XOXOXOX-

    "I'm sexy and I know! Girl look at that body! Uh! Girl look at that body!"

    Hahaha this is funny yaki.....I know a lot of people on this site who have zero confidence in themselves so I'm excited to see these poems since people will be forced to write about how damn sexy those jeans are lol

  • Yakari Gabriel

    That was where I was going....

    note : this is titled "the house of mirrors"
    because throughout the WHOLE contest you will be writing solely about yourself. from different perspectives.

    so there you go

    if anything is unclear or I forgot something
    don't hesitate to ask, that's why I am here for.

    I have 2 special judges. and 1 VERY VERY VERY
    special judge who I will reveal at the end of this contest...

    The old farmer's hens weren't layin' no eggs.
    So he goes to town buys him a young rooster,
    brings him back throws him in the hen house. Well,
    the Old Rooster struts up next to him and squacks
    "I've been with these hens now about 15 years, ain't no little cocky ass rooster takin' hens from me". Tells the young rooster, "how about a contest",
    "Agreed" says the young rooster. " Ok, we'll run around this chicken coop 3 times, whoever wins, keeps the hens and the loser leaves". "Agreed" says the young rooster.
    On your mark, get set, go....Bawk, Bawk, Bawk Bawk..The old rooster let out , feathers flyin', dust flyin' everwhere,....young rooster right on his tail.
    Squack,squack,squack..old rooster barely in the lead, feathers flyin', dust flyin' everwhere.....Rounding the chicken coop on the third lap....Bawk,bawk,bawk, the old rooster hootin', young rooster right on his tail.... The farmer steps out of his house and sees the melee,
    goes into his house grabs his shotgun and Booom!
    Kills the young rooster with one shot and says
    "Thats the third queer rooster I bought this month"

    I am failing to think of anything lovely in my butt! :( I need a more strict diet from now on ...lol wtf!

  • Yakari Gabriel
    12 years ago

    We all have hidden vanity, we all have things we secretly love about ourselves and hope others would love them too.

    I am dissapointed. for real.

    I will never share the good stuff i find on the main boards if more people don't participate.

    I MEAN IT.

  • Decayed

    I would really love to participate, and your topic is awesome!!!! but due to your Strict Rules of Due Dates, I would rather not disappoint you in my absence...
    good luck with this.

    I will send pms to kite runners now

    The difference between men & women:

    a youngish lady will look in the mirror, yet doesn't see her own beauty ["You don't know you're beautiful, that's what makes you beautiful."]

    a middle-aged guy looks in the mirror at his Dunlap condition (belly done lapped over the belt) his balding head, his wrinkles & chicken legs & thinks: "Damn, Larry, you still got it!"

  • nouriguess
    12 years ago

    Alright, alright. Tried something.

    Keep the theme, keep the deadlines.

    If you people can't see how great you are, consult one of your slavering sycophants chasing after you. That includes spouses, but they may not be as one-sidedly positive.

    ;-)

  • nouriguess
    12 years ago

    Bahahaha. Larry, my sister is asleep, if she wakes up then it's because I am giggling so hard. Lmao.

    Chels, give me some of your self-confidence lol. I didn't think it's gonna be this hard.
