The Unspoken Tales - FINAL ROUND

    Hi guys! So my creative writing teacher did this in our class where she put a bunch of random words up on the board and we were asked..... to personify them! This round is all about inanimate objects.

    I found most of this list of random objects on yahoo because I wanted a good variety.... I'm asking the four poets this round to chose two [at least] objects and personify them as best as you can. Don't just describe, make me become this object. There are no other restrictions. Have fun & write your hearts out.... please list the objects used at the bottom of your poem once submitted.

    There will be a crunch for time which is, I guess, another part of the challenge. Poems will be due on:

    Thursday, May 9, 2013 PnQ time at night. Thanks :]

    So one poem, at least two objects...?

    Yes :] Only 1 poem but with at least two objects personified. Maximum is 5 objects because I really want the personification to get the reader in the mindset of the object. There needs to be a connection made, wherever in the poem, with the two objects as well. So that they are not randomly thrown together.

    UPDATE: Really excited that 3 poems are in so far, so congrats on that! And I had one entrant message me about the time limit. Therefore I will only be extending the deadline by 2 days.

    I need the one poem by this Saturday, May 11, 2012. But you are most certainly welcome to turn them in earlier as the others have done. Thanks!
