A ONE TIME - CHALLENGE

    All right, I like creative poems. I like Creative ideas. And I would love to see what you guys come up with based on what I am about to challenge you with.

    I don't know if you ever felt like telling your mind to someone, yet if you did, you were afraid to hurt their feelings or to find out their reaction. So this challenge is for you to think of a creative way of telling that someone what you feel without hurting them, or to figure out something you wanted to know...

    Example of what I am talking about:

    There was a friend who annoyed me so much that at the time, I wanted him to stop talking to me, but I didn't want to just tell him to be quiet and leave me alone. So since I knew he liked winning, I asked him, do you like winning? his reply, obviously, was yes. Then I told him, let's play a game then, whoever speaks to the other first, loses? what do you think? He just burst out laughing and said okay.

    Yay, He got the message... hehe

    So based on that idea, I came up with this Story poem:

    http://www.poems-and-quotes.com/life/poems.php?id=1228007

    Your Challenge is to think about something similar, and to come up with a story. Either fantasy or reality. However, I should be able to see the idea clearly. Pretty much, what I am looking for is an idea that can be interpreted in two ways or more ways. YOUR CHALLENGE is to show that idea clearly in the poem, as well as the different ways the idea can be interpreted.

    ------

    There will be Two winners. One winner will be determine by votes meaning all the poems that I receive will be posted for Voting and from there, the winner will be chosen. And the Second winner, will be chosen by me as I don't have any judges. However, every entry will receive a comment. And well, ultimately there most be a winner of the winners, right? So what I am going to do for judging is give every entry a rate from 1-10.. and I'm going to add the votes I received to those points to come up with the Winner of the Entire Challenge. But don't worry about the scoring, I'll worry about that... you just have to worry about writing the poem.

    The poems are due at the end of January 10, 2014.

    The results will be posted, as soon as I can.. However, no later than a week. Eeek. ( well, depending on the amount of entries, if I receive 5 poems. The results will be given in 3 days... if I receive more than that it may take longer).

    Anywho, enough of me rambling

    I hope to receive at least 3 entries!!! Try your best, impress me. I'm looking for creativity, ideas, and for some type of figurative language included in the poem. And I'm definitely looking forward to reading your own style of writing.

    Have fun. OH and PM me your poems.

    Aww, but but but

    don't forget to PM me the poems, Real Meaning that was so sweet.

    I have another one, that isn't that sweet but it's a bit weird

    If I can't live without you,
    why aren't I dead yet?
    because whenever I think of you
    my heart skips a beat
    and I resurrect on earth.
    but if you want me dead
    go to hell, I'll follow you there.

    Aside from Real meaning's poem, I have one poem in!

    Real meaning... can you write another one but , but Pm it to me that way the voting would be annonymous...

    To die
    I have decided to live

    to live I have decided
    to get rid of myself.

    In fire we are born,
    In the stories of a storm.
    We take shape in stone,
    Thus we talk - build our home.

    ---

    With the challenge recieved,
    I sought it, to be achieved;
    I shall give it a try, let it be,
    A story, forged in words - we shall see.
