    They say you can tell a lot from a persons hands. I think everyone's hands could tell us a story so...I'd like to hear YOUR story. I've provided links to 4 very different sets of hands so...take your pick, write me a poem in any form, pm it to me together with your choice of hands, I'll number them 1 to 4 to make it easy haha!!!

    You have one week....closes on 25th November...

    GO! GO! GO!

    First poem in will receive a bonus point which may come in 'handy' in the event of a tie :)

    Well....someone has stepped up and claimed the first bonus point...well done!

    Next poem in will receive a"get out of jail" award. This may be used to knock a point off any entry that you feel is a threat to your own poem. What are you waiting for...get writing!!!

    I will try and get one in, I am too busy wringing my own at the moment.

    Hellon, im sorry, I can't help it. I have to say it.. Do you need a hand?

  • Hellon

    Well Luce...many hands make light work haha!!

    Only one poem in so far...anyone else willing to 'raise their hand' to the challenge?

    Give me a two-finger shot & I'll handle it.

    On the other hand, I may write a poem instead.

    On the third hand, why aren't many more involved?

    This sounds like fun... hands down the best contest I have seen in a long time

    You caught me red handed, checking this contest out.

    But, I can see the hand writing on the wall with my opponents, if I were to enter, I would stay stuck in jail.

    You should enter Kay....I'm sure you'd be a dab hand!

    Mmm...I posted the links to these images while I was in Korea, just got back to Australia today and I can only see #2 (which is huge) and #4...the others I can't access. Anyone else experiencing this problem?

  • Daisy if you do

    I couldn't see #1 or #4

  • Hellon

    I've resubmitted the links and I can now see them all. Hope it works for you now Kay.

    I have to say that I'm totally disappointed in the response to this contest so far...so much talent on this site and yet...only three poems have been submitted. Why does everyone complain that the site is dying and then...when the opportunity arises to participate in something they decline?

    Just sent mine in. It was hard. I think without the pictures it would have been easier, because you already specified the "Your story" part.

    Hellon - I think it just depends on timing too. Seems to be the usual few who will participate but others may not see it or just be busy. At least you received a few poems. Good way to treasure them :)

  • Larry Chamberlin

    Don't hand off the contest yet, Hellon!

  • Hellon

    Looks like we're finally getting a handle on things...another 2 entries have been submitted.

    EDIT

    *Flash promo*

    Next poet to submit an entry will get the chance to guess who wrote the other entries and...for every correct guess they will gain one point!!!
