So, another silly contest.

It's about love poems this time. I find love poems to be the hardest to master, because how can you turn the "OH MY GOD I can have your babies, you're so cuuuute muah muah" that you are feeling, into well-worded, original poetry that isn't so cheesy and cliche? It's a challenge for me.

SO. The contest this time is as follows:

- Write a love poem that doesn't include more than 75 words.
- It could rhyme, or it could not.
- The title should be a NAME. Or his/her name translated into another language, or the meaning of their name... etc. It should be related to their name.

That's it.

THE WINNER gets to teach me how they do it.
READY? SET. GO.

Yeah, I forgot to post any details...

Well, yeah okay, send the poems through a private message. You have two weeks as a deadline. I'll then post the poems for all members to vote. Then announce the winners. So just like the last contest.

I already have a winner of a poem in! Get those juices flowing, everyone.

Could someone uses the previous poems, or the poem should be written for the contest??

Lovely idea, Noura!

And now you all made me hungry for some cheese. Granted, it would be cheap cheese, and cheap wine to go along with it (because I couldn't tell the difference anyway!) xD
