A competition with a difference

This competition is closed

Please note that this a competition and not a contest!

Okay I don't do these very often but I was just thinking of making a competition that's a bit more personal

I'd like you to write about your Name.

What it means to you
Is it your identity?
Or shouldn't we judge people by their title?

You decide.

It's half term next week(for us brits anyway) so I'll give you till lets say...Friday 16th Feb

Come on guys i want you to really let yourself go. The ones who come out tops will people who have really thought about this.

THE END

HAHAH got ya

you didn't think I'd leave you without telling you the prizes:D:

1st Place: 5 comments and a gold star :)

2nd Place: 5 comments..no gold star

3rd Place: 3 comments

Highly Commended (x2): 2 comments and a coloured star

Everybody else: A coloured star or a comment..you can choose:)

have fun..xxxx

A star? What do you mean? Can it be your nickname? Sometimes nicknames have more meaning.

sure...a nickname is fine...anything that you conisder to be your title..you can even play this to your advantage..your occupation could be your name...

i'm not looking at the technicality..i'm searching for the creativity:D

best of luck to you all:D

I'll give it a shot...

Paige the name meaning of a servant girl
But to me it means more like a pearl
A name to have come to my birth
With just a thought and a name to come to this earth
It is my name it's who i am
It's what people call me to come to them
Paige the name meaning of a servant girl
But to me it means more like a pearl

-Paige

Faceless Mirror

Echoes of shattered light.
Intelligence is bliss.

I am lonely. Ever so lonely.

But I'm not alone.

The tapestry of time has fallen.
And my swollen eyes can't see the blaze.

Innocence, a burden.

This is a old poem I wrote about my "name". It's not posted on my poems and will not be. :-)

this is an old one...but u didnt say(i dont think) if it can be...so here is mine

Disturbed One

I may be disturbed,
I may be insane,
But I have the right to cry,
Whenever I feel pain,

I may be one,
I may be alone,
But I have to the right to call,
Anyone on the phone,

I may be disturbed,
I may be one,
But you dont have the right,
To laugh just for fun

Emma, Moo Moo, Wings

Emma is among her friends,
Emma loves them dear,
Emma wants them to smile,
Emma wants them not to fear,

Emma isn't just a name,
Emma isn't just a face,
Emma's friends are a part,
In Emma's loving embrace,

Moo Moo is the daughter,
Moo Moo is the sister,
Moo Moo is the Aunty,
Moo Moo is no mister,

Moo Moo loves them all,
Moo Moo always cares,
Moo Moo belives in hope,
Moo Moo always shares,

Wings writes poems,
Wings rides a horse of grey,
Wings paints with passion,
Wings does not believe to pray,

Wings believes in equality,
Wings dislikes class,
Wings cares not for simple minds,
Wings hates 'silver' made of brass.

+This poem is based around many of my nicknames and my actualy name, 'Emma.' in the end where it says "'silver' made of brass" that is supposed to represent people who hide who the truly are or fake it. I hope you enjoyed reading my poem and thank you for the challenge. LOVE Emma!+

BUMPITY BUMP

Persuading Act
by BriBri .x. ♥

She’s a burst of luminous colors; eyes always turning her way
Always has her head up high, as she walks through the school hall
Laughing and joking with friends; it’s just another perfect day
She looks so vigorous with her alluring smile, walking so tall

But does anyone really know the truth about this girl?

She hates being so gorgeous, because that’s all that they see
They don’t see deep down into her heart, or her soul
She acts flawless, because that’s who they want her to be
They don’t know that inside she’s lost all control

She’s petrified that they wouldn’t accept her if they knew
Everything that she has done, every mistake she has made
They don’t really know her; they don’t have a single clue
About how she has deceived, and how she has betrayed

Not ever again will her life be on the right track
She wants to get it all out, she wants to confess
But she’s messed up too many times, she can’t turn back
Behind her persuading act, she’s really not flawless

^ Idk if this qualifies.. if it doesn't, just tell meee.

Thankss, Hun.

it does qualify because i love it :D

I'd love to do this!! i might take a while but still...

Pip xxx

take your time Pip (love the name!)

if there's enough demand I may extend the deadline if you need it

Thanks Sondos!! Pip isn't acutally my name but I never go by Philippa so.... Oh yeah.. What's a coloured star???
anyways, here's the poem!

*My Name*

Pip, my only label
the only way to describe me
a lover of horses and music
that's just me, Let it be

No other way to describe me
The wild crazy hippy goth
A little bit quirky a little bit kooky
A combination pretty hott!

Not wrong Not right
but different is all
Always there for my friends
when they give me a call

I'm not perfect
I don't want to be
But it's ohkay
I want to be me!

~this poem decribes me && how I feel abouot my name. I feel it is the only to label me or desrcibe me. Throughout this poem there are words that I love to use and how I view myself.. hope you like it!~

Start To Love Yourself By Your Name

Letting you know a little about me
A dark black and a bright white you'll see
Undo all your tears or your fears,i'll take you a trip
Rivers of my heart or the cliff above my soul
And it all will blow your mind when you get a taste of my lip

Guarded by a few dogs at the gate of my mind
Run away if you have a plan to break my heart
Everytime you love me,my hair will become a rose garden
Eject all your negative thoughts,enjoy of your sightseeing
Now you'll be addicted to me when you know you have to go

Some kinda megalomaniac,but what can i do,i love myself:)...hope you like it

What’s in a name?
by: e LIZ a beth.

What’s in a name?
Is it identity?
Or is it something
Separating you from me?

Does it show character?
Does it show truth?
Or is it just something
That is given to you?

Do names have meaning?
Like a grandma who died
Are names given in respect?
Or something you should hide

Or maybe it’s a title
To a story untold
You are the writer
Letting it unfold

If names are so special
Then why are they shared?
Why are they given,
Just to be compared

Labels and character
Truth and meaning
Respect or a story
The answer, unseen

i hope that it qualify's cause i really enjoyed this competition. i liked writting it, but i didnt know if i was supposed to use my exact namee.

anywhooo. thanks :D

everything that's been entered so far qualifies

the standard is really high!

Can the Poem Be Written in 3rd person?

The poem i hadin mind is about someone without a name, s/he once had one but lost the point of having one(i think they became a slave but im not sure)((i haven't written it yet))

Well im going to do it.. you said you were looking for creative.......lol

^go for it

im loving the idea!

wow

you've all really gone out of your way in this contest
it's gonna be a nightmare to judge!

BUMPITY BUMP

Uhh.. i have a question... what's a star? lol okay i am a dumbarse i know..
xxx can't wait for the results!!

For every body who doesn't know

A star isn't anything really it's just a make believe incentive that I thought would get people writing.

Somebody cool once said 'If you have an element of curiosity..no matter how small that will make things a thousand times more productive' (my RS teacher :D)

I figured if I told you there was something new..something a bit different that you could win, you'd all try harder to find out what it is. Call me sneaky but its worked so far

I've ran a couple of contests before and the standard wasn't nearly as high. I'm really hard to please but I am suitably IMPRESSED with these.

So..if you're lucky enough to be a winner feel free to ask for a star instead of a comment or whatever but unless you live within a 3 mile radius of Birmingham in the UK I can't promise anything more than this:

*

and of course all the best wishes in the future.

Well done everyone and keep posting..you've got till 5 pm (GMT) on Friday to post some more wonderful poems

Love you all

Nameless

uhmmmm whats a star?

Elizabeth: info on stars in found in my (rather lengthy!) earlier post

xx

shoot this is due today. im really sorry. we had a blizzard. and im not gonna get this in.

sorry. ... =[

when is the contest going to be judged by?

Come with me to worlds forgot and things you
Heard but now are not. Where truth and beauty
Are a myth. And your mediocre versions of
Reality do not exist. Pretension reigns his sea of
Lies. The martyr's fault is found to be always his
In the end of everything. It's just what had been
Expected of him. To leave and never say goodbye.

will this count? It's okay if it doesn't.

^it does count

Competition Closed

I'm just about to judge these

please bear with me

Yay. Good luck, everyone. :]

Yea,good luck everyone

Good Luck!!
