Welcome to Gaia! ::


Are you a Gaian in search of that lil' grab of gold to sate your avatar clothing fix?


You a creative junkie in need of a new subject to chew?



Or, just some random writer wanting more fame to add to your rep?



Don't matter honeys or homies: you've come to the right place.




<O Holy Wars Poetry Prompts O>


This prompt contest is divided into rounds. There are no limits on how many this competition will have. During each round, only 5 contestants can compete. In order to qualify, you must send me your poem via PM (link/full post works, doesn't matter so long as I have the title and the poem itself). If your poem is accepted, I will post it onto this thread with your username and corresponding slot number.

The winner of the round will receive 3 million gold! Your name will also be placed on the HONORS LIST at the bottom of this post. I will also repost all five poems chosen with line-by-line critiques.






Alright, past the pleasantries! Here's the rules for this simple poetry competition:


1. FOLLOW THE PROMPT.
2. GET CREATIVE. (USE IMAGERY, POETIC DEVICES, ETC.)
3. DON'T BE BORING.



Got that?






So, here's our current round and prompt:

sooooo.... i think i'm going to take my time with this one now that there's a deadline. sorry for pretty much lying but i decided it would be better if i wrote something more prepared than something out of the blue.

off-topic: i assumed maybe it was you who slipped your finger 'cause i equalized it.
