What Love Means ~ Collaborations ONLY! CONTEST RULES

Blog Posted by Walayee Poet Lay Whitlock-Ishway: 2/19/2011 1:07:00 PM

Hey Poets!

Many have asked whether they can write with someone who is not on the Soup and my answer is YES! But I challenge you all to write with someone who is and with whom you have not written with before. To speak to what Love truly means and not why you love a specific person. Ultimately the choice is yours whether to write with someone on or off PS.

What to Submit?

1 original, poem on the theme of "What Love Means." Written specifically for this contest!!! Please find a partner on the soup or not (2way collaborations ONLY); only 1 participant of the collabo is allowed to enter the write into this contest. Maximum of 10 lines per person; please no more than 10 lines per person.

Form must be RHYME.

Preparing Your Entry

Submit one copy of your poem online. Please make your entry easy to read. DO NOT WRITE WITH SOMEONE YOU HAVE DONE A COLLABO WITH BEFORE on PS, (unless you're in LOVE with that person). Please do not put your names on your poems; initials are fine.

English Language

Poems should be in English. Poems translated from other languages are not eligible, unless you wrote both the original poem and the translation.

A Note to Poetry Contestants

You are welcome to enter this contest, whether or not you won a prize in one of my previous contests.

I'm so happy that everyone is exctied about this contest!!! I can't wait to read and ponder over the submissions. Debbie, the question you posed is the very reason I selected this topic. Because we are all unique with very different interpretations of "What Love means". I believe we will get some great and highly diverse write's on this topic. All of which I'm looking forward to reading. P.S. I do believe in both "God and the Devil"; can one believe in one and not the other Debbie? Have fun guys... Lay

Thank you Lay for allowing me to write with "an outsider" but he is one sexy guy and he loves to write, so hopefully we can create something beautiful for you, very excited now to get started, "Henri, get your pen and turn off that TV" ~~

LOL what LOVE means??? it depends on the person you are what would you think love means to God or say to the devil?{IF you believe in either? to answer we would assume you do!]
