Poetry Competition (5)
Well the LOVE competition (my fourth!) was won by *doorfromheaven, *Archesven and ~maranga. Way to go guys!! All the entries were fantastic, and I think you found that subject pretty easy.. This month is even easier. But I'll get to that in a moment. First I just want to thank *doorfromheaven and ~maranga who donated their prizes back to the competition. Thanks guys! That helps the competitions keep running, and even though they are a lot of work I do love running them.

This will the 5th poetry competition I've run, and I'm still really enjoying it. I wanna apologise again to the people whos entries I did not comment on for the LOVE competition but we had a LOT of entries and as you know my own inbox was flooded. Hopefully this month I will be back in the swing of things.

General Information:
You can win a three month deviant art subscription! First and Second place both get a 3 month sub and 3rd place gets a sneaky sample, a one month DA sub! For free!

All I want you to do is write your poem about the theme (an original piece only, and a NEW piece, not already posted on DA. Read the rules!) before the deadline, submit it to DA, then drop me a note or comment linking to it. I will comment on your poem and add it to the 'entry' list. In return please link to me on your journal and in the poems 'artists comments' so others can enter. ( : devflutterings : or : iconflutterings : without the spaces is fine )

So this month, for the FIFTH Flutterings Poetry competition, the theme is...

Humour

You may of noticed that I have a particuarly odd sense of humour. I love to make people laugh and feel happy. This month, April, is the saddest month of the year for me. Being the anniversary of my sisters death, so I thought I would let you guys cheer me up (aren't I kind? lol). But on the bright side, you can read each others entries for a giggle and not feel bad about it! Good luck!

The deadline is 11am April 20th 2008
