Poetry Screams Prompt Contest


=dreamsinstatic's Poetry Prompt Contest

Introduction: As Autumn rolls in the world around us begins a shift. The days grow shorter, the shadows taller, the weather cooler. The earth itself seems to shed its skin and reveal to us its most beautiful colors and shapes. The harvest begins, Halloween arrives. In the spirit of Autumn and Halloween I present to you the Poetry Screams Prompt Contest.

Expiration: 11:59pm (WST) October 31st, 2009.

The Contest: Choose one of the following prompts and write a piece of poetry based upon it. Allow your mind to stretch the words out as far as possible, be creative and have fun. In fitting with the theme I have chosen 12 prompts, half of which lean toward Halloween and Autumn. Also please remember to favorite the article.
