Poetry challenge UPDATE: Deadline Monday October 9th, submit to Skylan
« on: July 06, 2017, 09:44:59 AM »
It would seem that our host for this challenge is M.I.A., so I am calling for re-submissions. Please send them to me, Skylan, via Private Message by Monday, October 9th.

Regards, Skylan

Dig up you dread for this contest.

Write your poem about a fear, any style. Scariest wins.

Last entry date will be 9th October 2017
PM the entries to me

Best Wishes,
B

Your prompt was fine, Richard. These writers are lame. And I guess I have to include myself. I love to enter the contests, and would have this time, but I am sick of entering a contest with one or two others. Maybe fall will bring some new enthusiasm.

no prob about the winner then eh?  ;D

People always talk about the "summer break" and the lull in entries, but there are enough people on the poetry boards posting. As I said mate I was away and completely forgot. Thought deadline was end of August :(

Do you think it would be a problem to extend the deadline?

Hi all, I'm back from hols (huge sigh of disrelief  :) )
Hope blhuie gets some support, it's missheartening to unget much support  ???
I was going to say that I'd enter...but that might be an unpositive!
So I'll just thank b for holding the contest, and say 'shame on you' to the people
who could have and should have entered...like me!

Nobody's entering any of the contests because there is so little support, there's an excellent chance if you enter, you win (and host the next challenge). It is sad. I used to enter them all. And would again ... if others would ... and it'd be a real competition.
