Love Poetry Competition [ Flutterings ]

Well sadly we must move ever quickly onwards to the next competition, but a huge congratulations to OpheliaWhispers MPMG and DamirSoull (who both donated their prizes to the next competition! Thanks guys!) who were the winners of the third Flutterings poetry competition 'Tokens'. They were amazing entries.

I do these competitions (as people keep asking me) because I love the poetry community, and love helping it bond together. When I see people who have entered commenting on each others poetry it makes me so happy. Supporting each other, encouraging each other... poetry is art too...

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 you have to do is write a poem about the subject..

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) 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 ♥fourth♥ Flutterings Poetry competition, the theme is...

LOVE

The themes have been getting a little obscure and love is one of the favourite things for us to write about, so I thought I would open myself up to the barrage of entries, *quivers*. It really is that simple. Love poetry. Good luck.

The deadline is 11am March 21st 2008
