Hello. Well I have this idea, but I don't know if it would be permitted here or not. So I'd like to ask you guys, and if it was, would you guys be interested?
Ok... I kind of would like to have a contest for teens, about poems. Halloween poems. And see who is more creative. Just tell me what you guys think, and if it is something we can do here or not.

I know I don't have any kind of authority, but I love that idea! I hope it gets the 'ok'! :)

What about old people and Halloween poems? Why only teens?

METERRE · Sep 27, 2007, 10:36 PM

I don't know, I just want to see if they're creative enough... but it would also be open for anyone else...

Whoever wins could have their name posted somewhere on the site for Halloween :p Sorry, when someone gets a good idea my mind races.. lol.

Will there be prizes? I could use a new stove.

Wondergirl · Sep 27, 2007, 10:38 PM

Who would be the judges?

LOL... There could be prizes, you guys would have to help me think what.
And the judges could either be designated people or all of us who'd be in it.

Anyone else interested??

Yeah I think that's a good idea! You seem to have stirred Erika's competitive spirit :-)

METERRE · Sep 27, 2007, 11:55 PM

Cool

No problem with permission... it would go here in Member Discussions. The only problem you would have is verifying that the entrants were teens. There's no way to verify age here.

JoeCanada76 · Sep 28, 2007, 04:19 AM

So the best thing to do in my opinion is open it up for all ages then there won't be no worry about verifing age? What do you all think?

By the way I think it is a good idea.

Well then, I'll start with this little poem I just wrote.

Up from their graves I saw them rise high into the dark October skies
Over the trees they began to soar looking for the little children
Going door to door

Down they swooped howling and shrieking to the streets below
Stuffing the children into gunny sacks that they had in tow
As I ran for cover trying to hide, I heard one say,
"Trick or treat...Yummy tender children to eat!"

Awesome idea, I love it!! I can't wait to see what kinds of poems we get...
Did I tell you I love you today METERRE??

METERRE · Sep 28, 2007, 12:45 PM

By the way yes I think it really is better to open it for all ages. Just one thing, you guys got to help in judging, and those things. And please if you've heard a poem before that is by a known author, it should be disqualified. We got to make sure it's their own creation.

METERRE · Sep 28, 2007, 12:45 PM

Thanks Shattered and all you other guys...

shatteredsoul · Sep 28, 2007, 01:04 PM

You know it baby! I want to be a judge!!

METERRE · Sep 28, 2007, 01:11 PM

Shattered there's a message waiting for you. If you have time read it.

By the way do we start now, or give some time for the minds to start working?? You guys tell me.

shatteredsoul · Sep 28, 2007, 01:20 PM
