5/28 Weekly creativity contest winner & new prompt

The winning entry for last week’s prompt, “the last time you kissed me,” is a poem submitted by Brittany Vandeputte:
 

 

The Last Time You Kissed Me
The last time you kissed me,
I didn’t write all my poetry in Edwardian Script —18 point font
I wasn’t into velvets and corsets then
I was peasant blouses and long skirts and boots.
And I had long hair
That I wore down every day for you.
It was in a bun though when you kissed me.
Your hands wove themselves over and under the elastic
Gave a light tug as your lips met mine.
It cascaded free as you pulled me into you—
A tangle of loose threads.
I remember.
The last time you kissed me
Was the first time you told me goodbye.

 

 

Thank you, Brittany. Your $10 amazon.com gift certificate is on its way.


This week’s prompt: “The ocean.”
Use the prompt however you like. All media are welcome. Please e-mail your entries to creativereality@live.com by midnight on Tuesday, June 3. The winning entry receives a $10 gift certificate to amazon.com. Writers should include their submission directly in the body text of their e-mail. Visual artists and photographers should attach an image of their work as a jpeg. Enter as often as you like; multiple submissions for a single prompt are welcome. There is no limit to how many times you can win the weekly contest, either. (You do not have to be a contributor to this blog in order to enter. All are invited to participate.) Remember, the point here is to stimulate your output, not to create a masterpiece. Keep the bar low and see what happens. For more info, read the original contest blog post.
