You have
[Refresh to load countdown.] remaining to get your poem written and submitted!




For many millennia, Pink Fluffy Unicorns have hidden behind rainbows while working their marvelous magic upon our mundane plane, bringing pink, fluffy dreams to countless children but striking dread into the hearts of evil wrongdoers. Now it's our turn to do something in return for our pink and fluffy friends. Let's show them some literary lovin'.

April is the NaPoWriMo month (National Poetry Writing Month) so for April the Pink Fluffy Unicorns challenge you to write the best poem possible about Unicorn(s) and The Easter Bunny (or any rabbit).

If you don't want to write a unicorn or Easter Bunny poem, don't despair. Your story doesn't actually have to be about unicorns or the Easter Bunny, but they must be clearly involved in some way, as must the Easter Bunny or another rabbit. The connection between the bunny and a unicorn may be as subtle and inconsequential as you wish. It's your poem, so write whatever floats your cloud.

We are accepting submissions in two categories: FREE VERSE and STRUCTURED.

You can write any kind of poem you want in any genre so long as Unicorn(s) and the Easter Bunny or a rabbit are somehow significant within the poem. While the theme, tone and genre are completely your choices, there are rules. *Bigsmile*

RULES


Only ONE entry per member, which must be:

1) A poem — either FREE VERSE or STRUCTURED
2) Your own work.
3) Newly written for this contest.
4) Rated 18+ or below.
5) A maximum of 50 lines. Please include a line count below your poem in the body of your static item.
6) Any genre so long as Unicorn(s) *Unicorn* *Unicorn2* and The Easter Bunny or another rabbit are clearly significant within your poem.
7) You don't have to use the words “Unicorn” and "bunny" or "rabbit" within the poem, but if there's no obvious connection to, or mention of, Unicorn(s) and bunnies or rabbits then you won't win.
8) Imaginative use of color, a unique and relevant cover image, and/or emoticons to promote your poem is not mandatory but may enhance your chances of winning.
9) Posted as a static item in your port and linked to this contest forum using a {bitem:XXXXXXXX} link BEFORE the deadline. If you don't know how to create a Bitem Link, check out: "Newbie Hyperlinking 101 - Bitem Format" Open in new Window. and if you're still unsure after that, you can watch this video: "Quick Vid - Create a "Bitem" Link" Open in new Window.
10) When you post your entry to this forum, please use a message title of either “FREE VERSE ENTRY” or “STRUCTURED ENTRY”.
11) No editing after the deadline, which for this round is Midnight WDC time on TUESDAY 30th APRIL, 2019. You may edit as much as your pink, fluffy heart desires up until that time.
13) Results will be posted on or around 15th MAY, 2019.


And why should you enter? Well…

Once you've entered AND your submission has been accepted as complying with the contest rules, then you will become eligible to collect our exclusive EASTER BUNNY & UNICORN Trinket! *Rabbit3* *Unicorn*



And if you haven't previously collected the Pink Fluffy Unicorns Trinket or the Pink Fluffy Unicorns *Heart* WDC Trinket you will be able to collect those too.




And if that were not enough in itself, for every qualified entry, we will give the entrant a WDC UNICORN MERIT BADGE!

Merit Badge in Rare [Click For More Info] "Reviewing MB" counts the most sent MBes on the site. I'm just trying to reach the same goal with unicorns *^*Laugh*^*! Happy WdC birthday week. ~Minja

AND if you're actually good enough to place in this difficult contest against tough opposition, then you'll also win…

PRIZES


For the best ten* examples of poetic unicornification on the site we will award our exclusive Pink Fluffy Unicorns merit badge!!! *Unicorn*

Merit Badge in Pink Fluffy Unicorns [Click For More Info] Congratulations on being the very first recipient of the Pink Fluffy Unicorn merit badge, which I am awarding in recognition of the fact that you wrote the first Pink Fluffy Unicorn poem, which is awesome. I refer, of course, to [Link To Item #2110815] . May you continue to glorify those Pink Fluffy Unicorns with your magical verses and by dancing on rainbows in their honour. *^*Bigsmile*^*


Pink Fluffy Unicorns are very rare and extremely shy, so this merit badge would make a unique addition to your collection.

AND THERE'S MORE…

The First Place FREE VERSE poem and the First Place STRUCTURED winners will battle it out to prove which of them is the better poem in terms of reader satisfaction.
