Vote which one I should submit please!

 

 

Pandora's Box

If only I had known

Not knowings not a sin!

But if only I had known

That if open that box I did

That all the horrers ever,

would come rushing in

They told me I was a punishment

send by zues in hate

They told me I was a punishment!

And since I opened up that box

of jealousy and greed and age

I think they deserve it for treating me this way!

Now look what I am saying

it has already started

Now look what I am saying!

I must endear and preservere

And look on the brighter side and hope

For that too came out when the box parted

 

or

Spring cleans up winter's mess real clean

To make way for the queen

Known for icepops and chlorine

Summer's here! She brought sunscreen!

She (ocean) waves to her subjects

(Rain) bow we do not neglect

However could we forget?

For her everything must be perfect:

No: snowing, leaf blowing , teachers- homework- spewing

Yes: growing, bugs glowing, ball- games -with -throwing

And yelling, and smelling , and lemonde selling

Finding your muse,walking with no shoes,

And doing whatever whenever you choose

A midsummer's night dream every night

To sleep outside, Queen does invite

It's our “unaliable right!”

Now if only the mosquitos would not bite...

or

 

With my mommies ring

And a hannah montanah wig

And ballet shoes

five sizes too big

I am a princess and I rule the world!!

 

 

All my dollies bow down to me

all my dollies worship me

Dress in pink and give me drinks

like milk thats flavored strawberry

 

I am a fairy princess ballerina

What other type would I  be?

But no yucky prince boys

To marry

 

All my dollies bow down to me

all my dollies worship me

Dress in pink and give me drinks

like milk thats flavored strawberry

 

With my mommies ring

And a hannah montanah wig

And ballet shoes

five sizes too big

I am a princess so give my icecream!!!!! 

 

please?

I would have to agree on Pandora's Box. The last one didn't really appeal to me, but Pandora's Box was quite good. :D (You should probably proof it first, though, I saw a few minor mistakes.)

I like the second and third ones. The second one had me laughing, but I love the style of the third one. I like Pandora's Box - great concept, and you carried it out pretty well - but if you want me to narrow it down, I'd take it out, which is hard, because it's such a different style. The third one is pink and yellow, the second one is yellowy green, and the first one is dark blue with some brown and purple and silver. If that makes any sense. (I tend to associate colors and sometimes textures with writing.) This is a summery contest after all, not that it has any limits on content, but still. All I can say, I guess, is that you write well, and I'm sure you'll do well with whatever you send in.

Pandora's box, for sure, but correct the spelling.
