The purpose of this challenge is two-fold, (1) to create a literary piece of beautiful art. (2) to write something that evokes a certain feeling so that your readers may remember how you made them feel when they read your literary piece of art.
Also, the challenge of this contest is to use more than one word in your Poem, or Story Fiction or Non-Fiction in 50- 500 words. An example of this can be found by looking at my poem (which is not an entry for the challenge) on my blog entitled, Purple, Chocolate, and Beauty.
Combining words can convey even more of your voice and the message you wish to create and express. So join me in this Writing Impact Challenge as we have some fun with words.

I have an urge to put every word in the body of text... 😂
It is so hard to choose.
I feel the same way! I'm trying to decide. I'm pretty sure I'm going to wind up using a lot more than 2-3. We'll see.
makes poem using solely those words
Yeah, or minimal other words.
I wrote one using every single one of the 50 words, it was maybe 65 words long.
It flowed well, it was magical,
I clicked cut instead of copy when I went to save it to a word document...
2 Hours later and I just can't get the magic back :o
sadness
No!!!!!
I almost did just that. I put all 50 in too. It was a laborious, yet somehow enjoyable task.
I feel your pain, I have done it before too. Link it to me when you find your groove, so I can resteem it.
My condolences.
Managed to somewhat salvage it, but just couldn't figure out how I had the last 3 stanzas, thus them being, a wee bit jarring.
At least now I know to copy the text from the preview first, and not where I'm typing it in!
Here's my entry! I uh...Had fun with it... ;)

Thank you for your entry @deeclown I love it.
Hello. Do you mean each person can only choose 2-3 of the words listed in his entry or you mean 2-3 of those words must be in the title?
Both @tolustx your poem or story must contain and be about 2-3 words from the word list above and when you create your title it should include the words you have chosen to use for your poem or story. Use the poem I did as a reference for what you will create you can check it out here. https://steemit.com/poem/@rensoul17/purple-chocolate-and-beauty
Okay. Thanks.
Wish I could partake in this... But poetry and I do not speak the same language😥
Lol. What about short story?
Oh... Okay, lemme try that! Thanks
Steemit is very encouraging and inclusive of any style of word jumble... Trust me. I had never written anything creative, and much of what I still write is a subconscious mind spew . But people are so kind and I enjoy the process so much now.
Have a go.
I don't normally write to prompts, but maybe I could use a little shaking up. I'll see what I can come up with for this challenge!
very nice photography ...
i like your post very well ..
thank for sharing with us ...
& keep the top up ...

All I can say is what a dream and maybe the opportunity was not forever missed. What's yours will come to you. Anticipate your dreams coming true and make intentions, which will open the door. @tolustx thank you for your entry.
Thank you.
Thanks for the challenge.

@theloneword, thank you for your entry. And thank you for allowing the reader to accompany you in the fullness of your dream journey.
I love a good challenge!! Stay tuned.......
Okay. I did it. I couldn't help myself, I put 3 in the title and all 50 in the text. I think it will be my sole accomplishment for the day. Perhaps I'll manage a doodle after I rest.
Thanks, it was a very enjoyable experience. I look forward to seeing this contest flourish.
Advanced warning- It's a rambler.

A nice poem that takes your readers on a nocturnal journey. Thank you for your entry. @aduragbemi.
I want to begin by saying thanks to all of you that entered the writing impact challenge. It is so encouraging to have so much support for my vision on this one
This challenge has shown such an overwhelming response that my decision on the winners will weigh heavily on those who followed the rules of the challenge. Just a note to remember.
I will also be extending the winners circle by five more places, based on what I have read thus far.
It seems it's going to be a fight to the finish. The entries have been incredible and all of you should feel good about the work you put in.
This is the last day of the challenge and I really hate to say goodbye. I am sure I will connect on some level with many of you again. Thank You all and whether you place as a winner in this challenge or not you are all winners in the literary world and in life, so please keep on writing, keep on adding to your body of work, and keep on Steeming. Loving you all @rensoul17
I'm gonna finish my piece tonight and tmrw - thanks for this post about following the rules I certainly will. Cheers @lonestarpoet
Oh no! I found this post like 30 minutes ago and I'd love to participate. When you say Saturday at midnight, does it mean I still have the whole Saturday to publish it or tonight it's the last chance? :(
