Im not understanding this...sorry doll..trying...
The only words that change are the first before...is the "" in my life?
I'm a little confused too -- it almost seems too easy the way it's explained to us.
Thank you, Host, if you could elaborate a tad more please?

Hope you took from me,
energy that pumped My heart,
how cruel was the last breath,
hopeless again, and you left.
leading me to this bipolar state,
tearing apart each piece of My lungs,
craying before i fall down,
realizing that the free air now had a price.
moments were reminds me of it,
It, still gone, but neverderless, expect.
It still within the air, althoug It cost me now.
air, was my hope, and air let me alone.
linking my self to what it was no mine,
fighting, every single day for a solution,
giving it to you, completly,
completing the agony of my pain.

Pandora,
Perception. Is the excuse concept that allow us. To discriminate ...
It depends on how you see the poem.
Although you are totally correct but this competition did not say anything against poems related with personality disorder.?

Four
Children fill the air with laughter and song feeding antediluvian oaks and my dreams
Water is our life source, filled with blue crabs and oysters
My grandmother has tilled the earth, reaping fresh okra and tomatoes
She tells me one day this will be mine to tend, to protect
We gather around the bonfire, casting off our doubts in the flickering embers
Our bodies replenished by a bounty of oysters and crabs crackling within our smiles and stories
My students are the air that restores my faith when all else suffocates me
The bureaucrats are the water which I can't walk across
Though I stroke mightily, I'm in over my head
I make it back to shore, cold safe earth under my feet
Binding me to the clay that birthed me
Resigned I light a fire, a source of light
and combustion for the raw nutmeg and cinnamon I need
Air is laughter and hope in my life
Water is salvation and destruction
Fire is a guide dancing me towards bliss
Earth is the womb to which I must return

Its confusing because of the word "pronoun... for the third.stanza.
Your firs paragraph...Write a four line poem using first stanza with an noun and the second one with verbs and and the last one with another pronoun,
Then in the succeeding explanation it's different. Pronoun should be Noun.
Well, just a suggestion.
If I understand it correctly...
First stanza = Noun + element in your life
Second stanza = Verb + element in your life
Third stanza = Noun (not Pronoun) + element in your life

respectfully, i spit on the earth
and those who would walk on it.
and i hide from the wind,
and the rain,
and the cold
i light fires only to hear my cigarette sizzle
i sink just to feel the water's touch on my skin
reminds me of something
and those who would walk on it.
