Three AMAZING lines



Welcome to my eighteenth contest...


Write poem with exactly three lines. These lines must be brilliant.

I do NOT want
cute,
lovely,
funny,
sweet,
happy,
pleasant,
religious,
vulgar,
uplifting,
patriotic,
rape/molestation,
erotica,
or anything nice.


Give me something new. Give me something wise. Give me something harsh and clear. Something of the terrible. Something nightmarish. Something thoughtful. Something brilliant.
And do it in three lines.


Open to rhyme, which I love, and free-verse. No acrostics and such. Feel free to curse/swear.








I promise to remove anything that doesn't fit the above specifications.


Best of Luck to All Whom Enter...
