Four topics, no rubbish 5-minute entries -

I have four options. Choose wisely and READ THE OPTIONS THROUGH or else I will DQ you immediately.

Point amount will increase, as will HMs.


1. Freewrites. Emotional, open - and slipping in and out of rhyme is okay, but not forced. No love/joyfully ecstatic poems. As I've said, I'm not in the mood. This can be done quickly, as I want them raw...
take this "Anti-Poem" by Asphyxiated Grace http://allpoetry.com/poem/2653282
That is a freewrite, in every essense, yet I'm drawn to it like a moth to light.


2. I've recently come across dirtypretty poetry. Give me more. But no love poems, please. I'm so sick of love poems.


3. I'm giving you even more choice here, lucky you...
the normal rules - no love, happy, or rhyme - else, choose and write.

4. Read the exerpt of this song through. It's about anorexia. Once more, please, no love poems, and please dont make it over-joyous. I'm not in the mood, to be honest. Oh, yes, and no rhyme. Please.

"I told another lie today
"And I got through this day
No one saw through my games
I know the right words to say
Like "I don't feel well"
"I ate before I came"

Then someone tells me how good I look
and for a moment...
For a moment I am happy
But when I'm alone
No one hears me cry"

"I need you to know
I'm not through the night
Some days I'm still fighting to walk towards the light"

"I don't know the first time I felt unbeautiful
The day I chose not to eat
What I do know is how I changed my life forever
I know I should know better"

"But there are days when I'm not okay
And I need your help
So I'm letting go"










Have fun.
Don't disappoint - I'm in the mood for good poetry.
