The Sky's the Limit

This is for everyone! I have no preferences. I'm making this so easy. I don't care what you write about. There is no limit to how much you write, what you write, how you write it, just no sticky caps please. I don't care if your poem is depressing, happy, erotic, simple, complicated. I just want your best. I want the best of the best. Give me everything you've got. I do judge creativity and originality. Make up something right on the spot, and take some time and think up the best poem you can write.







Be creative and original.
No WrItInG lIKe ThIS. That confuses me.
I accept almost everything, except profanity.

Best of luck to everyone!




Thank you!
