I was given a generous amount of points for my birthday
as a gift from Pure Thought - my dear friend, Buddy.
I would like to use them for a contest. Because the points
are a gift, I am taking this contest very seriously. I only
want serious poets to enter.
There will be three options -
OPTION ONE -
Write a poem about nudity.
I don’t want it to be vulgar, humorous, or silly.
I want it to be tastefully written - POETICALLY written.
Any style, any form
OPTION TWO -
Write a poem about vulnerability.
I want to FEEL what you are writing, and believe me,
I know what I am talking about.
Any style or form
OPTION THREE -
Write a poem about want.
This can be erotic want or material want.
I will allow any style or form.
Again, I do not want your entry to be silly.
RULES:
I trust you all know what CRAP is, so don’t enter
if you have to look up the word in the dictionary.
I look forward to reading some amazing poetry.
Have fun, and thank you, Buddy, for an amazing
birthday present.
Lane
