Too often I've seen the same old same old, over and over again
I think everyone could benefit from a little originality and creativity
so I want something new from each of you that enters, try your best to make it unique, something that speaks about you, there is something about all of us that makes us different. That little part of yourself should be your inspiration
rules hinder the creative process, however i would appreciate it if you didnt insult other poets for any controversial piece they might submit, if you need to be harsh so be it, but no need to be vindictive.
good luck.
