[Baby Tug The String On My Back, Maybe I'll Breathe A Little Longer.]

Okay this is basically my anything contest... Sort of.

So here are the topics I would like to see.

[x] Things you would call “emo”. I don’t like the stereotype emo, but sometimes it is the only way to describe something. So yeah, anything “emo”.
[x] Drugs, the addiction. You know. The whole realm of stuff like that.
[x] Sadness.. Not cliche please.
[x] Real Pain. Emotional.. Stuff like that.
[x] Love. Lost love, broken love, you love each other but you don’t
[x] ANYTHING dirty pretty. [but hopefully it will fit in with the other topics on here.]



*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*



Rules::
[x] Put your topic into the AUTHORS NOTES please.
[x] Use proper language and punctuation.
[x] If you have a dirty pretty poem, DO NOT put a shitload of punctuation in it.
[x] Stick to the topics..
[x] Swearing is okay.
[x] No erotica, sexuality is okay, but no like porn type stuff. I’m not THAT old.
[x] As usual, no dissing other poets, constructive critism is one thing, dissing is another. Okay?
[x] Put your username in the authors notes, because I might like your poetry but not be able to find it if I don’t know your username. I will not judge on who I know because when I can’t see the names, I can figure out who is who anyways. I won’t judge on if I know you or not.
[x] Just have fun.



*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

YAY.

Have fun darlings::

-.Sarah.
