Alright lads and lasses, here's a new contest for you to click on, read through, and then ignore because your day is much too important to waste on such a trivial contest. My first contest was based on experimentation and originality...
I was slightly disappointed by the offerings.
So this time, there's only one trophy. No, I won't be adding more. Why? Because trophies aren't really the point, are they? If you're writing poetry just to get a silly trophy on this site, then you are writing poetry for all the wrong reasons! Poetry should be about art and growth...
And Insanity. Which is the theme for this contest.
Here is a list of titles. Find one, use one, let it speak into the depths of your insanity and produce a work that will make me howl with laughter or twist my eyes into a funny squint, trying to figure out what you were thinking.
Titles:
1. Crunchy Panda Muffins
2. Killer Dirigibles
3. Don't Touch That Faucet
4. Gender Misalignment
5. Jill's Lime Green Roadster
6. Pu-wah?
7. Monopoly for Morons
8. Dear Dracula...
9. Who's Licking the Hydrant?
10. Mr. Wiggle-Bottom
11. I Love My Squirrels
12. Puzzle-Haters
13. Washington B.C.
14. Zugglebort the Great
15. Phone Pregnancy
16. Thumbtack Ballet
17. Aim for the Lowpoint
18. That Tickles
19. Squirm and Shift
20. Poker Bluff in the Buff
I'll choose the winner based on how much Prozac I ingested that day. So make it weird. And even without the points as motivation, doesn't everyone need to practice being insane once in awhile? I promise I'll give feedback... and it may even make sense.
