Since I am not familiar with Dirty Pretty and it seems to be almost banned in contests I wish to learn more about it...So this is a call for your best Dirty Pretty. I want on the fly, good poetry...So here's your chance to teach me...This is a short contest it will be ending July 6th. I will try to comment on all pieces. Have fun and be nice.
I like the idea of short pieces...Friday was an inspiration for this...
I prefer something dark, exotic, fresh, do I really need so many adjectives??? You get the point...move me with Dirty Pretty
Sticky caps and other symbols of dirty pretty are welcome just dont overwhelm me with them.
It doesnt have to rhyme but if your good go for it. Although I do enjoy free verse.
Sorry there arent more points My sweets but its the best I can do..
Just a few rules....
!} No prewrites
@} No more than ten lines (10)
#} Grammer is appreciated
$} Nothing is too dark so be as creative as you like.
%} One Entry per person
^} Please have fun with this

Wow
I'm an inspiration?
I shall certainly try to come up with something.
I take it you mean something like my "Even Sweet Nothings Can Be Bitter" piece? -
Aha sorry about the no longer than ten lines bit!
But I do find it hard to find a decent dirty pretty piece less than 10 anyway :S
DQ me if you like.

I'm pretty disappointed there aren't more entries in this...
You'd have thought with all the people who write it nows days a few more would be interested in giving an example of the concept. -
