Viva Las Vegas:
In honour of the late, great Elvis Presley, 30 yrs since the man passed away
- I am not necessarily looking for tributes to Elvis
see where this takes you:
you could if you want, write about what you was doing on the day he died
I love narrative poetry, show me, rather than tell
mix it up ..... make it contemporary
Write as you see it.... ..... but don't fuck it up :!!
and please, please, please .... no end line or centre aligned pieces, call me a bitch
or a stick-in-the-mud ... i don't like much of it, unless it's done bloody well
The rest is up to you.... ....... this contest will close, when i choose to do so

I disapprove of this contest, insofar as it implies Elvis is dead. We are all acutely aware that is a myth. It's OK to have a tribute to Elvis, mind you, because he is the King. And you have to feel sorry for someone who had Michael Jackson as a son in law for a period. However, we should not make light of the problems faced by musicians who fake their own deaths and then are captured by aliens, only to be held hostage in Area 51 when the damn craft malfunctions and lands in New Mexico again. And how cruel is it that Area 51 is so damn achingly close to Vegas. And to have to spend every stupid waking hour listening to the press claim that Dean Martin also is dead, when you can see his cryogenic head right beside, still toasted. Yeah, I understand the logic of this tribute, but give the King a break. He ain't dead. All those donuts don't kill you.

See, a man after my own heart The king is never dead

I'm going to add line end rhyme, center it, and put it on a glittery damn background just to honor the ever flamboyant king!
Elvis never died,
and Elvis has left the buildling.
Wish I could applaud contests, sigh.. -

i actually always sort of disliked him after seeing the documentary...
he was so selfish... even if he had all those inner devils... but i guess we all have those

hello hello hello, I'm home at last.
Saw this contest, didn't know it was about Elvis, but ya know, my stepson just got a job in Vegas as a dancer - he's a Man of Olympus, which apparently is the top club in town. Good money, not for the faint of heart.
My pen has run out, but I hope you get lots of fun entries in this contest.
