Quickie, 30 minutes, 10 entries, 50 Words. Beat The Clock!
Reserve a spot.

I am paying it forward



It's not a rule, but if you win it would be nice to do the same and pay it forward.


Your prompt! A snippet from one of my pieces that I rather like. Take it where you will

"inner peace invaded
with the fierceness
of Mongol tribes
burying feudal thoughts
beneath temples
of self-awareness;"



Please do not enter if you are not going to stick around and write for the prompt!


When the entries fill up, I will give you a prompt.
You will get 30 minutes to write a poem in 50 words only.

If you don't finish in time you will be disqualified.


Keep refreshing the contest page so that you don't miss the prompt!
