jumping ship


"i know you think
about jumping ship before it sinks
but we are all in this together"



-- ben lee, We're All In This Together



can be happy or sad (or anything else).
i want you to spin a different perspective on the world.
metaphorical pieces are more likely to win.
minimal punctuation & well coordinated line breaks are great.
poetic devices are spectacular.

must be left-aligned.
must be freeverse (no end rhyme).



i may critique.
enter as many times as you want.
closes at my discretion, but not before all spots are filled.
