This is the 2nd collaboration contest run by myself and Suzanne Dia - read her, is so good it's evil! There may be additional outside judges - have a few someone's in mined - if they can be convinced to admit their artful ways. :)
SO WHAT IS IT ALL ABOUT THEN?
Simple. Poetry written when drunk. We are not going to say whether obvious drunkenness or poetic skill will be more important to the placings - you figure that out yourself :)
You can put in a prewrite ... or write a new work but the latter WILL require copious amounts of alcohol. No trying to fool us people - we have written drunk poetry - we know how it looks :)
Anyone who names their poem with any reference to alcohol will suffer dire consequences and unleash the fearful aspect of 'POETRAGE' - nobody wants to see that, least of all us.
Explore; Think; Write! Drink!
We're pretty hard to offend, but if there is a way - bad sober poetry is it!
We hope to find excellence carnage - if you don't think you can write such ... move along :)
There are big points here, so bring your best dress to this ball or we ain't dancing drinking with you!
So raise your glasses people *beer* and get to it.
RULES
-------
Freeverse ONLY
No chatspeak
No cutting, suicide, homicide, etc (Unless metaphoric)

If you can draw a sensual write from that image, go for it, but it'd better be good!

NO MORE THAN 50 lines!
Label appropriately (Adult or Erotica if required etc)
Have fun!

Now do you have to be happy and drunk or can you be angry and drunk or what?
-
Wow, none of these seem to have been written while drunk, if I had any beer and more than 4 hours I would surely see what I could do.

You don't know how badly I wanted to start cutting this up the next day...lol.
Wow, I'm stunned. Thank you.
Congratulations to everyone, I'm gonna stick around and read some of these~
