The Magical Word of F*ck :)

hello hello!
here we go for contest number 5! this one's pretty simple... swear at me!
i love effective swearing in a poem. when i say effective, i mean it is used to enhance the mood of the poem. rules of swearing:

1. The word must be fuck
2. dont use it as to mean sex. it can be an exclamation like "fuck! ill pay you anything if you can end this hell" (yayay dresden dolls) or fucked up, as in "my mind's so fucked up cos my family all got murdered last night". (maybe a little more skillful than that but ya get the drift)
3. dont be too gratuitous with it, and dont feel the need to make every second word fuck. unless youre really angry cos you just got cheated on by a used car salesman, in which case, vent away but still make it good.

freeverse is teh best, only use rhyme if youre good at it. no excuses cos i get annoyed with rhyme quite easily... and i dont want to want to DQ anyone.

be good kids and dazzle me with yo swearing skills!
love and peace,
beluga

    Cool contest. It really is no good to look down on a poem due to swearing. They're just words like anything else that can be used to enhance or trash the poem.

    fuck... what a word.

    "cos you just got cheated on by a used car salesman"

    Ha that sounds like what happens in the film True Lies - I don't know if that's where you got it from or not.
