I am hosting another contest that is STRICTLY for dirty pretty poetry ONLY. I don't care if there's little or much punctuation, you all should know WHAT dirty pretty is exactly by now. Wow me with your ability to make something dirty so pretty. (haha) Standard rules apply. If it's not dirty pretty it will get DQ. Enter, and amaze me. No lime limit, just try to spell correctly. Get writing!!! Unlimited entries.
Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on January 3, 2008
- Rewards: Gold: 300, Silver: 150, Bronze: 75, Honorable mention: 7 people
- Final notes: This was an amazingly hard contest to judge. I was tempted to add many more awards just so everyone could win something, but I think the ten I chose were the standouts. Gold really deserved it. Thanks guys, for all the awesome entries, and I hope you'll enter my future/current contests.

enlighten me, what is the true definition for 'dirty pretty'? I get confused as it means different things to different people!
-

I've learned that there is not a SET style. Some use way too much punctuation to add to the visual effect of the words, while others sometimes use absolutely none at all. I have poems using both techniques. Just look at some of the poems entered to get an idea of how different it can be. The subject is what matters most to me. Broken love, broken homes, drug abuse, alcoholism, sex, etc. All such ugly, dirty subjects, somehow made pretty.
