No one I know has died this year (yet...)
Therefore I want poetry that has a reason to want to kill someone.
I don't want a murder-guide and I don't want any glorifying of murder. DQ'd IMMEDIATELY if I receive any of that.
I just want reasons to want a death to occur.
Write it as a poem dammit!!
Poetry only.
Rhyme, free verse, form, WHATEVER!
Nothing exceeding 40 lines.
Multiple entires per person.
Spell check is your friend.
No glorifying of any illegal acts.
Really think about the reasons
Use readable font colours etc.
Points added with entries.
MAKE IT GOOD. MAKE IT REAL GOOD
