Break the fetters that bond you down! Get angry about it and revolt!
Give me poems about going out against something you feel is strongly wrong. I want lots of emotion, TONS! I want to be able to touch it through my computer screen.
Lemme feel it.
And they don't have to be about laws, could be going out against your parents, a boyfriend or girlfriend who's too controlling. Could be about racism and prejudice. Stuff like that. Yes, serious and not so serious stuff.
Rules!
1) Yes, you can swear but I don't want to see one in every single line and please label it properly.
2) Write exactly what it is about in your author's notes.
3) If I see any bashing. I will smite thee.
4) You don't have to comment others work. But it'd be nice. *Wink*
4) Put "Burning the Book" in author's notes too. So I know you read all these lovely rules.
Also, pre-writes are allowed. But I'd suggest entering a new one. But they are allowed!
Now...
