what can you do with 50 words???

ok. i am very open to a lot of things. but alas there are some things i can not get with . so . rules are .

NoTyPiNgLiKeThIs

no dirty pretty . though i do not know what it is... anyone want to clue me in?

curse and sex is allowed. so is rhyme .
but i will say none of that impresses me.

free writes are my favorite. though i judge for the big picture of the piece. fresh writes only.

50 words no more no less and i will count.
so get penning!

    What is Dirty Pretty...

    Have a look at this colum for a defenition, and explanation of 'dirty pretty'

    It's an evolution of common devices used by many poets, such as spacing, and punctuation, used for emphasis.

    Why ban something if you don't know what it is?
