20 words or less [open all day]

Hii everyone.

This contest is really simple.

I will give you all until midnight tonight to write me a poem of 20 words or less.

Yes. 20 words or less.

If you are wondering, symbols & numbers are allowed, but each will count as a word. [ie: 1, %, #, 2, @, 3, &, 4]

Think outside the box & take the prompt in any way that you want. Overuse of adjectives doesn't make your poem good. It actually makes it sad to read because it's like someone emulating what they think is "poetry" but really, it's meaningless.

Of course, that's in my own respected opinion.

Your prompt is:

typewriter fingers.


I swear to god, if it's cliche, I will tell you so & flog you.

Points will increase, probably.

Pay this forward if you want. :]
& tell all of your friends to enter too. haha
