A Different Kind Of Quickie (PIF)

UPDATED: due to lack of entries, the contest rules have changed.

New rules:
- ten to twelve written lines (does not apply to those already entered or DP pieces)
- prompt in authors notes or I will comment, but not consider you at time of judging
- gold is to PIF (send me the link so I know that you have)
- reserve if you want, but make sure you come back

---------------

I've never seen a dirty pretty quickie before, so I decided to make one.

Prompts:

1) the picture above

2) black & white photographs

3) ashen tears

4) poisonous kisses

5) acid lips

Rules:
- must be dirty pretty.
- prompt in authors notes or I will comment, but not consider you at time of judging
- gold is to PIF (send me the link so I know that you have)
- reserve if you want, but make sure you come back

Apart from that, no other rules.
Commenting on other entries is polite.

Points will more than likely increase.

Enjoy x
Keira

        I think I like going to the doctor and getting shots and acupuncture better... dirty pretty pains me. I'll read it sometimes and I always think how much better the poem would be without it. Just me though.

        Otherwise I would enter.

        Any chance you'll change the rules and allow just more than dirty pretty?

            Okaaaaay.... Wow.... Sureeee... Have fun with that.

            Yay! Okay. I might write it during the day and then enter when I get home! So don't close until I get mine in. Pretty please? It's too late to give you anything decent. Wait no.. I'll just stick a reserve in for now. That fine?
