Is that a Marilyn in your Longfellow or are you just happy to see me?

 

 

We are looking for mentions of a pop icon in your poem.

Any pop icon-  but they must be iconic 


 

  

 

 

 

 

  SUBJECT: ANYTHING

         as long as you stretch and move

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

da new rools:

 

1. The poem can not be about the pop icon.

 

2. The mention of the icon should fit and not feel forced. The image of the icon can/may be

    elaborated on as long as the icon does not become the poem's focus. 

 

3. The pop icon must never have been married to K-Fed. 

 

 

 

 

 

da usual rools:

 

1. left align

 

2. While we  prefer free verse -some, minor, non-forced end line rhyme may be acceptable

 

3. Imagery!  IMAGERY! Imagery!

    (We are really looking for it in this one folks)

 

4. plain background- no picture

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

isn't it iconic?

don't you think?...

Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on August 7
  • Rewards: Gold: 900, Silver: 500, Bronze: 250
  • Final notes:
    this was tough- as i am sure you are aware al and i have been reading and rereading

    and we bickered a bit..

    ok, not at all.. but we didn't immediately agree which is hugely unusual for us


    1. ed
    2. suzi
    3. pushback


    now- there are going to be those of you who say
    but suzi's poem shouldn't qualify she went against da new rools 1 and 2- but that's the genius of her piece

    because- it isn't about sharon stone at all..

    sharon stone is not on the bus.. just a crotch flasher who suzi calls sharon stone because of the twat shot.. see? genius...




    now there may be some of you who hate the fact that i just used the word twat. good.





    thanks so much for everything

    some great poetry through out.



    Mary and Al

    Oh! Oh! man, I wish I wasn't on an extended vacation from poetry. I have something in rough draft that would fit perfectly here.

    Great contest idea. I wish you two many wonderful poems to read.

    Dick Tracy went home with a Penguin
    while Batman was playing with Robin
    in a phone booth just off of the Cape.

    Poor Lois got stuck in the fast lane,
    caught tight with the Fantastic Four
    as traffic got packed with impatience
    like a crowd of too many honked horns

    but all of this silly surrealness
    was nothing compared to the sight
    of that head covered half by some red
    when old Superman finally came.

      come back
      to the box seats
      your nameplate is still there

      it is still warm
      (i refuse to say how i know that)

    Suzi also broke the rule that the pop star must be iconic. Sharon Stone?

    Yeah, so she was breaking ground in the field of garmentless twat long before Brittany, but that hardly makes her an icon.

    I want my motherfucking money back.
