Alright folks,
here we go one more time.
The psycho southerner has yet again come up with a contest, and this time there's some serious points on the line.
Most of you know what a word bank is, good. This, however, is a reverse word bank. Meaning, I am going to put up a list of words that you ARE NOT allowed to use in your poem and or title.
Theme and direction of your poem is completely up to you. Please take my advice and write something with a little bit of thought behind it.
Your poem must be at least 20 lines and must not contain ANY of the word bank words. Any entry that does contain a word from the word bank will be deleted immediately from the contest. Winners will be judged on how well they put together a meaningful piece without having to use the word bank words.
Good luck to all and please enter only original works written for this contest.

I can easily not use those words - been doing a lot of these things - if I had my muse, that is.

Sorry about the line limit! >.< I don't know what I was thinking. I must've skimmed completely over that part.
