Alright! So with the tremendous success of my first contest in which absolutely anything went... I'm gonna try this again.
Show me something beautiful.
that's it.
I wanna see a picture painted with words.
I wanna see beauty in text.
I wanna know what you think is beautiful.
Rules *gag*:
1. adult, erotica, and cussing are okay. just don't be utterly obscene with it. if you're going to make it erotica, at least make it sensual. If you're going to cuss, at least do it sparingly and to emphasize a point.
2. free verse, rhyme, whatever.
3. don't bash people. you will be dq. no exceptions.
4. make me pine. i want the hole in the soul feeling.
5. celebrate diversity. homosexual, heterosexual, bisexual, whatever. be you. make it beautiful. i don't care how u do it.
i can't think of other rules. i hate rules.
It can be a beautiful love, a beautiful scene... anything. Take the word beautiful and let it inspire you. Go.
