I have so many points
that I thought I would give some away.
But you have to earn them.
What am I looking for? The answer seems simple enough:
I want a poem that can take me to bed, soft and slow or hard
and rough with a gun to my head. I want a poem that can break
down every single thing I expect and rip a window in the world
for me to crawl through on my bare hands and knees.
I want a poem that kills the critic and silences the masses
or causes a war where the only weapons are words.
I want a poem that cuts off my toes and feeds them to my dog,
or after falling ill from a strangely placed snakebite.
So write me the best poem of your life.
I prefer free verse.
Any length, but no epics.
Basically I want to be entertained, so make it good.
But by the gods, pleeeeze don't bore me...
**The gold winner will be the poem
that speaks to me the most, regardless
of it's form, presentation,
word usage or anything else.
