What's pedestrian rhyme?
I rhyme by accident sometimes, does that matter? -

Pedestrian rhyme is unmetered or forced rhyme.

just wondering, what's purple prose?
i have this bookmarked..hopefully i can enter

I was just thinking the same thing!! Ive never heard of it before! =/

Purple prose is prose that is so flowery that it draws attention away from its own subject. It is also prose that looks like it was thrown up by a thesaurus because the person used so many big words in order to appear smart.

ooh i see,
i feel like some people think i write kind of like that.. because i do use a lot of imagery and such.
hmm i'll give your contest a try though soon

Glad to hear it. Imagery is what I love
-
-
