[EDIT]***I'll be co-judging with the very wonderful prophet, Palkowski.

Donnie: Why do you wear that stupid bunny suit?
Frank: Why are you wearing that stupid man suit?

-Donnie Darko

Give me this:

Tell me what you're hiding,
or what you want to hide;
something you can't express in person,
can't express enough in person,
have expressed too much of.

if I do, expect constructive criticism

Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on January 11
  • Rewards: Gold: 666, Silver: 123, Bronze: 123, Honorable mention: 2 people
  • Final notes:
    I judged with the amazing prophet and insanely talented poet, red violence up.

    The finalists' list was originally the size of well...something VERY large (does anyone want to provide an acute analogy?), but I narrowed it down to 2.

    gold - persephone
    silver - rocking against the edge
    bronze - torn fringe
    hm1 - complex
    hm2 - A Christmas Phone Call to My Father, To Whom I Haven't Spoken In Ten Years

    Winners,
    if any of you delete your poems,
    I will be an unhappy camper.

    I could easily have given out more HMs (and was going to originally),
    but I want HMs to actually feel honorable because let's face it: the more people who get HMs, the less special the trophy feels and an honorable mention in this contest is not denigrating at all here.

      ... if it's in your mind,
      you can make it real, I'm sure.

      Ooh
      You have to enter this one; it's so ambivalent.

      And, have you seen Donnie Darko, incidentally? (Not the prompt of course, but, I thought it'd be good to put it on this page).
