the prompt is up to you.
i'm going to supply a few, but if you feel divinely inspired..you should do it how you do.

-
-
Oh hush. I believe you've one a contest of mine before.
At least placed.
-
-
This contest made me laugh, not a spiteful one, but i love the wording. I won't find myself entering unfortunatly, unless i find myself somewhat amazingly inspired before it ends.
Great contest though, ill be checking back for the winner to see if your rules were met.
Laura. -
Okay. Now I am not entering.
-
-
Whyyy?
-
-
Because I am nothing compared to to all these writers !

"death [[digression: (NOT EMO BITCH DEATH)]]"
Hahahah, that's eliminating more than half of the "poets" on this site.
I will try to give this contest a shot. Even if my work might be considered shit, I might get some contructive criticism. It can't be that bad.
-
-
i don't bite.
hard.
well that's a lie.
i do.
i wish people would take my advice and not rhyme.
i get really irritated when people try to give me things that
a two year old can rhyme.

-
-
-

-
I can't believe you got so many entries after that warm invitation. But hey, it's nice to finally meet the supreme judge of what good poetry is. I'm off to read your poetry and it better be pro.fucking.found.
