Free Yourself.

Hey... For this one, I want Memories.
Not just ANY memories,
but those ones that make you wanna laugh and cry at the same time.
You know the ones...?
I mean, you don't have to write about one right away... think about it.
I want pieces from the heart.
Tell me about it, and why does it make you feel like that??

Use any form, Dirty Pretty is welcome, anything that helps you tell the story.
(In fact... I LIKE Dirty Pretty! Also like acrostics...)
Swearing, erotica, etc, all ok...

I'm allowing prewrites, but I'll warn you, it better be good. I want freshness. It needs to fit.

No other rules, if adult, label accordingly, yadayada...

Take care people, write where this takes you-
Release!

  • Final notes:
    There were so many writes that it was hard to choose between.
    Yeah, I know. You've heard it all before.

    I know I only recieved about 4 freshwrites out of everyone...dunno what to say about that...
    Aaaanyway!

    You do need to read the very top entries though, there were some amazing writes from you guys.

    I need to thank you all very much for entering. It was an honour to have read into your lives, if just a glimpse.

    I have a new contest going, if you're interested! It's maybe a little challenging for some of you... http://allpoetry.com/contest/2434243

    Love to you!
