Rolling With Charlie

 

 

 

 

I have some points to burn, so thought I would throw out a few contests and hope for the best.

PLEASE read all the requirements regarding this contest. 




Free Verse

If you are a lazy writer, don’t bother.

If you haven’t read Bukowski, I suggest you google him and absorb.

NO RESERVATIONS


I will judge on what I like.  Period.






Your prompt is:




"Sexual intercourse is kicking death in the ass while singing."

Charles Bukowski
 
 
 
 
 
 
have fun, kids

Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on March 7
  • Rewards: Gold: 400, Silver: 100, Bronze: 100, Honorable mention: 5 people
  • Final notes:
    There has to be a bit of sadism in those of us who hold contests...judging is a painful pleasure and this contest had me rubbing my temples. Each of you deserves a trophy. Each of you is an extraordinary writer. Deciding who to put above the rest was pure hell. I applaud you all sincerely, and I thank you for being patient with the judging. Love, Lane
