People are fascinating. They are my main inspiration for writing. Its those small imperfections which make them so perfect.
Please write about a person, but instead of a love poem or a simplistic view of another human being, explore them. And mostly, explore their faults - and somehow make them beautiful.
Prewrites are allowed here. And feel free to enter a few.
This contest is funded by Ariosto. I highly recommend you visit his page and read his poems. He is a true poetric genius.
Have fun
