Wish I could enter this, but you set the bar wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy to high for me
That was an AMAZING POEM! Holy frick. I cant do dirty pretty. Wish I could... but... I cant
-
-
Psh-shah!!!!! You can do ANYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just put that up as an example, I wasn't setting a bar or anything
-
-
ok.... maybe... JUST maybe.... I will try..... But i cant promise anything... I will work on it though... I think....
-
-
yay! I knew you'd at least try 
-
-
ok... its up...but there is one section up there I dont like, what do you think?
-
-
Me likies, though some of the words are hard to read, it took me a minute
but i like it! i'll be commenting on the day of judging since i'm not sure the number of entries i'll get
-
-
Seeeeee I told you! LOL I SUCK at dirty pretty!
-
-
STOP THAT THIS INSTANT!!!!!!!!!!! You don't suck at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Keep your head up love, I'll make my final decision later 
-
-

What exactly is Dirty Pretty, may I ask?
-
-
Dirty Pretty is when the construction of the poem is different. I have an example link to one of my dirty pretty pieces as an example.
-
-
Alright, so the topic can be pretty much anything as long as I construct it to pop out like your background flowers?
-
-
heheh, works for me!
-
-
Hope the "Abortion" is what you had in mind of the style?
-
-
Oh yes indeed!

What exactly is dirty pretty?
Your example didn't exactly explain it for me! It was really good though!! -
-
If you read a few of the entries, you might get a better idea....lol just dont look at mine... lol I am still trying to figure out how to do it.
-
Thank you ^.^
well dirty pretty is playing with the construction of a poem. Some words
F
a
l
l
Or are s p a c e d out
Random words or phrases are bold or italicized
It's all up to the author.
-
-
Lol okay so I know what dirty pretty is, I'm just having a hard time actually writing one of these poems.
Normally I'll write freeverse and do line breaking thats really similar to this, but I cant seem to get it right when I'm trying to write dirty pretty, any advice?
-
-
Haha I totally understand what you mean, it took me a few tries to finally get it down. Just play with it. Write out what you want to say, then after your done play with the construction. I won't be commenting/judging until after the contest is closed so you'll have until then. Just let your imagination go wild.
Try reading some other pieces too just to get some more ideas.

pre-writes
I have a pre-write but it was collaborated with someone else. Can I still enter it?? -
-
yes of course, just make sure to credit the person you collaborated with ^.^
