Ok so we want Dirty Pretty Style.
We love to read it but we have no idea how to write it because we can't find enough examples.
So we don't care the subject, just show us dirty pretty.
♪♪♪♪♪♪ Rules ♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪
♪♪ We prefer you not molest the shift key but if you must we won’t DQ for it.
♪♪ Label appropriately
♪♪ We reserve the right to delete the contest if it doesn’t meet our expectations
♪♪ We reserve the right to DQ a poem if we must. If it's not dirty pretty it's going to get deleted as soon as we see it.
We WILL add points in the end we promise XD
**EDIT: For the record, dirty pretty is NOT erotica or sensuality. Dirty pretty is a STYLE of poetry, not a subject. If you enter erotic poetry, you WILL be removed. Unless that's the topic you chose to write about in a dirty pretty STYLE poem, do not enter it.**

whats dirty pretty?
-
-
dirty pretty is where you use symbols and spaces to make words stand out. read some of the entries and you can see
-
-
Does that mean if you take the symbols and spaces out it is no longer dirty pretty?
-
-
yes and no. because the symbols and spacing make it really good but the formatting will also make it dirty pretty.
-
-
I see what you mean but the poem content has as much to do with the style as the symbols and spacing. Surely the idea is the melding of the 'dirty' side of life with the 'pretty' things?

"'Dirty-pretty' is a diverse and nonspecific term used frequently when referring to a particular style of poetry, prose, lyrics, or music. The origins of the phrase are, to my knowledge, traced back to AllPoetry.com but that is completely up for debate.
~Dirty pretty is~
According to Diseased Mind: "something gorgeous and cancer filled. broken hearts and hipbones. stars and razor-blade wrists. eating disorders, Vogue, ugly, and glittered"
Dirty pretty is...modified scene kids, being pretty in a fucked up kind of way, walking the streets, addiction, glitter, glamor, Hollywood Blvd., toxicity, pixie dust, acid soaked anything, cyanide nightmares, &&, excessive periods, obsession, sex, lies, lipgloss, cheap perfume, makeup, plastic, romance, whores, neon lights, fake, gorgeous, bleeding speakers, shattered glass, cavities, eating disorders, bruises, makebelieve, insecurity, breakdowns, shot gun, hip bones, collar bones, &&all things m e l o d r a m a t i c." ~~~ http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=dirty-pretty
