A Challenge of Absolute Nonsense

Good day my fellow poets and friends ...it is hard to find the right contest for the wonderful variety of talented poets I see here but..I think this might make a few think outside the square so here goes ..the general idea is only one ...you have to write a new poem/prose that is total nonsense yet has a story in its body and something profound it can be about fantasy or reality but I want real interesting reading and something to really challenge all poets ....

although we should make the parameters free we need some rules to ensure a wide variety of work and subjects so here are the dreaded rules

1...No WoRk LiKe ThIs It Is DiStRacting from the poem read

2. No Swearing I want the kids to ta enter this too cause many of them have wonderful imaginations.

3. No bashing Religion, Gender or People from outer Space(aliens)

4. No prewrites cause I want original work inspired by the comp.

5. Reservations will be Dq'd if not finished by competition end

6. Please use readable backgrounds ...I wanna be able to read your hard work and I wear specticals..already

7. Be kind to each other

Ok there you have it feel happy to IM me if yah wanna know anything
GOOD LUCK AND I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO READING YAH
