Life is tough right now and my coping mechanism has seen better days so I am taking a break from AP (not too long) while I battle my personal demons in privacy.
What I want from you while I am gone is what YOU believe to be your personal best.
It might have one many trophies, it might not have won any.
If could be styled or formed or just straight from the heart.
Please let it be filled with imagination, creativity, metaphor and other yummy things.
If you are on my faves list and entering, please TRY and make it something I haven't read.
My only restrictions are: (you knew there had to be some)
No molesting the shift key
No dirty pretty (only because I, myself don't understand it yet)
and please no kicking, biting or spitting at other poets, it's just not cool.
BREVITY will win over longer pieces, I want you to pack an almighty punch with whatever piece you choose.
To all those who know me. Take care of yourselves until I get back.
Love to all.
xx Sam

Expectant brushes lay wet, waiting for the touch of your fingers. But you had left them in search of something easier on you than mediocre palettes and second rate sales.
