criminal thoughts

"Happiness is the greatest crime" - Ya'akov Rotblit

a contest aimed to piss you off
in a creative way of course

for incurable romantics who don't write for points,
are still human, and can make the difference between guilt and shame

you can even post stamps
red, blue and white depictions containing the slogans hope, dope or nope are excluded and will be penalized

religious writtings will be purged and their authors sent straight to their organic origins

feel free to steal for classics as long as you use internet jargon
ex.: ure, lol and rolfmao

please don't try to be an unaware dilettante

(don't) have fun

    or poetic enough to hide the fact they're pissed off

    Are you trying to scare people from entering or scare them 'into' it

    The simple act of attempting to write a poem pisses me off. Lately even just thinking about thinking about writing a poem pisses me off.

    Happiness is really awful for making art. Turns it all to some fake saccharine mush.

  • i'm not exactly clear what the prompt is here. can you help me out?

      clear prompts end up at best in good journalism

      what i had in mind was "the perfect expression" and the lack of words that is generated by it

      but of course you can write of whatever else that quote may or might inspire you to...

    Thanks for the shiny and points. Glad the poem left something behind -- an impression that is.

    Lisa.
