Da Kine Dictionary
PIDGIN WORDS WANTED for Da Kine Dictionary. Tok Pidgin?! Good. Den go help us celebrate and perpetuate da Pidgin culture. Go write down one Pidgin word. ...

You have it spelled Pidgen, yet the Dictionary and Encyclopedia both spell it....PIDGIN ~
No deductions, as I am not sure.....and you are the one who lives where this is Native tongue.....so I'll let it go :)
OK....after ummm.....20 reads!!!!!......I finally caught on to the dialect!
...Hehe ~
This is brilliant Julie....nice job ~
However, I don't want to have to read something 20 times before I catch the Flow and meter to be able to enjoy something.....but since this is between us, I can say.....nicely penned ~
Lots of Creativity involved with this write....lots of Focus on your Theme and a tremendous amount of respect for the Tone placed throughout your grammatical choices.....if you can call dem dare words...uh huh ~
The Lasting impression is what will score very well here.....Power is subtle, yet your dialect is strong and makes a great Impact ~
Pidgen ( is )....oops!
Not much else to critique here.........nonetheless.....keep your fingers crossed for bigger scores in some of the other areas I look at when judging :)
Good luck and God bless you!

Title Already mentioned....yet it's a great Title to make me stop and want to read this write -
Flow Difficult at first....and secound, etc....but after a while, my brain adjusted -
Depth Not too much told.....only a small amount about the language....but I wanted to know more -
Theme Perfect -
Feelings Expressions are noted, but feelings fall short -
Grammar Love the effort with this unusual write -
Presentation Each stanza is formatted perfectly to fit your Tone -
Uncommonness I learned something new today :)
Sit & Ponder Affect Quite the creative side of you coming out -
Ability to follow Rules ( 1 ) filler word -

Good luck!

Lol, I don't know what Pidgen is and I only understood most of the words
The way you wrote a piece without breaking the rules in this way was quite unexpected
Tsk tsk, imagine if one of the rules was to use spellcheck
Haha, good luck in the contest!

lol...pidgen is the language you hear most often in Hawai'i when you live here...and there really is a Bruddah Cuz

Thanks for commenting...

You misspelled a word. 'Brah' needs another 'h' for extra "cool emphasis" brahh
Besides that I'd say this stands a chance at being in the top 6 hehe good work.

Uh...wazzat? Excellent use of language..great rhythm and flow...I might suggest a comma or two, if I had any idea where to put them!! I'm afaid you neglected to put POP (Poem Of Pidgen) in your AN, and also..your theme is not listed..although, of course, we can deduce from your lucid lines just what it is about. Small deduction in points, hon..for NOT OBEYING THE RULES!!!

I edited it a bit...can you tell??? lol
"choke" means a lot...lol...
I simplified it!
What better chance to try fo use em??
Take care...
*PEACE* -
LMAO Well...no risk of finding "filler" words in this! Yep, I can see right now I was right and you could easily start a new trend in the "usual" rules listed on a contest page...along with no sticky caps, hard to read fonts/backgrounds etc. there'll be one stating no Pidgen.
This IS a little hard to follow, but I think I've got most of it figured out...not positive on "fo'" and "choke kine"?
I love how you've never been afraid to try something out of the ordinary, this being a perfect example. I hope Bear and the rest of the gang appreciate it as much as I have. Between you and boomer, I am definitely leaving AP for the night with a smile on my face!
Good luck, and TY for another fun read.

Ahem...(finishing clearing throat...) Oh, I have no suggestions for improvement for you at this time.
