Writing Prompt The last contest filled up and I know some others wanted to enter, so here's another chance. Share with us one of your oldest pieces of poetry, exactly as you wrote it. I want to see all those excessive ellipses, capitals at the start of every line, the abundance of semi-colons, the pretentious repetition, the unnecessary line spaces that are..... SO..... IMPORTANT.... to my art! I want you to swear on your honour you won't edit it before posting (adding an image is allowed, as we're in Fanstory Land). Other than that, no limitations. For example, I have one in my repertoire entitled 'Political Correctness' that's literally just a blank page (I was a very sarcastic teenager). For a more useful example, here's the first recorded poem I have of mine - my Nan confirmed I was 8 at the time: The Snow Quietly the clouds move in, Looking like the hair of an old person. Then very slowly, The dandruff starts to fall. Everything as still as the sleeping mouse, Everything as quiet as the forest at night. Until the morning spreads over the soggy landscape, And children chant their cheers from their places of rest As they look at the white floor outside. And the still and silence is no more. Show us what you had :-) |
This is from 1977. It won 4th place in my first contest. I was thrilled!
