Poetry Contest Description
Take the song lyrics given and expound on them in poem or prose
I'm giving this comp a month
The winner will be chosen by myself and two local poets here in England at a spoken word event I'm attending.
So, I'd really like to see you guys give this a shot-show your talent D.U.!
IF for no other reason than the fact that each poem will be given a short critique by the three of us (possible that the panel will expand to five judges)
Inbox me any questions
ENTRIES LIMITED TO 25 WRITERS! the first 25 count-then it's closed.!!!!!!!
Title your work, one NEW entry each
Topic is a line from a Bruce Springsteen Song...take it where you like!
"Tramps like us were born to run"
have fun

lay me down
the truth is out there somewhere, i suppose
the mysteries, the riddles all have answers…maybe
i’ve walked around the world more than once
i’ve searched with that old greek’s lantern (it didn’t help)
i came away with shoes in rags and rusted faith
alluvials behind me & before me
& love what is love it hits you like a wrecking ball
it knocks you down dances on your face
it eats your heart your spirit like a piranha
& then it’s gone it’s gone just that bitter taste
like yesterday’s coffee
& you’re glad you’re free you’re ‘happy’
but you want it you still want it
(i hear them out there in the fog i hear them begging)
& that road that hi-way it goes on & on
it don’t end it never ends
except in the grave & maybe not even there who knows
& i’ve cried i’ve cried again til i know
those ducts are dry as the mojave’
& then i cry again
i’m tired can’t you see that i’m just tired
i can’t go on no more i can’t…..
slap together a whiskey bullet & fuck me with poetry

I have jonrot and soula
thank's..that makes 9 out of 25
each entrant will be given a rating, based on 5 judges-(including me)of 1-5 stars
and a short critique for the piece.
the judges will decide on the winner by discussion after reading
this is a great way to get a little feedback from good sources on your writing-even if you don't win.
also-there will be no extensions-if the names chosen don't have their entry in by closing time-it's too late and we will judge without their entry.
good opportunity people, get your name in
