Smurfs Abound!
Poetry Contest
Smurfs left the cartoon world and they are amassing and scattering and proliferating and and they're just all over! Whether we live in peace or war with them, or what happens from there...roll up your sleeves and dip your quill and bust it out.
Could be a story about what they do or about how you're sick of 'em and you bail into the cartoon world and you chill in the village and you could discuss your zany life from there with the wigworms or whatever aberration your altogether likely imbalanced mind will regurgitate under such conditions, maniac!
(You may want to include Gargamel and Azreal; his cat, just a suggestion, not a rule.)
Or go all deep and turn it into an anthropological study, discuss how our cultures might clash or any of that and then some...whatever you wish and are inclined to produce, produce it...just deal with the hoard of blue things, or have them deal with you...and in quarry-slave fashion, accept without exception or nuclear retaliation, (in fact none of that internal-whining stuff you think I won't catch either, already caught it, so quit;) the following rule in its entirety - HAVE FUN!
Oh, and these seven ;)
Rule One - Consider all that stuff I just wrote above rule one.
Dictum Two - For at least part of the poem, if not all or most, your call there, but for part of it, be the same size as them.
Mandate Three - For at least part of the poem, if not all or most, your call there too, but for part of it, have at least one, more is cool, but at least one smurf be the size of an average adult human.
Order Four - You must use one of the following phrases, (this implies that if you use more you are a rockstar, but that for each one you add extra you'll be asked to stomp on your own foot one time, and pretty hard too, honor system. Don't peel off a digit; settle down, just hard) -
1 - 'French Fries and scapulas...'
2 - 'August ate the only...'
3 - 'How am I supposed to work this unrelated phrase in? I mean, look at it! Is it even a phrase at all?!'
4 - 'Papa Smurf said, ... '
Command Five - Don't pick option four from the choices for phrases to choose from in Order Four
Rule 5 + 1 - Either end malnutrition globally before you post the poem, or before you post, you must go to your wall and find whatever spot looks good and either spit on it or lick it, or if you're really feeling relaxed...do both.
Rule 7 - Write with all the awareness that the primary rule is to have fun...all other rules are null and void when the justification for breaking them was because it felt fun to as you wrote.
The contest winner will win half of the prize pool which is based on the number of entries. The second and third place winners will each share the remaining prize pool. The prize pool is currently 14.00 member dollars. There are 11 spots still open. If all open spots are used the prize pool will be 36.00 member dollars. In this contest at least 2 submissions must be made for the vote to begin.
