I like a challenge

The other day a poetry group I have been lucky enough to have been shortlisted and published by called Dark Poets Club (link at the bottom) set a new competition out. Called “ Small space, deep impact challenge”

Basically you have 50 words or less, to wow the judges with your best scribble (poem), while leaving a powerful, lasting impression on the reader.

I think this going to be my most challenging project yet. In fact, I’m not sure I can even manage it, as it’s not a lot of words. The up side is that, as I’m allowed to use my “dark passenger” style of writing, that I’ll be free to get dark, and certainly not have to play nicely. it might work out. It’s certainly going to be fun trying, plus I’ve nothing to lose.

Stay Safe x
