December 2012

You've missed them, you know you have! With the End of The World upon us (thank you Mayan calendar!) I've chosen this name instead of bringing back my old Bad To The Bone. It's also an homage to an old funny site.

Bad Poetry isn't just tripe spilled on a page or screen, in other words, bluntly put, crap isn't bad poetry it is just crap. The goal here is to write sublimely bad poetry, following a prompt that can be an image or text, sometimes with a sample or not. In addition to the prompt will be a poetry form which specifies the exact poetry form your entry must follow.

What is a SLAM?

A SLAM! is fast-paced poetry contest done either online or in real life. A bad poetry SLAM! is both fast paced and mind-numbing! If your brain turns to jelly and your eyes fall out then my work here is done!

The first prompt will get posted and you will have 24 hours to post your poem. This prompt will get posted on December 10th at Noon EST/-5 GMT! Each round thereafter will specifically state the time limit on that round. The Judge will post a ROUND CLOSED entry, and another judge will post the next prompt Judges decisions are final for their round.

What are the rules?

Read the prompt carefully: make sure you understand the poetry form required. Your entry in each round must follow the poetry form and be cogent to the prompt.
