Surreal; Dada; Nonsense; Abstract; Opposing and Contradictory Poetry: Be Brave!
Prose has always appeared unresponsive and close-minded about Abstract and Surrealism when it comes to Poetry and Prose and even story lines. Take a chance and dip your toe in a world that doesn't make sense. Think the automatic cut-up writing of William S. Burroughs or the nonsensical natural whimsy of Captain Beefheart if you need inspiration. The most bizarre wins more then anything money could buy. They'll have won versatility and a key to the 'promise land'.

Challenge of the Week CCXXXIII
Write a short poem about waking up in drunken regret. On this one, winner is decided by likes. Make it brutal. 25 big ones on the line. Go.
As I...
As I lay here,
In the pile of piss that is,
Slowly seeping down into the mattress,
As the delerium of last night,
Fades away in ripping burns,
Through my skull,
As I glare at the calcified mound of mystery meat and bread,
That is seemingly my only companion,
And as I sweat tentacles in the ever thickening air,
One thing comes to mind...
This isn't my house.
