Scuttle

by Hugh MacLeod at Gapingvoid.com


My new word in Ed DeCaria's Madness! 2012 Poetry Writing Craziness Tournament (subtitled with the best and truest subtitle ever: "Kids' Poetry. Under Pressure.")

is

SCUTTLE.

And who am I "versing"?

(In kid lingo, "versing" means "competing against," but isn't it the perfect word to mean "competing against in a poetry tournament"???)

I am versing Julie Larios.

So, yes. I am dreaming big.
And I am working hard.

I think I'm pretty close to a final draft that I like and can be proud of.

    Oh, you see, Mary Lee - now the voting has started and you are beating the pants off me! I would have to find strangers on the street and beg them to vote for me. Nicely done!

    Another great poem, Mary Lee.

    Thanks for participating, and good luck against Mr. Pincus in the Regional FINALS!
