MAY CONTEST (poetic selfie)

Alright, everybody likes to talk about themselves so this should be easy lol. We're gonna write a poetic selfie about ourselves capturing a specific aspect or happening about ourselves. Hit the "Contest" tag to get specifics and sharpen those quills.....stan PS Please Do Not forget the brevity requirement for this contest. There is plenty of time left to edit and anything over 20 lines will be DQed.

for informing me of new contests and contest results. It saves time and gives access to the rest of a poet's work. Trust me on this, it would not just make life easier for me but be much appreciated by contest winners.

a type of silence
is spreading

a slice of the earth
falls away

some laugh, some get fat
others over the edge venture

a type of silence
falls away, Tiangu, I defy you!

a slice of the earth
is spreading

falls away, others over the edge
the dupes write missives of apology

some rat, some sell hooks
basic precepts, basic precepts

mit einem langweiligen Buch
kann er nichts anfangen

il porte un costume sans tête
La esencia del absurdo conquista la mesa de Autoridad!

I no longer care who wins the next election: I cannot vote
winds of disaster take over the province; we fall off the stage!
