A Game of Genres 2018: Week 2 by doughboycafe, journal
A Game of Genres 2018: Week 2
Welcome to week 2! We got a TON of entries for week 1, so we need a little time to score them. On that note, about judging: each piece receives a score based on 10 pts in 3 categories of our judges' choosing, then that score is averaged for the piece. The pieces with the top three scores win.
However your scores for the grand prize are aggregate which means we are going to average all the averages you got over the course of the contest. That means if you don't do well one week but you crush it the next two, you're definitely in the running for the grand prize.
Also if you have above average scores but never manage to place in a weekly event

Interview with Tiganusi about poetry
isthisthingstillon (https://www.deviantart.com/isthisthingstillon) happens to be interested in poetry, and he even writes poems sometimes.
How would you define your style ?
This is a hard question. Profane? I try to keep my work more conversational than not, I hate adverbs, I tend to swear a lot and discuss sex more often than anything else. Most of my work deals with things I observe in day-to-day life. A lot of it is confessional, but it's usually confessing through metaphor versus that Plath-like "Woe is me/for my period came" type blunt confessional mode.
Has your idea of what poetry is changed since you began writing poems?
I'm not sure I can remember a time before writing poems was a thin

A Surreal Peek at DA LIT-dom - July 2016
Surrealism in DA LIT-dom
“I think, therefore I am' is the statement of an intellectual who underrates toothaches.”
― Milan Kundera, Immortality
I've been traveling extensively. The moon beside the Jupiter was particularly good. As were some of the Clown's in there. They sat in one of its unending field and played passing the pillow. The name of their pillow was Earth. And never used it for sleeping, they said, because the night never came. Because it always was. But it was good thing. For I decided to return here through their pillow, although a little late.
