F – Meow Meow Pow Pow Seeking Submissions on the Theme of: Dirt
Buried below or whispers behind cupped hands. What is the dirt? Whether it is smudging up clothing or ruining reputations, dirt is dusted and everywhere. When we’re respectful we call her Earth: the animistic deity and the force of creation. Reaching up out of the dirt, what is born from beneath? Send us your take on dirt.
This is a special FLASH PROSE ONLY theme (sorry for the caps). Poets try your paws at some flash prose and prose writers send us your dirty dogs of flash. Two pieces of flash only and the length should be between 150 to 300.
We love surprising interpretations of our themes; we’re less keen on literal interpretations. That being said, if we receive a piece that isn’t – in some way – reflective of the theme we’ll gnash our teeth and shake our fists at the heavens, and then send you a wimpy rejection letter. Don’t make us do that – we hate that. If you are rejected, please wait until the next theme to submit.
