8-bit poetry?

What was the last time you wrote a poem? And did she – or he, for that matter – like it? Have no fear, the Forever audience is always grateful for a good laugh (whether intended, or not) or an interesting thought. The first crazy compo we announce for this year’s Forever is 8-bit poetry compo.

The Rules

• Minimum length: 2 lines (= 1 rhyme)
• Maximum length: $40 (ok, that’s 64 decimally) lines
• Must be written in English
• Should concern 8-bit computers and/or Forever and/or people around it … you get the idea, right?
• You’re more than welcome to perform the poem yourself, however if you can’t make it to the party or don’t feel like speaking into the microphone, send it in via e-mail or hand a legible (!) copy to Wotnau at the party.

The Line of Death

• e-mail deadline is Thursday 18 March, 22:00
• For visitors, the deadline is the party Saturday (20 March) at high noon

… and that’s it. Ah, one more thing – don’t forget that if you just accidentally take this year’s party theme into account, you’re in contention for the Eternity award!

And now sharpen your binary quills and JMP into it!
