Prompt: A Sensory Experience

After a successful first Queer Vocal Voices challenge, we wanted to follow it up with a new challenge. I am excited to see the entries for this challenge!

We have all had profound queer experiences in our lives. For this challenge, we want you to write a poem about such an event. Here is the catch-we want you to write it through your senses. What did you feel? What did you hear? What did you smell? Take us to that moment through your sensory experience.

Some ideas to write about: Love, Justice, PRIDE, coming out, identity, and yes, even intimate experiences if you choose.

This challenge is for the PRIDE community only. Publish your pieces in PRIDE and share the link to your piece in the comments section of this article.

Voting will be anonymous, and three winners will be selected. First place receives $8, and your profile will be featured in the group. Second place will receive $5, and your profile will be featured in the group. Third place will receive $2, and your profile will be featured in our group.

The deadline is midnight on Saturday March 23rd. Voting will occur in the group anonymously, and the winners will be announced March 30th.

We hope you join us in this challenge.
