***CONTEST*** Jack Kerouac Scavenger Hunt!!!
Forums
It is time for the Jack Kerouac Scavenger Hunt Contest! The contest starts today and runs until 9:00 P.M. Eastern Time (U.S.) October 21, 2007. The way the contest works is I will announce the first part below. Complete the first part, post it, AND private message me your post, and I will private message you the instructions for part two. You will then complete that part in the same manner, and we move on to step three, and so on. There are five parts in all, and each one gets a touch more challenging. There is no speed limit you have to go, but the entire contest must be completed by the deadline. The contest will be judged on quality of work, adherence to the style requested in the instructions, and how it fits with the "spirit" of the contest. The winner will receive a copy of "Pomes all Sizes" by Jack Kerouac! Good luck!
Step One:
Write a poem based on your impression of the Kerouac Novel: Visions of Gerard in American Haiku form. (American Haiku as defined by Kerouac)
