You heard me. This is all nonsense...well...the contest is at least. I want you to write about nonsense. Make up words, makes up animals, make up places and people and ideas. I just want to see you reach into the drungy depths of your imagination and pull out the most magnificent togger of a poem!
For examples look to the Jabberwocky: homepages.math.luc.edu/~vande/jabtext.html
Or even my own poem Notre Dame d'Ambiance:

Rules:
1. No sticky caps or abbreviations.
2. Cussing should be unnecessary.
3. Comment on one other participant's poem and put who in your author's comments.
4. All walks of life should be accepted and none diminished based on their ideals (read as: don't diss others in your poem or in your comments).
5. Let it all hang out. (Yes, even those saggaliscious eighty year old breasts.)
6. If you haven't noticed by now, I <3 humor.
7. Prewrites are allowed, but I'm limiting this contest to two poems apiece. (One prewrite, one new; two prewrites; two new)
Three places will be picked and depending on how many people enter, 2-7 honorable mentions.

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on November 28, 2005
- Rewards: Gold: 400
- Final notes: My god. What wonderful little diddles, my sweet children, you happened to poem upon!
(Terribly sorry this is so late in judging. My internet was down for a few days, then Thanksgiving *twitch* and then cleanup. Glee...family.)
I had quite a time discerning which was which from the best to the best. Every poem widdles out its own little niche, I'm happy to say, in my inunwhelmed heart!
Which is to say that I also recommend you read these poems as well:
A tribute to Wergle Flomp by Edna Sweetlove
Hey Diddle Diddle...by Rowan
