Oh yea I like this one
-
lovely idea for a contest.. I am looking forward to the entries
-
Beautiful thoughts for a contest!
-
This sounds like a great contest - I am sure we will have some lovely entries with this one.
-
Shouldn't there be a rule as to the length of the poem? Just curious.
This is really awesome! It almost makes me wish I was a new member... or just create a new account just to enter.
Awesome idea! Good luck to everyone who enters 
--Tim -
cool
Christmas time and the contest just sets the stage.. Liked the red and white border too Apt..
-
Nice one. Of course, today I am partial to let it snow let it snow let it snow. We are hoping for snow in West Texas tonight, so I will be singing it in my sleep.
Looking forward to seeing the entries
-
Yay!
Holidays! I hope there are a lot of ones about snow, I miss it. It's still in the 70s here. ;_; -
Tres Cool!
Excellent idea for a contest! Good one wonder! -
I joined on Nov 29th - can I enter?

Hello steamboatbilly. Unfortunately no, you cannot enter if you joined on the 29th. This contest is only open to members that join in December, or on the 30th of November. The reason we allow members that joined on the 30th, is because it gives them a fair chance to come up with something if they can’t do it in less than 24 hours. But we feel that members that joined on the 29th, or roughly 48 hours before the contests closes, have enough time to come up with something. You still have enough time to post something for the November contest.

A very good idea! For the sake of some titles being repeated, I wonder if we should suggest
them to put a 'number' after the title for differentiation if they see that someone else has posted the same?
Just an idea in the event there is. Love all of ya's!!!!! -
Would I be allowed to enter a poem with the song title Do You Hear What I Hear? That's a christmas song, but it's not on the list. Either that or I'm blind...
-
The suspense is killing me! lol.

Very sorry! The holiday season is to blame for the oversight. The date has been corrected. Please do enter your submission for judging.
