~Bear
~Ant
~Monkey
~Moose

I want you to write about what one of these animals mean to you personally, spitually, ect. What kind of images do they evoke? Does it mean anything to you? Do you like it? I want to know everything of what the animal makes you think or feel.

The only rules are...

    Hey! Sounds like a great contest sis! I want to enter, but first, have a few questions:
    You want to know what all the animals mean to us?
    What do you mean by 'no endless truckermouthness'?
    Do we have to use all the animals?
    Thanks!
    Cj

    This is an awesome idea. I love it. I really hope that I can get over my poetry writing block that I have had lately.

    I liked the concept of the contest as well. So it is ok if picked the same animal as someone else, right? I took it in a different direction. Hope that is ok?
