Hmm...Seems like a great contest but without rhymes? That would be what kills me. Best of luck for the entreys though...

Well for most of the people I have read who write in rhymes they can come out with very nice poetry in free verses may be you could give it a try, you may discover something about yourself.

What a positive way to handle that. I could learn a thing or two from you.
Is that your cat? I love cats- I have 6 of them
. My husband and kids, we are all crazy about them. I had a black cat named Hobo when I was a kid. Got every color except black now.
