~Base your poem on this picture~
1. One entry per person.
2. No prewrites.
3. Watch your spelling and grammar.
4. No cutting or suicide or religious/spiritual poems, please.
5. The style of the poem isn't as important as the creativity.
6. Please do not use the image, or any image, in your entry.
I don't place poems in the 'finalist list' until I judge.

Whoah cool pic! I haven't been inspired to write much lately, maybe if I get back to this before it closes I might try to enter.

And a big thank you for those that entered and followed the rules. I decided not to mention any rules broken in the comments... really, it's up to the entrant to read them. (this does not include the one who IMed me about their 'mistake'
)
