Lots of points so I am going to be very strict with this one.

Be inspired by the picture above (Bow of the Idem
Michael Kahn) it is hauntingly beautiful and speaks to me of many thoughts and sensuality comes into that too. I want a write that you have to think over, ponder over, so if I see any entries today I will remove them!!!!!
I want you poets to actually let this settle, write it on paper, fiddle with it, erase it, rewrite it again and again until you think it is so hauntingly lovely I won't be able to stop reading it.
Let it wash over you, take you away and give me something stunning. I don't care how long it is but I do care how SHORT it is, in asking you to do this I am asking you to give me a story, snapshot, a moment defined and in doing so you cannot do it in short words. I want you to put me into the piece so I can see all that it is and how it is.
RULES
FREE VERSE
NO MAXIMUM LINES BUT....LONGER THAN 30!!!
If I don't think you have it finished I will ask you if there is more, do not let time constraints keep you from the task at hand. I will extend if you ask me too.
Sensual is wonderful, imagery and metaphor
NO CURSING,
NO DIRTY PRETTY
NO StiCKy CaPS
DEFINATELY NO RHYME -will DQ
Okay now sit back and let the picture tell you the title and give you its words.
I will see you over the next few days BUT NOT TODAY OK????
UPDATE Sorry I forgot
, please reserve your spot when you have a title...so I know you are serious in submitting, I will allow you to do that today if it comes to you in a clear picture.
