It says "ramblings" and that's what I want. Let your mind meander and write me a really good poem that rhymes.
Pre-writes are allowed but they cannot have already won in any other contests!
This ends when it ends so the sooner the better!
Here are some things I like...
first, really good rhyme.
the words: shadows, lavender, dreams, twilight, mist ...oh
and lurking; I like that a lot:)
I don't really care for dark macabre poetry
but if it's good; great, I'll consider it.
If you want to know what I really like
check out my favorites list and read some of theirs.

thanks for this contest - all my work is rhyming, and not many people do that around here. Sleepless nights is a Ramble that i wrote, just as the title suggests - when i couldn't sleep.

I entered my poem, it has an honorable mention, I wasn't sure if that counted as winning, if it does just delete it, I don't mind.
