    Oh My Gosh!!!! You have so many great options here. This will surely attract many poets to this contest and I will have to try to dabble in some words myself to come up with an entry!

    Sorry I missed your contest and thanks for the invite! I am barely on due to a home renovation in progress. I didn't even see your contest until after it was judged. I just read the first-place winner. Her sonnet is awesome and would have been my choice, too. Hugs, Belle
