For My Homies #8

You saw the title-

Now here are my favorites:

http://allpoetry.com/favorite/show/Tangled+Angle



What I want-


Either
A- Free verse
or
B- Rhyme



How this will work: [includes rules + instructions]

1) Reserve a spot - YOU MUST put your username in your notes. Otherwise, you'll be DQed.
2) I will IM you, and I will give you a list of three poets- these poets are all on my favorites list. Read one poem from each of those poets- comments aren't required- but is a friendly gesture.
3)Post the three links to the poems you read in your notes. Then choose at least one of those three, and make a note to me saying which poem(s) you used as your inspiration.
4) Use the inspiration to write your poem. Min: 10 lines, Max: 100 [if you go over by a little bit, don't worry].

-Don't be confused about the instructions.. Take it one step at a time. lol



This will close next week.

    I just wrote one in the last 24 hours... but I posted it on my page... though I didn't enter it in a contest. Is it considered a prewrite? Or may I enter it?
