Just goes to show how out of touch I am...I have no clue what Dirty Pretty is as I have seen that many times not for contests and now I am more clueless about purple prose and pedestrian rhyme. This is why I will never be a true poet for I don't know anything about these things(lol). Good luck to all.

Purple prose is prose that is so overly extravagant, ornate or flowery as to break the flow and draw attention to itself, or as I like to put it, prose that looks like it was vomited up by a thesaurus.
Pedestrian rhyme is rhyme that sounds like a nursery rhyme, is unmetered or unoriginal.

You can enter rhyme, Susan, as long as it does not sound like a nusery rhyme. You never have a problem with that.

Wow... thank you so much for the gold, Danna... this poem is very special to me - my son just walked in here and he's smiling too (and these wise words from his 16 year old boy mouth "mom, you and your poetry")!!
Congrats to the other winners - thanks again and best wishes.
