Your Story

Now normally I would only allow free verse. However, if your rhyme is not kindergarten rhyme; and you pay attention to flow, meter, etc. you are more than welcome to rhyme here.

Make sure your entry is at least 15 lines long.
Make sure it is NOT centered, but left aligned.
Make sure it is not humor, erotica, death, etc.
Make sure it does NOT bash religion or other poets.
Make sure it has a plain background and NO pics.



Other than that you have free will to write what you wish. Follow the rules.


NOTE:

If your piece gets removed it is because either you did not follow the rules, or you don't stand a chance at placing this go round. If that happens, you are free to keep entering. Best wishes.






Pic is me, hubby and kids.

    Is it just me, or do you have twins?

    Gotta be the happiest four siblings I've seen in a while; my sister and I usually growl at each other instead of smiling.
