suggestions
I don't believe I have awarded a rhyming poem with a trophy in years now. I'm sure that isn't going to change with this contest. If you must rhyme then I can not stop you. Let's pray you are good enough not to make me go lay out naked in a blizzard.
If you do not include the 4 specifics above you had better be good enough for me not to notice.
Spell check.
Oh-- and have fun.
If you decide to complain to me about hindering poets with specifics... please do so. I enjoy laughing.

Why, I tell you your rules are ridiculous....

I thought about holding a horribly stringent contest with a crazy amount of rules, regulations and such... but figured most people would just wuss out on me.
Poets are such lazy creatures.

i'm only capable of writing poems between 15 and 30 words...along with the three specifics...
<----- also lazy -
you know.. back when I was young and stupid.. I dared someone to play in the snow naked.. hahahaha..
sings like Edith.. those were the dayssssss.

Did they do it?
I was once dared to dance naked under the moon. It was a bit nipply that night... teeheehee.
I don't think I'll play in the snow naked, though.

Meli you are asking for some god-awful rosey apples and xmas angels with this one
I will try pull my act together and actually write something for this
Hope you're all good.. xxxx -

LOL Perhaps. Even with my more militant "This is exactly what I don't want" contests people enter god-awful crap that my cat would be embarrassed to write...
My hope is that decent writers will understand and not ride mystical creatures beneath the gentle snowfall.
Hope you can make it back. Meli misses you...
