I often think about men, and where all of the good ones have gone. If you are familiar with the song, "Where Have All The Flowers Gone", then you can see where I got the name for this contest. I've been walking around the house singing this song for a few days now. I know, I know.......
I just might re-write the lyrics someday.
I would like you to write me a poem, using the title of this contest as your prompt.
Rules:
1. Please try to stay anonymous so I can judge fairly.
2. One entry per person
3. Legible typing and spelling
Good luck to you all.
