I want to read your very BEST poems that tell a story. You can rhyme or not, but this shouldn't be a narrative...it should be a poem. I have a few that fall into that category that you may read if you want an example. "Imminent Angel," "Reborn," and "My Advocate."
Surprise endings are great.
I like stories that teach a lesson.
I want to have an emotional response.
Rules:
1. Enter only once
2. Only submit poems that qualify
3. No erotica, religion bashing, etc....
4. Swearing rarely helps...
Let's have fun, and read some other entries!!!(that's what nice poets d
