Huguenauties Contest #31 for MEMBERS OF HUGH WYLES FAVORITES GROUP ONLY” All others shall forced to drink diet Moxie!
Fantasize with Yem and Ima for a moment:
Kevin won the lottery so he doesn't have time for us little folk, so he's closing down AllPoetry. Being the benevolent young fella he is, he's decided to let us keep one poem in our portfolio....which will remain online...for many, many years.
What will that poem be? A goodbye/thank you poem? An epitaph? an apology? an autobiographical memoir? or maybe just an example of your best work? What you leave for posterity is up to you. (If you choose an example of your best work you can just re-post one you've previously written, but I won't allow pre-writes, I want to encourage fresh poems.)
LEGALESE:
1. No black backgrounds, please.
2.Rhyme is preferred by most members in the group though I personally like reading all types equally. But I can't vote anyway so...
3. One entry per Author. Pre-writes are not welcome!
4. This Contest is now open until 22nd of month when it will close for voting.
5. All entrants must vote for their pick of first, second or third place, stating names of authors, within 48 hours of closing, ie. By 24th. month.. Please send your vote by IM to huguenauties only. Entrants may not vote for their own entry.
6. Officials may enter but cannot win or vote. Their entries will include "NON-ENTRY" in the title and are not included in the voting.
7. This contest is NOT anonymous. Please sign your name at the end of each entry.

Good, thought-provoking contest, Yem!
I'm going to have to give this one a lot of thought. Do I want to be remembered as a spiritual person who wrote funny poems or as a funny person who wrote spiritual poems? Tough choice!
At least I have some time to make my decision.
I'll be back! (spoken like the governor of Cal-e-fornia)

I'm going away for the weekend so I will concentrate on writing an entry when I get back.

Sorry I Missed The Deadline
Want to apologize to the group and say I'm sorry I missed the deadline. Was in a car accident and just got home. Evreything fine, no broken bones, no broken car (I have some Higher Power), just a bruised ego. Will make up for what you lost.

Congratulations to all the winners!
Thank you to everyone who voted for me! Now all I have to do is come up with a great idea for the next contest (which can be harder than writing the poem).
