OK this is how it goes:
Fill up this charm bracelet by first making a list of five possible charms that you would add. Title your list only as "My Charm".
Each contestant must then go around to each other's lists to find the charm of their choice and claim it. When you find the charm you want, state that you are claiming it in the person's comments and then re-title your poem with the name of your charm.
Each type of charm can only be claimed ONCE. In other words, there should only be one poem called "Horseshoe" when we get done. So try to make your lists different.
After 12 charms are claimed, I will let you know it is time to write your poem. Please transfer your list to your author's notes and write your poem within three days of closing.
Here are two contest examples that I have particiapted in:

This is simply FUN! Enjoy!
Additional trophies and/or points may be added at the contest close.
