Welcoming Dalaney Home

We all missed our dearest, Dalaney, so I figured I would do a welcome home contest for her.

This doesn't have to be a poem about her, just a poem you know she'd like.

It must have style, and consist in modern form.

Please do us all a favor and spell check.

Please put 'Welcome home, Dalaney." in your author box.

Have fun and be creative.

P.S.
We both love off the wall poetry.

ENJOY!

Contest is Over

  • Final notes:
    All of your entries are magnificent. It was quite hard to judge. We are all thanking the heavens that Dalaney is back. Thank you for participating. Sorry it took me so very long to judge this. I've been under a lot of pressure lately. You are all wonderful poets. Dalaney should be glad to have you all in her circle.

    Pity that pre-writes aren't allowed, because I have been writing poems for my kissin' cousin and posting them...

    It is great to have her back. SO many people missed her.
