Hello. 20 poets have to write a piece according to the below guidlines.

Reserve a spot, then I will give you ten random letters. You will then write a ten line poem using the letters I gave you (in the order given) as the first letter in each line. Good Luck.

Hints on what I do and do not like to better your chances of winning:


1. I do love very original and creative takes on ordinary ideas
2. I don't like an incoherent jumble of massive, dictionary words. Make it interesting, not hard to read.
3. I like normal typing please.
4. I love both rhyme and free verse, i like rhyme and usually write that way.
5. please label adult content correctly

depending on my entry numbers points and trophies should increase!!

have fun

Write on !!

**NEW NOTE:
You will have some time after the contest closes to finish your entries, i will probley give you at least half a day or something. I will send a note out with some time b4 I judge.

~Amy
