willow

Simple:

go to http://js119.spaces.live.com/photos/cns!837A0699F1AC5B70!149/

write an appropriate poem on either picture (I like the willow best)

reasonably short, under 40 lines

nothing my kid shouldn't read

you can revisit for editing until the spaces are filled, or until two days before judging (whatever comes first)



enjoy
