Alright folks,
here we go again. This is my second reverse word bank and I have learned from my mistakes.
FAIR WARNING: If you enter and one of these words is used in your poem, your entry will be removed.
Most of you know what a word bank is, good. This, however, is a reverse word bank. Meaning, I am going to put up a list of words that you ARE NOT allowed to use in your poem and or title.
Theme and direction of your poem is completely up to you. Please take my advice and write something with a little bit of thought behind it.
Your poem must be at least 20 lines and must not contain ANY of the word bank words. Any entry that does contain a word from the word bank will be deleted immediately from the contest. Winners will be judged on how well they put together a meaningful piece without having to use the word bank words.
Good luck to all and please enter only original works written for this contest.

Just wondering? But would it be possible for someone to use a contraction since it is two separate words connected as one they're not necessarily one actual word. For example, "We haven't done anything wrong." You could still separate the have and the not from the contraction and use them as separate words. I was just wondering. ^^"""

Contractions are OK to be used.

Ooooh. This is definately an interesting idea for a conest. I doubt that I'll be able to write anything for it, however.. seeing as how you listed just about every words I adore to use.
However, I may try my hand at it, just for a few laughs.
Best of luck in judging.
