A few word banks..

This is my first contest, so okay (deep breath), here goes...I'm a fan of writing poems from word banks so I thought I would gave a couple of those.

A few things:

Usual rules apply.

Use at least 6 words in chosen bank.

May use different tenses of same word.

Limit poem to 15 lines.

Put option number in AN.

Use your imaginative and have fun!

 

**I am going to allow pre-writes in the last 24 hours to try to get a few more entries, but PLEASE if you do this make sure it applies to the contest and follows the rules.  Also, I will allow 2 poems per person, only you must choose different word banks.**
