For this contest, write a biographical poem about someone you admire. (A living person or someone from history.) A lesser known person would be especially interesting to me.
You can also write about someone who is not real, a character you create.
Third option is humor. Write a biographical poem about a cartoon character, a character from a TV commercial e.g. the bears on the toilet paper commercial
...Have fun. I'm really looking forward to reading your poems
