Twenty words. Any subject. Any style. The key is twenty words. Twenty words to stun.
Should you use a specific poetic style please note it in comments. (Styles do not allow you to go beyond twenty words.) No other comments allowed. You are not allowed to extend your poem by explanation.
A two, or less, word title, please. Title should be pertinent to but not mandatory to understanding poem.
Folks, twenty is the maximum. Please, stun me with less.
Honorable mentions 100 points. I will name two if there are at least twenty entries.
No matter how anonymous you wish to be it is not good enough. I know who you are but it if helps you can believe I don't. Ap security is almost nonexistent. R
