A new spin on an old contest





Ok - so we all need a smile, no?  

Choose someone from my favorite list:

http://allpoetry.com/favorite/show/Suzanne+Dia

Write them a poem, they are on my list for a reason, I would like to see them honored.  Thanks.


 

Da Rools:

 

 

 

  • If you must rhyme, do it well.
  • No line limit, but understand if you write something long, it must be done well.  Make it interesting.
  • Use poetic device
  • Be creative
  • One poem per person on my list.  You are welcome to reserve a spot - this is important; please include the name of the person you are writing about in your title ..in some way, shape or form, the more creative the better.

So far the poets taken are:

 

Lucy

Cannonsfire

The Bear

ArdentMarch 

Cisco Kid

Cat

 

have fun & keep entering!

    WOW.

    Thanks so much...it was very good to let it rip the way Cisco does. Course he's still IT for funked up erotica but I'm so honored that you liked it enough to give it the Gold.

    I'll pay it forward somehow...
