I want your personal best. I don't care if it has a gazillion comments and 100 trophies, I just want poems that make me feel. Sad, longing, inspired, happy, rhyme, free verse, anything, as long as it's amazing. I am allowing prewrites, but please, nothing I have already commented on. Nice points on the line, so make it worth while. Good luck.
btw, the picture was just one of my son that makes me happy! In no way do you have to be inspired by it, lol...but how could you not be?
Update- have more than enough pw, only fresh pieces now. Thanks

Why does it say prewrites are not allowed? You just said they are!!!!

prewrites were allowed for the first 73 entrants, but since I plan on reading and commenting on each one, I had to close the option so that I can actually tackle the feat. Hence, the update at the bottom of the page.
