I want you to take something. It could be an object, a person, an event, a season, a song, anything. I want you to write about it like you've never written before. Make me feel what you feel or see what you see. Bring it to life like never before.
If I feel like you didn't put enough effort into your write I'll have no problem removing it without warning.
I'm allowing prewrites but only if they meet the criteria.
In your authors notes tell me what the poem is about and why you wrote it.
Gold - 1000
Silver - 900
Bronze - 800
No honorable mentions kids, sorry.
Good luck!

The Selchies Song past lives
this was a persistent dream, it was repetitive over a period of weeks, I could see all the details, the sled , the man on the horse, the wolf skins, the ocean , it was not until I wrote the poem, that the dream stopped, ThenI met the man on the horse, go figure -
