READ EVERYTHING
You should be able to read my rules, if I'm going to read your poem
I want amazing poetry
NO more than 50 words
Your prompt is Winter
It's my favorite season and I'm happy that the weather is finally getting cooler
Imagery is a MUST
Don't tell me. Make me SEE, make me FEEL.
Add beauty, pain, emotion, something. Make it more than dead words on a screen.
NO cliche. Be original. Be unique.
It's NOT a picture prompt but if you're inspired, write. Just make sure it fits with the prompt because the picture might change.
I prefer free verse. If you're going to write a rhyming poem, it better be stunning, mmkay?
I'll add more points and trophies if I see some wonderful entries.
You can reserve a spot if you'd like but please make sure you come back to it.
Put your AP name in your notes. For those of you that don't know what that is, it's your All Poetry name.
Don't disappoint me
