The challenge is to write a poem with the following one word prompt. Any form or style but be careful with free verse, I hate chopped up prose with poor punctuation. I like that “Ah” factor, poetic device and a poem that shows that a bit of thought went into it.
Prompt:
Rules:
1. Label accordingly
2. No excessive profanity
3. No Sticky caps or chat speak
4. Plain backgrounds, boarders are permitted
5. No pornography, erotica penned with class is Ok
6 Reservations accepted but if you don’t return to
finish it the poetry police will be notified.
