The poems are to be inspired by the word you choose.
Whatever they make you think, feel or remember...go with it!
Remember that each word can only be used once.
That way no 2 people have the same word.
If you need help finding seven letter words starting with "A"
visit this link
http://www.math.toronto.edu/jjchew/scrabble/lists/common-7.html
If you have a prewritten poem that fits the contest feel free to enter
but I'm not sure how many would.
All entries will be commented on prior to the final judging.
You MAY reserve your word by entering a page with only the word
you have chosen as the title so no one else takes it.
But PLEASE do come finish the poem before the contest closes.
Good luck to all!

My apologies, I had to reopen this as the poems I dragged I forgot to hit the submit button and were in the wrong order. It is correct now. I'm very sorry.
