Contest #161: ideas by penman, contest 3

My wonderful and thoughtful AP brother, penman came up with these prompts for a contest. If you have time, please stop by and say hi to him.

You may enter one time for each prompt

The only rule for this contest is that you MUST have fun.

Thank you and I look forward to reading your work, Cathy.

Here are your prompts:


1. Write a poem to help an elm tree get over its unrequited love for a rose.

2. Write a poem about an orange having apple envy issues.

3. Write a poem about a Pegasus that has a fear of heights.


Feel free to reserve but please have your entry finished by closing.



Please note: I have started a new column with a list of words that lots of people including me are always having trouble using correctly. The link is below and if you have any to add to it, please feel free to do so. Thanks

      I'm afraid he really does have issues and perhaps you can let us know what he will do about them.
