Pick a word - Write a poem in 10 LINES or Less (I)




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 "I"

I've provided a list at the bottom of the contest since the link I had here is no longer working.

 

 

 

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!

    The link wasn't working for me for some reason. But I found a site where you can go by length and by letter.

    http://wordnavigator.com/by-length/

    Hope this is somehow useful.

      Thanks for letting me know. Indeed the link is no longer working. Yours works well. Thanks for gethering it for us. I've found a cache of the old link and posted them right to the contest as well. Thanks so muchfor letting me know. That would certainly have put a damper on the future contest too. I will be doing all letters

    Oh, and I just had a thought. This series of contest should be pretty interesting when you reach "r", because "reserve" is a seven letter word. . .
    Excuse my randomness, it's either too early or too late.
