So many seem to not like rhyme, I do. I know there are alot of great rhymes out there so make it brilliant.
The picture reminds me of things forgotten but were must haves for all the kids at the time. High ho silver away or something like that.
Write on something like that or any subject you like, but must be suitable for all ages.
It can be humorous or sad but which ever you choose I better laugh or cry or just say wow.
usual rules apply, you know them.
my rule: under thirty lines
Prewrites are allowed if they are brilliant, though I prefer a fresh write.
Comment on other's poems but be nice.
my gramma always said "if you can't say anything nice don't say anything at all."
I will comment on all entries but I must tell you that my comments are usually short, but nice. Sometimes I just read them first and come back later to comment.

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on January 4
- Rewards: Gold: 400, Silver: 200, Bronze: 100, Honorable mention: 5 people
- Final notes: With sixty six entries I closed the contest early.
Thank you all for your entries, I laughed and I cried, they were a joy to read.
I could only pick eight winners for trophies, out of the twenty one I had listed for gold, so please understand how hard this was. I based my decision on topic, form and what moved me the most, (Toy Soilders made me bawl).
Thank you again for all of your entries and making this contest a pleasurable success. I hope you will enter my next rhyme contest. Sorry I cannot give all of you a trophy, though I feel all were deserving. Keep the pen flowing, thank you.
