choose one of the following.  (Please put your choice in your Author's Notes):

drizzle

downpour

sun-shower

sleet

blizzard

fog

mist

sunshine

windchill

wind


use the prompt to tell a story using poetic device such as imagery, metaphor etc...

do not write about the element itself.  I don't want poems about, example fog, or a foggy day. Take it deeper than that.

free verse or prose only please

length is up to you, however if it's an epic, make it good.

I encourage you to edit your entry up until the contest closes.

I will not comment on anyone's entry until after judging.

general rules apply



have fun
