Past Present and Future by SteveS

You will be challenged to write about something that has a particular reference to you that involves a perspective from the past, the present, and your take of it's future.  

It can be about anything at all.

 

Guidelines:

 

1.  Rhyme or Free Verse    ( I prefer artful rhyme for this one, but love  beautiful free verse, as well)

 

2.  A  24 line poem:   8 for the past, 8 for the present, 8 for the future.

 

3.  No sticky, pretty, strangely, shifty, oddly things, ....thanks.

 

4.  Have fun and make sure your have read your poems aloud to yourself before entering to test for rhythm, beats, and impact at the end, as  these are very important in my observations.
