Sing it Again

Do not bash religion
Do not rhyme or center the poem
Do not use flashy bg's that will kill my vision
Do not write teen angst, suicide, macabre, etc.


I do have other contests if you are interested.


Prompt A: Just be inspired. Please don't copy the poem.



She said

sing to me a dream,
and make it pretty;

with flowers and long flowing
hair smoothed
by calloused tips of fingers.

He said

I already sang you a song,
and it was pretty,
and spoke of flowers in your long
flowing hair;

how I like to smooth it
with the calloused tips of fingers.

She said

sing it again.





Prompt B: You may use the phrase if you wish


The stars are strung in scattered
dispositions, and seem so close
I could pluck them
with the tips of these fingers.






Ends when I feel I have enough quality entries.
