Hello Brilliant poets!
This contest is open for all to enter
In my opinion, when I sit down to write, one of the most important things is
inspiration.
Here at AP, there are some wonderful poets who are also great contest host/hostesses who have some inspiring contests. I have looked through tons contests that I have entered in my 3 years here at AP to help remind me of the contest hosts who inspired me most. Some of you were very vivid in my mind. I am sure I will have a 2nd contest when I think of more, and I am sure that all of you out there have your favorites as well...I hope that mine are also some of yours....
Here is my list of Brilliant poets/inspiring hosts:

Thank you, Lynda... I have been wanting to try a Pantoum. Maybe I can do one in honor of Pamela; I always can turn to her wonderful list on forms if I am curious about any and she had written a Pantoum for my recent Victorian Parlor Game on the Chatelaine that piqued my interest. Thanks for this! Pinning you with an *ivory hand and your fan*
