I have decided to start a contest since i have been wraped up in school and events I feel like i need to post more and why not start off with a contest? The task is to write poem about
A. nature (including plants and animals)
B. history (events and all)
C. fiction (a short story that rhymes)
D. Reality (anything that can or did happen)
These will have a 10 word limit as kind of a challenge.
the contest starts now and ends the day after thanks giving when I will look them over giving them different scores. The prize is being mentioned on my mom's blog, and of course mine. I guess you can just write in your poem in the comments section of this post and my mom will print them out so i don't see.
Time devours.
Yet, on our roof,
Pigeons strut
And warble.

For the reality category...
Small white dove,
ferocious, loud, obnoxious:
a lot of rage.

Eden's gate slammed cruelly shut,
"Free at last!" cried Eve.

Mine falls into the history and reality categories:
The Spartans, primped and oily,
Xerxes' minions slew at Thermopylae.

Charles the second,
I heard last night,
Had 17 children.

The Norman army
Crossed the channel
Harold dead
William conquers
