5 Minute Poem

We are put on our honor To write a poem in 5 minutes. We can’t take time to proof it If we really want to win it. This is a heavy order, AndI I’ll try my very best, But I always got so nervous When I had to take a test. I am eying clock before me And I’’m doing very good But if I make mistakes I cannot Repair them as I should. Since I have grown older It takes longer just t get 5/10/13 9:05 to 9:10 For 5 minute challenge contest it took 3 minutes to write and 2 minutes to remove too many lines and some of the errors. k.

I could sure get the whole "process" of your writing while seeing this one with your notes!! I called mine a five min. poem but actually I was surprised I did it in just 3 minutes but had to take two min. to edit!!!

lol. You did well, Joyce. I'd never chance a challenge like this, as I take forever to come up with a decent piece. Good luck in the contest, my friend. Licia :-)

I like this challenge. Joyce, i write with this idea. I give myself a limit to write whats on my mind. Sometimes I come up with awesome things in 5 minutes. A wonderful poem, under 5 minutes... LINDA
