    Nice work, Joyce. Love your finish, not a doubt in my mind what you would have said with another 20 seconds or so. Congratulations! I am a editor kind of person and even after years I will still do minor editing to pieces.

    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
