Contest Rules
~Write me a Sonnet but, let it be known
no poems are allowed with names there upon.
No wordie finesse to impress or construe
like gossamer wing, sublime or imbue.
Submitting confusion or befuddled verse
or morbid misssspellings will cause me to curse.
And, please leave out language referring to sex,
for most to be tactful, it's far too complex.
Disqualification befalls the Bard
who fails to comply or rules, disregard.
Expecting to place, my will must be done,
but always remember… you’re here to have fun.
When judges use hammers to drive home their rules
just try to avoid getting hit by these tools.
