Contests: Just For Fun

Winning contests pleases folk; Losing makes ‘em shrug. Write a lot and go for broke; Get that writing bug. Try new forms and have a blast; Enter, have a ball. Nothing wrong with coming last; Laugh about it all. for Joe’s I just can’t win contest Using the 7/5 trochee, a form created by Andrea
