Congratulations, Jan on your gold cup. This takes me back to my childhood when I quoted my stanza from that Wordsworth poem for a spring school play and more recently, when Henry and I visited the Lake District in England and toured Grasmere, his home.

hmmm, this is really nice, but is William allowing two different types of poetry then? I better look at his rules again. This is sure a beauty.

Thanks for proving I’m a moron Jan. I actually thought the words had to be in alphabetical order. I was okay until I got to VWXYZ… Then I scrapped the whole thing. Maybe I’ll have another shot. Good entry. Terry the moron.

Jan Allison
Date: 10/31/2021 11:18:00 AM

you can do it either way Terry, alphabetical order or free verse like this:-) hugs Jan xx Hope you still have a copy of the original!:-)
