Open Ended Poetry Contests

Please give us a topic, at least just a clue I have no direction, don't know what to do Do I scribe what I know, or write from the heart? Or do I quote Shakespeare and try to sound smart? A ballad, a sonnet, a three line haiku? Or try to be clever, and try a senryu Perhaps using penta, and maybe i-ambic? Dactylic or pyrric, it's sending me manic So next time a subject, please tell us ahead And I'll write something different to be a blockhead
