For: Poetry Soup Contest! Poetry Contest
Sponsor: Benjamin Bartley
First make your base using all the pages of your poetry submissions. Simmer 20 years or so or until your first acceptance. Add the vowels one at a time (and maybe Y but prob'ly not). Use A B C to make it thinner; X and Z to make it thicker. Adjectives are to your taste; adverbs may make a waste. Serve it up with old-fashioned pen and ink, or avant-garde with electric links. ...and for desert a simple pie up in the sky where poems die, filled with the editors and 'zines that just say no while you wait for yes!

"up in the sky where poems die" is amazing and you should copyright that. Congrats placing so high. You deserve it with this take on the contest. Comical and real. Refreshingly irreverent.
