I know I will enjoy your poetic works of art.
The ending date is on my adoptive mother's birthday in memory of her and the 76 years, 11 months, and two weeks that she and my father celebrated a love that went on and on and still goes on in heaven.
Still remember us as a family in prayer and our son who is still a long way from being well.
Enjoy the contest, have fun, and God bless each of you.

I have not at this time written an example poem but you can look online and find plenty of example poems in each form but not necessarily about an anniversary but they will give you some idea how to do each form and maybe even inspire a work or art.
You may contact me by soupmail if you have any questions if this outline is not clear about what I expect.
