hi, dear soupers… the theme for this challenge is  wordplay…  write a monoku ( 17 syls or less) which would really floor me!... pick ONE of the 4 words listed below as your creative handle:

1.WILDFLOWER or 2. WALLFLOWER

3.BASELINE or 4. BLOODLINE

now, here's the deal:  your monoku should be written using the literary device, alliteration...thus, this is a monoku and alliteration in one package... if you deliver something that is way out of the gate while keeping the topic focused, you earn a spot!

please adhere to these simple requirements:

~ include sponsor's name, contest  title, and date of poem

~ check howmanysyllables.com for the right count

~ the chosen word is your poem's title

~ text must be done in small caps except proper nouns

~ compose a NEW, ORIGINAL WORK for this spree

~ categorize as monoku

~follow TPS' guidelines and sponsor's requirements

~multiple placements will be considered

unique imagery, excellent substance of content, and emotional appeal will impress me... have fun, everyone!
