Contest Description

What to Submit?

The word "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" comes from the.classic "Mary Poppins" movie. It is said to mean- something "Extraordinary or Wonderful" It can also be something "Great or Good" so with that being said, in this challenging contest you must incorporate those four words into a (9-line poem) Also, there must be 9 syllables in each line and a rhyme pattern (AABBCCDDE). Oops just one more twist- The last words of the first 4 lines must start with the first words of the next four lines. So, if your last words of your first four lines end with- Heartbeat, Treat, Alive, Arrive than the first word of the next four lines should begin with Arrive, Alive, Treat, Heartbeat. (See my example on my page) Also, please title your poem "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious"  Thank you and put on your thinking caps for this one...you'll need them (LOL) Cheers!
