Contest Description

Don't you just love the sound of the word "symposia", (a plural word, meaning "conferences")?

I want you to imagine you are the organizer of symposia.  Make up any subject that sounds tantalizing and send out your invitations in enclosed rhyme, not forgetting to send one into this contest.  :)

Make sure your rhyme has twelve lines and the layout is good.

Give your poem the one word title of SYMPOSIA, plus the word symposia must be in the first line.
