The Life Acrostic Poetry Contest

What to Submit?

1 original, acrostic poem on the theme of .............LIFE!

Just write a poem that looks like this as a starting template:

L

I

F

E

(Then fill out the rest. And it doesn;t have to be double-spaced as seen above. In fact, I'd rather it not.)

You guys are so good. You're gonna crush it. How about this. First place winner gets a painting of "life" made by my 3 kids. I'll send it to you framed. So when you have company over and they look at it and say "What's this?" you can say "oh, so I won a small-stakes online poetry contest and as a first place prize I was awarded a painting of 'life' by the judge's 3 children." 

So fun!
