A Note to Poetry Contestants

You are welcome to enter this contest, whether or not you won a prize in one of my previous contests.

Note from Sponsor:

If you need an example for a dodoitsu, you can go to my page or see the examples on Poetry Soup. My recent dodoitsu’s are “BODYCOMBAT” and “Frank Friendship.” The poem I have listed here is for its “nonsensical” content. Enjoy writing your poem 7-7-7-5 syllables. If you don’t want to be humorous that is okay.
