It's that roses time of year
And I find myself single again So for a creative outlet I turn to Blog du Wren* Yep, folks, it's that time of year again. Put on your rhyming hats and get ready for the 2nd annual BdW Roses Are Red Poetry Contest. The rules are the same as last year: your poem must follow the standard ABCB "Roses are red" rhyme/stress pattern, it must make reference to either "red" or "roses", and it must be completed by 11:59 pm PST, Friday Feb 15. After that, come back and vote on your favorite poem (please e-mail me or use the contact page so voting can stay anonymous*). Check out last year's entries for inspiration (and a good laugh. They were seriously awesome. When I went back and read them, I busted my gut all over again. Esp. Chris's about red and blue states–so great). |

In one sense, that is great because the poems are the most fun part. In another sense, it is a bummer because a)it means people aren't participating :( and b)I don't get to give out any credit for a winner, because it was hardly a quorum************************ |
