June 2012 Poetry Challenge - Winner joannie
Hello and welcome to the June 2012 poetry challenge.


I want you'll to create a layout (digital, hybrid or traditional) that includes a poem on it written by you. It can be one stanza or it can be several stanzas.


Please post your layout to this thread by 6-30-2012 along with the poem you wrote.
The subject or theme of your layout can be anything your heart desires.


The optional twist: Do a layout and poem about your father, your kids father, your grandfather or any father you know. This would be an awesome present in a frame don't you think?
The prize is a $5 gift certificate to ACOT. The winner will be chosen by me.


No the poetry doesn't have to rhyme. You can use any form that you wish. Examples: Acrostic, Ballad, Cinquain, Diamante, Epitaph, Haiku, and Limerick. These are just a few.


Here are some resources for you to check out:

Here is an example:

Here is what I wrote:Hello Pretty Kitty!
How was your day?
Did you play with your toys?
Or sleep the day away?

I just thought of a little rhyme for an All About Me layout you could do. Tell us what you suck at. For example:

I suck at poetry
I suck at cooking
I suck at exercising
that is why my thighs
are super sizing.

Hehehehehe!

Have fun with it. :-D

:( Sorry to hear about your loss.

When things happen in our lives, writing is a good outlet.

When my parents divorced, that started my poetry writing.

The rhyming Monique is outdoing herself in the rhyme department. I wish I could do that, too.
