Apples are red
Curse words are blue
I just wrote a poem about New York
Now…how about you?
Dude, I never claimed to be a poet. And you don’t have to be either to participate in the April mini-challenge! This is part of the larger NY Challenge that I’m hosting (and if you’ve read your book, don’t forget to post the link here). In February we made lists. In March, we celebrated National Women’s History Month, NY-style. This month, we’ll be writing poetry. The good news is, it doesn’t matter how bad it is (hello, did you notice my lack of skill?), you’ll still get an A for effort. Well, you’ll get an entry into the giveaway, at least (this month it’s a Strand mug).
You can write a haiku, a limerick, or heck, even a sonnet (overachiever). Your poem can rhyme, or not. You could even parody a song (and heck, if you do that, I’ll give you two entries!). It just has to be about New York. Because, you know, this is a NY Challenge.
Once you’ve composed and posted your masterpiece, come back here and sign Mr Linky. Then check back on May 1st to see who’s the lucky winner.
Ugh! This is a great challenge, but waaaay out of my comfort zone. I’ll have to give it some thought.
This one is DEFINITELY a challenge, but I’ve done it. I’ll get a link posted once the post goes live …

Wow! Am I the first one? cool. Will that help me win?

I’ve written a really lame haiku – do I have to post it on my blog or can I leave it in the comments here?
I did a limerick (even though I am really lame when it comes to poetry!) – it posted today and I added it to Mr. Linky.

This is a great idea for a challenge…but I agree with Kathy, it’s a tough one! I copped out and did a haiku, based on a true story.
Heather and Care, your poems are great. I am ashamed to put mine next to yours! lol.

I manned up and wrote a post for my blog and added it to Mr. Linky.
Loved the challenge this month! I just made up my lame little cinquain! Hope everyone can laugh with me and not at me
