Guest poem

Poetry contest!

By Honus X.

Wanted for consideration

Blameless tame verse!
Stilted and hackneyed cliches!

Trite, tight rhyming lines, preferred!

Broad, vague references
to impossibly heightened
states of emotion a must!

Obvious cookie-cutter
stenciled wisdom a plus!

The boundaries are
bold and relentless.

We only need entrants
who color inside the lines!

Original concepts,
challenging ideas,
and harsh realities
need not apply!

Entry fee: one hundred member dollars.

Best of luck!
