HERE is the challenge us Fabulous Free Versers were given. You are ALL invited to join up and participate. You'd be surprised what you can do ... but we wouldn't. :))

You are challenged to write a ten-minute free verse poem. Here are the rules: You are NOT to think about what you are writing about before beginning your write. You are not to edit your write when you are finished. I want you to clear your mind, look at your watch or clock, note the time and start writing. When ten-minutes have passed ... stop writing. THAT is your piece. Post it. :)) Some people write like this as a rule. Of course, most DO edit and pick and choose what they keep in the write. This time we don't want to do so. For those of you who've never written like this, I think you may be surprised at how creative you are "under the gun". Some of the most compelling poetry is often difficult to explain, however, upon reading, feelings are induced in the reader and the mind is often thrown into deep thought. There is great value in that, often as much as there is in concise, easy to understand pieces. My opinion, of course. In any case. This is our challenge. I hope you'll all give it a try.
