Author Notes Since I very rarely, hardly ever do poetry, I wrote this is prose and did not enter the contest... CONTEST RULES The poem must tell a story. The poetic form is a series of Two word couplets. That is, two words to a line. Each couplet must be able to stand in its own right, so no splitting a thought phrase or idea across two or more lines. Rhyming is optional.
