Haha, DS. Congratulations on your win. This is a nice presentation. No more 575's, today it's 353. Respectfully, Jan

    Lol. Yep, next will most likely be 1/6/1. Haha. Thank you for the great review and congrats, Jan. I'm glad you liked this silliness.

    I'm going to sponsor a poetry contest of 1 word.

    Hahaha. I've made jokes about that before. A 0/1/0. Lol. There actually was a one word contest a few years ago. It's doable with the right pic but maybe you should let them use a picture either. Haha. Or chose one yourself that is so ridiculous that no one could write anything to and make them have to use it. Haha. Thanks for the chuckle this morning, J.

    That was meant to read "shouldn't let" not should let. Just woke up.

While the poem is strong in its own right, I think that the visual really makes this one stand out. In addition to good writing, there is an art in presentation and this poem presents wonderfully. Bravo

    Thank you, Nickie. Yes, I agree, the piece always needs the perfect pic to accompany it. I really appreciate the generous stars, N. I'm glad you liked my little offering. I hope you have a great week.

I instinctively like this. It's humor shines through, even though I can't quite understand the reference to a better prompt costing four bucks. Of course, I may just be slow on the uptake -- it wouldn't be a first {winks}.

Best of luck with this when the voting booth opens {smiles}.

    Thank you for the great review, Alex. I changed it a little. It's actually only 3 bucks to create your own contest. The writers on here can create their own contests and have the rules be whatever they would like. I really appreciate the generous stars. I'm glad you liked this silly piece.

    Oh, I knew you could create your own contests on FS, but I didn't realize you had to pay for the privilege.

    Yep, 3 bucks.

C'mon... you win often enough to blow some bucks on a better prompt, surely? I'd love to see what topic you came up with. These 5-7-5s must be for folks with short attention spans.

    Lol. That's for sure. I was thinking about creating this ridiculous contest where it would be so complicated that the committee would never be able to police all the entries. That's if there even was any. Lol. They'd seriously have to work for their money if I created a contest. Haha. Thank you for the great review and stars, Lisa. Have a great night.

    Oh, so you have a wicked mean streak! I hope you won't tax the poor entrants' brains too much at short notice.
