Should DU have a poetry contest?

[Joanne98]

They could publish a book and keep the profits. What do ya think?

I've got one in there, somewhere. It's definitely worth the read -- some good stuff in that thread.

4. That really is an intriguing question to ask...

And I really don't know if I'd be up to the task
You see I have a very hard time
Trying to get words to rhyme
So on this one I may have to pass

8. Nobody is more creative than DU'ers

When MWO had theirs I got published. The G.WAR.B. poem is mine. I have another, called, "When A Bush Is Around Shit Happens".
LET'S DO T.. All proceeds go to DU. It's a great idea.

11. Early entry: Ode to Bush*

Roses are red, violets are blue,
My old vacuum sucks, and so do you.

Violets are blue, roses are red,
You lied like a rug, now thousands are dead.
