WORDS AWAKE! invited everyone (and you knew who you were) to compete in the inaugural WORST POEM! contest.

Winners Announced!

*****************************************

Here were the rules:

1. Write a limerick with the words “words” and/or “awake” and/or “wake” and/or “forest” featured somewhere prominently*.
2. Submit your limerick (via this form) to the WORST POEM! judges (comprised of a select subset of WORDS AWAKE! authors, writers, panelists, organizers, sponsors, exhibitors, participants and/or Hall of Famers).
3. Win lavish prizes!**

Some guidelines:

• Keep it clean, people.
• But no offense will be taken, so bring the funny.
• Multiple entries allowed.

*An example of a really bad (but probably not WORST!) such poem/limerick:

There once was a school named Wake,
where even writers could get a fair shake,
though the grading was hard,
and there wasn’t enough beer by the yard,
at least they didn’t burn you at the stake!

**Prizes:

• First place prize: $50 Gift Certificate to Village Tavern.
• Second through infinity place prizes (i.e., all participants): free e-copy of:

Lovers of limericks unite!
