Here's the topic for July:

July - Lets throw a curve and have a topic based on the popular Fun and Games thread, The Iron Poet Challenge. Submit a piece that contains the three words given.

The three words are: contrite, entreat, desecrate

Now, if you aren't familiar with the Iron Poet Challenge, you can find it here.

For the purpose of the poetry contest this month, the rules are:

1. Use the three (3) challenge words in a poem. Variations are allowed (example: if the word is 'walk', then walks, walked or walking would be acceptable)

2. Any poetic form (free verse, sonnet, sestina, etc) is permitted.

3. Have fun!

Good luck to all of you! I can't wait to read this month's fabulous poems!
