Word By Word Poetry Forum Expanded

Just wanted everyone to know that Word By Word now has a Fun And Games section with 9 different poem-challenge puzzles which run on a weekly basis. So if you're a poet or simply love words, and like a good brain exercise, stop by the newly expanded WBW. If you merely enjoy reading good, uplifting, and inspiring poetry, you're more than welcome to visit any time. Here's an example of one of our Poem Challenges. One of our mmebers came up with the idea for it.

There are few rules to this game. As tiltjlp says, it is already a major brain drain.

However there are a couple of rules. These are as follows:

1. You may only use each extracted word 'once' in your poem.
2. You may however use the reverse of that word eg. bat - tab
3. Please present your extracted words and poem as shown below..

Additionally, you may extract as many words as you want from the Master Word for inclusion in your poem but remember you may only use each word 'once'.

This first challenge shall end on the 8-26-2006 (US) or 26-8-2006 (UK)
