My Challenge:
First, as a poet, I realize that we all like to free-lance, use our words as they come to us and let it go at that. However. The Poetic Fun Category, is an opportunity, not a mandate, allowing you to focus on life, your life, and to express yourself in a way that you had not, perhaps, previously, considered. This is a SHOW-CASE of Artistic Ability, your ability to present the truth as you know it, all I ask is, that you share your truth with us, those of us who DARE, to write the truth, as we know it!.
My Challenge is; Write about a time, incident whatever, that made you SO happy, that you, literally, cried!
I like happy feet {Steve Martin} and I know that all of you have shed Happy Tears. Tell us about those, I think its time, for Happy Tears, what do you think?
I may be breaking the rules here, but for me, I don't care if you present your thoughts in a poetic manner, just tell us about the time, you were so HAPPY that you cried. It can about the pregancy test, the lab results, you got money back from the I.R.S. I don't care about the format, just tell us about your"Happy Tears."
If the winner is not a poem, but a statement, I may, take that winner's comments and convert them into a Poem, assuming I have such ability.
Have fun, now, cry your happiness out to us all!

Can I do this, rule wise?
Regarding my poem about rejection, being ignored and all that. I made a statement that I could walk past a mirror and see no reflection at all.
What I didn't tell you was that usually, when I walk past a mirror, I just have to stop and applaud!
