1st Poetic Muselings Summer Poetry Challenge

The Poetic Muselings (Michele Graf, Margaret Fieland, Mary Jensen and Anne Westlund) are having a poetry contest to see which one of us can write and post the most poems between July 15th, 2014 and September 1st, 2014. The author who writes and posts the most new poems on the Poetic Muselings Group Blog will win a writing book of their choice from Amazon.com.

Rules:

1. To be counted, poems must be written between July 5-September 1, 2014. Older poems posted must be marked “Old Poem” or “Previously Written Poem.” Older poems will not be counted.

2. While new poems can be posted on the individual poet’s blogs, to be counted they must be posted on the Poetic Muselings blog.

3. The winner will be announced on Friday, September 5th, 2014.

There will be opportunities for reader participation. So watch this space!

Here’s my first poem for the challenge:

Long Division

I didn’t used to like math
until I crossed Peggy’s path
now I get excited
whenever I’m divided.
