Pentathlon

I went up against some sharp competition Friday night at the Highland Park Annual Poetry Pentathlon. Shout out to Bryce Johnson on a well-deserved victory.

There were five events in all (hence 'pentathlon'):

• The Pantoum (just google it)
• The Epistle (letter in verse)
• Poetry Potluck (perform another contestant's entry)
• Fairy Tale Poem (written from the viewpoint of a minor character in a fairy tale)
• On the spot (prompt provided when you walk in)

I'll publish my entries in separate posts now. Tell me what you think.
