Poetry Contest

Let's see some Prose
The Challenge, adapt your own favourite poem written by you, into prose.

You get ONE entry, make it count.
1,000 word limit, (I will be favouring length if all other guidelines have been met)
Obviously well structured, a good proof read for the acceptable grammar
Punctuation too.
It must reflect your selected poem
You must provide a link to the original poem for me to read in comparison to its prose counterpart.
Request critique if you want.
That's about it really, the more refined, the more chance you'll win.
The Deadline is Three Months, a competition like this needs time, and time you've been given.

Have your fun then

This does take time and I know which poem I am going to use. Great idea!

I'll be back.  Can I use more than one poem?  I got a couple that go together that I could make into a prose.

Sure, as long as your prose reflects them both. And the connection is notable.

Awesome Idea Evan.

Let me see what I can find time for---I'm back in the classroom now and will be pre-occupied until mid-October, so mine may have to wait until the first half of the semester is over, then my students go on clinical rotations after that, so I'll have free time during the second half of the semester.

I can use a poem that is extreme content right?
