That Four Letter Word!

by la_spice @ 2008-10-08 – 08:50:47

Another La_spice Challenge.

There's a certain four letter word which has been selected for the theme of this year's UK National Poetry Day which is tomorrow - Thursday 9th October.

I challenge everyone to have a go at writing a poem and posting it on their own blog before midnight tomorrow. This is not a competition so please, please have a bash!!!!

The theme is:

WORK

Please remember to leave a comment here so that I don't miss reading your poem.

Should the word itself be incorporated into the poem, or just used as a theme ?

And does it have to be new ?

  Just the theme and it doesn't have to be new

Clairvoyantly, I'd already risen to your challenge before I read this.

bloggerel

and also coined this neologism. What do you think?
