*Note - we have updated Stan's contest (originally started on November 13, 2014) to work within the new contest platform on Neopoet.*

This is a test to see if many folks are interested in there being periodic contests here. This is Not an official contest, just one run solely by me. The winner will receive one slightly chipped quartz Indian arrowhead (likely of Cherokee origin), one southeastern wild turkey feather and one handwritten poem of mine (Winner's choice)
Rules :
Form--- any form but if not rhyming it better at least have strong poetic devices
Subject---I want a pastoral poem with a secondary level
Length------no more than 34 lines
Can be a new poem or a poem previously written

contest will remain open for 2 weeks after this posting date or until 20 poems are entered.
Post your poem on this blog and I'll be the sole judge ( nobody else wants to lol)

The contest idea has been aired before and I figured this might be a good way to see if it is popular enough to be worth trying on an official periodic basis.........So let's have your best. If the winner is good enough I'll even leave out them having to receive that hand copied poem of mine lol
