      Welcome to the Great Word Winding Tournament*! Today me, myself, and I will be holding a contest! If you deign to exert the brain strain, then you my gentle (or ferocious and fierce) reader mayhaps might win a $5 Amazon gift card!** (Ya, I know, “Big” incentive. 🙄😋) Below are the rules for the contest.

      1. Did I state that you will be writing a poem? No? Well, you will be writing a poem.
      2. This poem must be about the pig-footed bandicoot (If you don’t know what I am talking about, woe is you.)
      3. The poem needs to be a minimum of 10 lines long and a maximum of 30 lines long.
      4. You must use 3 of the following words in your poem. Bane, Tragedy, Pyromaniac, Snoutfair, Cattywampus, Flummoxed.
      5. Me, myself, and I will scour and scrutinize the sonnets, (It doesn’t have to be a sonnet! I just like alliteration. . . hint, hint.) and the poem I like the most I will reward the reward to its writer.

      So, who will be first? @loopylin ?

      * Contest ends Feb. 5, 2023 at 11:59 pm CST

      ** This will depend on if I can actually figure out how to send an Amazon gift card to an email address. . . and if the competition is not banned under KP policies.

      You will love what you spend time with.

          This looks awesome, but I haven’t written poetry in years… I’ll try my best, though!

              @power While I’m not a poem person, I looked up the pig-footed bandicoot and they are interesting animals! They’re extinct, though, sadly.

              Where'd I get ya this time? The liver? The kidney? I'm runnin' outta places to put holes in ya.

                Hmm, I shall search my inner self to see about this Word Winding you hath spoken of.

                  I will join! My poetry is usually sweet and whimsical, so trying to bend it into a piece about bandicoots will be interesting.

                  He must increase, but I must decrease.

                    Sounds really interesting!!

                    But I don’t think I can join. I’ve got lots of school to do and writing as well.

                    I’ll be looking forward to seeing who wins!!

                      I don’t enjoy poetry and I’m not good at it so I won’t be doing this however if there’s ever a short story contest/tournament, I’ll enter that. 😉

                        @power This is honestly the best contest I’ve ever seen in all my years on the internet. And I’m OLD. (If inspiration strikes me, I shall try my very best to participate.)

                            Well well! This sounds very exciting.

                            What with my schedule I’ll see if I can get to writing.

                            Alas I have many woes upon me

                            For I know not much of the great bandicoot

                            But I shall try to research enough for some poetry

                            Well ta ta for now. The game is afoot!

                              Happy weekend! I hope that y’all who had church today had an awesome time!

                              Just a quick reminder, there are only 6 hours left in the Great Word Winding Tournament. I have had uno submission (Thank you @felicity !), so if nobody else sends anything in, I suppose I already know who wins 😋.

                              Hope y’all have a great rest of your day!

                              You will love what you spend time with.

                                @loopylin @folith-feolin @elanor and @lewilliams (If perhaps inspiration has indeed struck its blow . . . but hopefully it wasn’t too hard upon the pate.) Also, I believe one of our newcomers mentioned that they wrote poetry (Severed rose heads? 😋) @soleilnaia

                                  @power Unfortunately I’ve been sick this week, so all inspiration was absolutely banished. *weeps* I shall always remember this glorious contest though! Please tag me if you ever host another!
