Challenge: Love Song

I'm sure you've read (or hopefully at least heard of) T. S. Eliot.  If you haven't, then you should go read it here.  Your challenge today is to write a love song of your own.  It doesn't have to be your love song, but write a love song of something.  It can be the love song of your childhood.  Of your favorite pet.  Of the girl next door.  Of anything.  Think past the traditional "love song" - maybe write the love song of a lost sock, or the love song of an abandoned baseball glove.  Get creative.  Good luck!

Challenge: If Only

The beginning words of your poem: If Only.  You take it from there.  If only_______
Your turn.  Good luck!

Challenge: Reasons Why

Your challenge today is to write a poem based on reasons why.  Why what?  That's for you to decide.  
How about 12 Reasons Why He Couldn't Love Her? 
                    10 Reasons Why She Didn't Understand.  
                    7 Reasons Why College Wasn't For Me.  
                    5 Reasons Why You Are the One For Me?

Go for it!  Have fun and good luck.
