Step by Step: Round two

    Round 2 Begins today! Great job on the first round guys! You got a great start on the stories you chose to write about!!
    Now comes the adjusting and tweaking part. Each of your poems will be given 10 additional words you have to add to your piece. Everyone has different words, I chose them at random.
    Now most all of us have participated in challenges where we have to use ten words. However, with these ten words, you are going to use the first five in the first half of your poem, and the other five in the second half.

    There are no rules that state you have to keep the same poem. If you guys would like to completely redo your poem or add more stanzas and what not, you may! Your prompt and title must ALWAYS be the same, not the poem itself.
    I trust you guys to choose where the halfway mark is in your poem. Count the lines or the stanzas and split it in half. If you need help or want me to tell you where I think the halfway point is PM me and I will show you.

    Don't forget! The only rule in round one was to have the title somewhere in your poem. That Rule still applies throughout the rest of this challenge.

    Find your poem title and retrieve your words - note: they don't have to be in the order I have them
