Step by Step: Round three

    Welcome to Round 3 everyone. So far I'd say you all have done an EXCELLENT job taking your prompt and creating a story using metaphors, personification, imagery, poetic beauty I swear!
    In most stories you read, there is always a climax. Always a twist the author puts in their books, blogs, poems, etc

    That brings us to Round 3.
    Round 3 your poems should STILL consist of your title, your ten words, and now a TWIST.
    If your poem was happy make it sad. If it was serious make it funny. If it was sad make it happy. If you want to randomly include a frog being turned into a human, that's a twist! These are just examples of course...This round really is made to not only test your creativity, but get you to make your readers jaw drops, eyes water, hearts melt.
    Please when sending your poem to me VIA PM, state what the twist was in your poem incase you twist your words so well it makes it hard to tell!...

    Lets see where this takes you all :)
    You have until Friday, April 27th to turn in your poems.

    Here are your ten words incase you forgot.

    Just wanted to also add....

    Remember youre the author, if you dont want to change your poem at all, that is fine too, you could add an extra stanza and twist one aspect of your poem and not the whole thing....The twisting is all up to you and how you want to do it, I just didn't want everyone thinking you had to write a whole new poem again
