Crafting Five Lines of Perfect Pet Poetry - Deadline: 11:59 PM ET on June 27, 2014

$200 in Prizes for Crafting Five Lines of Perfect Pet Poetry

Almost everyone has or had a pet at one time, whether it be a dog, a cat, a hamster, bird, goldfish, bunny, or some other creature. In five, and only five scintillating lines of poetry, tell us something about that pet. If you never had a pet then make something up. Make it funny, serious, sad, or uplifting. But more than anything, give us some insight into the bond between humans and their animals.

Deadline: 11:59 PM ET on June 27, 2014

Prize: First place winner receives $100. Two runner-ups will receive $50 each.
