Once you have come up with your poem, please email me at RTFYBLOG@gmail.com with “poem challenge” in the subject line.  Don’t forget to include a link to your blog or at least your blog name so I know who to give credit to.  

You may submit as many poems as you like, but make sure they are only 4 lines total, please. 

The cut-off date for your submissions is April 5th.  I know that’s not a lot of time, but I have faith in your creative ability to come up with something pathetic.

After April 5th, I will choose which FIVE (5) I find the most pathetic.  Those five will be published as guest posts on my blog during the month of April.

This is open to everyone, and I’m looking forward to the submissions.  So get to work and let’s see what kind of pathetic poems you can create that describe that photo above!

While waiting for Pinata to come back to work from a long illness that may or may not be real; I’d like to keep your spirits up by letting you know that even though I don’t live in the big city, my little area of the world still has a few pathetic occurrences that happen at random.   

And you’ll also be happy to know that I’ve been able to capture some of these pathetic events on camera.  

Would you like to see some of them? 

Of course you would!!

Let’s begin with this UPS truck driver trying to squeeze between a parked car and a Home-moving truck.   Believe it or not, he made it through by folding in the side mirror on the parked car.

do you see anything odd or strange about them?

I took this picture a couple years ago as I was approaching an intersection.

At least she was obeying the law.
