Tombstone Poetry
Poetry Contest
For this contest you'll be writing a poem that is called an epitaph. This is a brief poem, usually humorous, that is inscribed on a tombstone about a deceased person. It usually has rhyming lines.
Example:
Here lies One-Eyed Willie
Who died while laughing himself silly.
He drank too much liquor
That started his snicker
and ended up six feet under.
