    Write a poem which incorporates at least two colors. The idea is to use colors to infer meaning.
    Poem may be rhyming or not.

    Hmmmm, imagine that. A contest that encourages creativity rather than trying to stifle it with a laundry list of restrictive rules.
    I'm kinda surprised you even entered, but enter you did.

    Congrats on taking 3rd place...
