Prompt
Hello everyone! Sorry for the delay in contest, I went to Oregon for a week! And while I was there I was just enjoying my time with my grandparents! Listening to their stories when they were growing up, how they both met, playing games with them, and of course eating Grandma's cooking!! So I want you guys to write me a poem about your grandparents! Write either you listening to their stories, best memories about them, whatever, as long it's about your wonderful grandparents! And twist is you must use a LOVELY word bank!!! You must have these words in your poem, or you will be DQ! Words are, LOVE, PASSION, LAUGHTER, SCREAM, JEALOUS.
These are the only people who can enter into this second part of the rounds contest!!
