It is more fun to talk with someone who doesn't use long, difficult words but rather short, easy words like "What about lunch?"

I will grow old sending in scribbled notes / tied to the teats of cows and the tails of goats.

Monthly Contests
APS sponsors monthly meeting contests in the categories of General and Light Verse four times this year, with submission deadlines on the day of the meeting in September, November, January, and March. In each of the two categories, APS awards $10 for the judge's first place choice and $5 for second place. Before the awards are announced at monthly meetings, a popular vote on finalist poems is also taken.
2012 Annual Contests
APS offers over $2,000 in prize money for the twenty-nine 2012 contests. Adhere rigorously to the Guidelines and Contest Rules.
