It's a Tuesday, which means we've got two prompts today:
- Write a sweet poem.
- Write a sour poem.

Running out of Time for a Chance at $1,000!
Writer’s Digest has extended the deadline to their Writer’s Digest Poetry Awards competition to November 21. As you may have guessed from the bold statement above, the winner will receive $1,000 cash!
The winning poem will also be published in a future issue of Writer’s Digest magazine. And the winning poet will receive a copy of the 2015 Poet’s Market.
Even poets who don’t win can win, because there are prizes for 2nd through 25th place as well.

Here's my attempt at a Sweet and/or Sour poem:
"Thai"
I love to eat Thai food,
because it tastes so good.
I love the sweet and sour
chicken with the sauce poured
over veggies and rice.
Mmmm. Thai for lunch sounds nice.
