The poems will be judged Friday February 10th, so ready your rhymer and let loose some alliteration.

- Get everyone you know to comment on your poem and vote for it.
- The top five poems with the most comments and votes (from different people) will move to the final round.
- The final poem will be selected by executive chef, Paul Flores and owner, Gary Martin Hays.

Not only will the winner
Have an excellent dinner,
Prepared by Chef Paul,
He is the best, after all.
We will have a dedication to your rhyme on our site,
With a video of Chef Paul where your poem, he will recite.
