Wouldn't you like your poetry read on A Prairie Home Companion? Put your hurry on and pick up the pen. From the Bed of Roses Love Sonnet Contest information page:

We'll accept rhymed or unrhymed fourteen-line sonnets. We think they should be love poems, but love of what, who's to say. Absolutely must be original. Must be submitted by Friday, April 11, at midnight Central Time.

Tick tock! Submit your sonnet.
