Dance of Death Poetry Contest

Blog Posted:3/21/2025 9:38:00 AM

The one thing we all have in common is we are not dead. But alas! The song that gripped the world... Dance of Death!!! Here the main character is dancing with the dead... a story that will chill you to the bone. So why not open up your poetic juices and write a poem about such a creepy song! This is a premiere contest so there will be a digital trophy given to the winner. Have a blast writing away. Remember, we all love Iron Maiden and I look forward to reading and judging your entries. Blessings to be alive! Peace. Robert
