What would Shakespearian poetry sound like 65 million years ago? Maybe something like “Rawr rawr rawr ra rawr grawr?” We’ve no idea, but for our next challenge, in honor of this handcrafted Monster Hunting mug, we’ll be looking for your creative suggestions for a Shakespearian sonnet about dinosaurs.

(For convenience, here’s an article on iambic pentameter, which is the rhyming scheme commonly used in Shakespearian sonnets. We had to look this up too.)

Winner gets this handcrafted Monster Hunting mug that’ll conveniently hold 20 ounces of your favorite delicious beverage of choice. You’ve got until 6:09 AM PST to submit your poetry.

Send your submissions to contests@desertbus.org with “Dinosaur Sonnet” in the subject line. Also, please include with your submission the name or handle by which you’d like to be announced on air should your submission win.

RAWR!
