Is it ok to rewrite a piece for the challenge?
I have a poem I wrote about a year ago that would be perfect for this week's challenge. However I have a very difficult time with meter and line length. Would it be breaking the rule that everything must be something written this week, if I took the same premise as my poem and turned it into a story? I would be writing most things over, as it is now in a poem format, but some of it would still be the same. I feel inspired to re-write it, but don't want to enter it in the challenge if that is considered against the rules. Thanks!

No the words would be different, but it would tell basically the same story just in a totally different way. I'd add characters, and dialogue, where in the poem there was some of that, but I'd want it to seem like a story instead of a poem.

Shann, that's fine--provided it is a total re-working. If you are just using the same foundational story, that's fine.
