VH1 is giving away two tickets to see Madonna perform live at the Roseland Ballroom in New York City. The mega pop diva is scheduled to perform at the historic catering hall/music/dance venue on April 30th in celebration of the April 29th release of her CD "Hard Candy".
But here is the catch.
You have to submit a four-line poem about Madonna. VH1 notes the poem "can rhyme, not rhyme, be about her fashion sense, be about a song, or be about a particular era of her storied career. Hey, it can be about any aspect of Madonna's life that moves you. We'll check entries through noon of April 24, and decide on two winners. Transportation to NYC is not provided. But once you're here, there will be two tickets waiting for you."
You can submit more than one entry and remember that transportation to the Big Apple is not included.
