Contest Conundrum

While wishing to enter the poetry contest, I scan the page of PS with intent and interest. Many topics I find challenging and fairly fascinating, the submission requirement even more interesting. The poem should be original, I shouldn’t clone, it needs to rhyme in the rhythm of a specific zone. The format invented by the sponsor I should follow, creativity with metaphoric nuance I should show, and be poetic to make it a great write, so the reader in one breath can recite. The poem should be new, written after a certain date, with the sponsor’s liking mold it should relate. I then locate a contest that lets me have fun, write a poem wherein words have a free run. Entering the contest of multiple placements I can’t resist, hope to find my poem in the winners’ list.
